| Description |
Built in 1900 as The Nook by the Schlitz Brewing Company, this bar was a Prohibition speakeasy, whorehouse, and gambling hall. In 1922 the name was changed to Southport Lanes when bowling lanes were added as brewers were banned from owning bars. A dumb waiter still exists which was used to shuttle illicit drinks to the prostitutes upstairs. When phone wires were pulled they discovered that the place had been used as an off-track betting parlor. A secret room was found where Mayor Anton Cermak used to play poker in the 1930s. The bar closed after 98 years in 2020 having withstood Spanish Flu and the Great Depression but not the COVID-19 lockdown. Located at 3325 N. Southport Ave. |
