Price of Old Style: $1.50 on tap!

Max's Place, like many Old Style Bars, is a survivor. Many Old Style Bars are places that thrived during the 70s and 80s, but as neighborhoods evolved and gentrified, the neighborhood bar started to lose it's appeal. Max's, along with Carol's Pub up the street (post on them coming soon), we're a part of a lively Country-Western bar and live music scene that was on Clark St. from Montrose to Lawrence back in the 70's and early 80's. Max's has been in the same family for four decades, and they have been able to keep customers coming in the door to this day.
We strolled in close to midnight on a Thursday night, and there was still a decent crowd there. Definitely all locals... We introduced ourselves to the bartender and she goes, "Hi, I'm Cindy" and looks down at her boobs, where "Cindy" is tattooed above her right breast. Genius! I mean, that definitely helped us remember her name...I think more women should do this and wear lo-cut tops :) Cindy was great to talk to, and the Old Style was cold and cheap. Not bad for early Friday morning!
Max's is an A+ dive (okay, maybe an A- because of the weird bathroom)...we had a great time and have an appreciation for places like this. The people who own the bar and their employees love this place. They love their customers and their customers love them. It's truly one big family, and with the county music in the jukebox and the Old Style on tap, they aren't forgetting their roots.
