Price of Old Style: $1.50 frosted mugs
Rose's, Sunnyside Tap, Western Tap, Sportsmans Lounge, Steve's...we've seen this place before. Walk in the bar, bartender watching TV...weird regular sitting at the corner stool.
I was excited about Bill's because some of their Yelp reviews talked about how cool the place was decorated for Halloween. Well, that was then and this was now...there wasn't a single decoration up, just some weak wooden replicas of the Chicago baseball stadiums. Bill's doesn't distinguish itself as a Cubs or Sox bar, but Cubs fans usually sit on the left side of the bar where the Wrigley replica is, and Sox fans on the right side under U.S. Cellular.
Chris was the regular, who had 70's acid rock on heavy rotation on the jukebox. He also told horrible jokes and mumbled a lot, mentioning 'heroin' to us a few times (we didn't bite).
The bartender, Sylvia, was a nice woman...she even gave me a cough drop...was getting over a cold. Not sure what brand it was--it just said "cough drop" on the wrapper. It could have been 10 years old for all I know.
Oh, and considering the clientele that frequents Bill's Pub, this is probably a good thing:
