"Boss Bar, an infamous late-night haunt since 1987, evokes memories of River North before it became a slick neighborhood. Its name references Mayor Richard J. Daley’s nickname, immortalized by Chicago newspaper columnist Mike Royko’s biography, Boss. The bar’s political legacy continues as owner Shay Ghazimoradi has supported Ald. Brendan Reilly’s career and contributed financially to his campaign." - Naomi Waxman
