Price of Old Style: $1.75 taps
K&H Lounge looks like a normal dive in the Portage Park neighborhood, but on this Wednesday night it was JAM PACKED. The reason? Pool. Lots of drunk middle aged guys yelling after every shot, high-fiving, and drinking cheap, cold beer. These guys had their own sticks, and also had their women there to cheer them on and drive them home at the end of the night. I'm pretty sure nobody noticed us walking in...we just sat at the bar and watched the evening unfold. These games were so intense there were almost a few near-fights...I was really hoping for our first Old Style Bar bar-brawl.
It was so crowded, we didn't get a chance to chat with the bartender, and didn't want to talk up the locals...everyone was here for the pool, not to talk to a couple of newbies. We did get a good laugh at the "siding" that was flanking the main door. Very strange. K&H is the ultimate neighborhood bar with a very solid clientele. This place won't be going anywhere anytime soon...
