L & L Tavern

"This Prohibition-era tavern is a favorite last-call destination in Lakeview. It carries one of the largest Irish whiskey collections in the city. There are also rumors that murderers like John Wayne Gacy and Jeffrey Dahmer hung out at the bar." - Ashok Selvam

"Situated at the colorful intersection of Clark & Belmont, L&L is a place that draws an eclectic crowd. It's a dive bar that will possibly even change your perception of dive bars. A truly deep dive. To say it lacks frills is an understatement. And that is just what makes it so...charming, let's say. The tavern is weathered, the seating looks like it got rejected from a community center and the beer lineup consists of just about any canned suspect you can think of. Speaking of suspects, L&L's seedy past included unknowingly providing a window seat to not one but two notorious serial killers. And despite it's checkered past, this spot is certainly one worth visiting. You'd be doing it wrong if you didn't order a PBR and a shot of Malort. Enjoy!" - Studio Malt
