My very temperate drinking Eyetalan father, would love to come to visit w/ my very Irish mother. It was one of the few times I would ever see him get drunk.; March 16, 2012 at 6:08 PM

ndspinelli said...: ChipS, When I worked for a Chicago law firm we would convene on Division Street after work on Fridays and The Lodge was one of the stops. I have been there many times as recently as this past summer. It was one of the bars we hit for my going away[to Wisconsin] party in the Fall of 1983.

Division Street bars were the setting for the flick, Looking For Mister Goodbar.; March 16, 2012 at 7:47 PM
Chip S. said...: Great place. When I was there, there were a couple of cops who'd flown in from NYC b/c they preferred spending SPD @ the Lodge.; March 16, 2012 at 8:29 PM
