Walked to the Long Room after a game at Wrigley to get away from the crowds. A bit out of the way, but not bad for locals I imagine. No food, which I like in Chicago because it seems to keep the crowds reasonable. A darker, long bar inside, with some seating in the back and also a nice outside patio. Nice music choices. This place had a great variety of styles, with most of it being hard to find or high quality. First place I’ve seen with Lost Abbey stuff, was not about to pay the price for it, but I found that intriguing none the less. Service was very good and knowledgeable enough. Would have been nice to see some dart or shuffle boards.

Long Room is a great neighborhood place, very relaxed, no tv, and always some interesting music playing. Friendly, laid back crowd. There is some Schlitz breweriana on top of the cooler towards the front, and unique artistic touches throughout the place. Taps rotate fairly often, good micro seasonals and Belgians. Beer list is not huge, but there is something for all tastes. One of my favorites in the area.

I live a bit down the street from this bar and it has been such a pleasant experience going here. A great relaxed bar with nice people and a good selection of local and national micro brews. Music is never too loud, nice lower lighting, just a really nice all around place and when the weather is nice the patio is relaxing. One of my favorite aspects is no tv’s!!!! Go here and have some conversation with your friends and you won’t get annoyed by a bunch of tv’s flashing in dimly lit room. Try to get here if you can and check out what they have on tap, because it is always changing
