Cold day in Chicago, stepping across the street. In this pic, it's Arthur, we think! Maybe also Bea? This
classic picture was taken in 1972. If you have any photos from North Avenue and Wells, at or near the Old Town Ale House..please
send 'em! ....it would be nice to see from you :) This photo is very cool (ta-dum-dum!) Thanks to the OTAH artist-genius
in residence, Bruce, who found this precious picture :).. If you have more pics, from Old Town, please email.
Tobin Mitchell is the heart and owner of the Old Town Ale House. She is as nice as she looks!

The Old Town Ale House is just off the busy intersection of North Avenue and Wells Street
in Chicago's Old Town community. It's a few blocks walk from North Avenue Beach and gorgeous, lush Lincoln Park, just
south of Lincoln Park Zoo. It's across the street from Piper's Alley, just around the corner from legendary Second
City and Zanies Comedy Club and down the street from the Red Orchid Theater. The neighborhood features several restaurants from Chinese to Mexican, from fast food and soup-and-sandwich,
to family lunch and dinner, and fine dining. There are theaters, shops for clothes, shoes, gifts, plants; groceries, nail
salons, pet stores, a 24/7 drug store, banks and ATMs up the wazoo. Just for location alone, the Ale House is a great spot
to relax.
This is a laid back watering hole, the likes of which you don't see much in Chicago anymore. The neighborhood is gentrified.
The Ale House is anything but.
They don't serve food, just bar snacks. But there are plenty of places nearby where you can buy sandwiches and stuff and
you are welcome to eat here. You can even order a delivery!
