THE
SUPERNATURAL PUB CRAWL
To
answer the demand for a Supernatural Tour that involves more time
in socializing and beverages and food, the SUPERNATURAL PUB CRAWL was created
as a special private tour.
A typical pub crawl involves only FOUR featured locations with extra
quality time at each. Less traveling that a standard
Supernatural bus tour, more time off the coach at interactive/socializing
events involving haunted/cursed/supernatural locales. Storytelling
between stops gives you the background legends and history. Tours include
handouts and prizes. No covers, no overpriced bars. Just great local color and
super photo ops!
Tours are four hours in length with one stop per hour average with an
average of 15 minutes drive-time between stops.
7PM to 11PM
is the most popular time, but other times can be arranged to fit corporate
needs, etc. (If you are picking up outside the core Metro area, total event
length to accommodate extra drive time can be stretched to five hours at no
additional cost.)
Tours are put together to compliment your group and depend on which
pubs/eateries are available on the night you select.
Among popular sites currently being used are:
The
Red Lion Pub (Lakeview).
Chicago’s #1 haunted pub, a British pub with a complete line of ales, ciders,
Scotches, phantom footsteps, etc.
The
Billy Goat Bar & Grill (
Lower Michigan
at Hubbard). Cheeseburgers a
la “Saturday Night Live” and old time journalist bar and hangout.
Plenty of 1945 Curse on the Chicago Cubs memorabilia on display. The ghost of
columnist Mike Royko still returns to drink in the
“Wise Guys Corner.”
Coogan’s
Riverside
Saloon
(Loop). A modern bar and restaurant
with wonderful old woodwork and an antique feel. Super appetizers and
drink specials. A former artists co-op, in the
1970s Mayor Richard J. Daley and City Hall feuded with this building’s owner
who now haunts the party room to the left behind the main bar (her former
office.)
Bar
Louie Taylor
(Little
Italy
). On a dark and lonely section of
Taylor Street
is this Bar Louie with great pub appetizers and drinks (specials regularly
offered). This is the heart of
the area where the “Devil Baby of Taylor Street” legend originated in 1913
and still maintains an early and eerie
Chicago
feel.
May
Flower Restaurant (
Chinatown
). Appetizers, full menu, and bar that
features “umbrella” drinks, facing the most haunted block in

spirit denizens while we party.
Ethyl’s
Party (
26th Street
). The original Colletta’s Funeral Home is now
a gangster-lore infested neighborhood bar complete with ghosts
where the caskets were formerly arranged for viewing. This site was featured
on a “Jenny Jones Show” haunted
segment.
Clark
Bar (Lincoln Park). Next to the haunted St. Valentine’s Day Massacre site with pool tables
and a mural wall-size photo of the crime scene!
Royal
Dragon Restaurant (
Chinatown
