This location is also right in front of a magical place called the South Loop Club, where The Joe Moran and I would always go after class for a libation. Sometimes we’d even go before class, or when we found that we were lacking class entirely. They had the strangest rule: you couldn’t have 2 glasses in front of you. If you ordered another beer but had a splash left in your current one, the bartender would make you finish it before placing the new one down. Odd, but effective. I always left the SLC having had more than I should have, but with a sense of completion. No halfsies.
This was back in the 20th Century. A totally different time.
(This location was also used in the 2008 film Traitor, though by then it looked a little different.)
