Bar · Wicker Park

"The Flat Iron is much louder and grungier than a lot of the fancy cocktail bars you’ll find near this Wicker Park intersection, so you shouldn’t come in expecting great drinks or stunning hospitality. It’s just a 4am bar that’s usually playing hardcore music, with walls covered in murals from local Chicago artists. But along with the typical pool and darts, they have skee-ball, a shuffleboard table, and Big Buck Hunter." - josh barnett
