Ukrainian Village Pub Crawl

The Ukrainian Village has possibly the most colorful pubs and dive bars in all of Chicago, some of which date back to Nelson Algren’s pub crawling days in the 1940s.

Note: This is a do-it-yourself crawl with eleven pubs listed here for completeness, which is probably more than anyone but only the heartiest of pub crawlers can handle, so feel free to customize each pub crawl to your abilities and tastes. Pubs on this crawl are located within walking distance and, but you may still want to hire Chicago Trolley if you want to travel further afield and bring your own beer! If you buy a copy of our book Historic Bars of Chicago ($12), you can get a $45 coupon that is more than 10% off for most rentals.
