The front room feels like a fancy den and provides a refined spot to hang out with friends. It’s also good for sports fans who want more than typical pub fare. The Old Town Ale House boasts an array of beers, ranging from craft brews by breweries like Revolution Brewing and Half Acre Brewing Company, to our favorite cult brands like Guinness, Stella Artois, Corona, PBR Tallboys, and more. The pub is also known for bartender Tim’s cocktails, including the classic Michelada.

Glunz Tavern

As Doyle gets ready to turn 80, he's scaled back his schedule to one day a week, but he's now worked for three generations of owners, and his tenure has spanned eight Philadelphia mayors. He's also served then Vice President Joe Biden and many other national politicians, athletes and celebrities. Now the bar plans to open weekdays at 5 p.m., weekends at 1 p.m., but their hours may change, said Polk. Per city rules, all in-house alcohol sales must end at 11 p.m. The food menu at The Old Town Ale House consists of small plates and bar food like nachos, tamales, carnitas, and even poke bowls. Over the years, the pub has become a staple spot for many, including those coming straight from the Second City theatre across the street.

Chicago’s Essential Dive Bars

A gem of a Thai restaurant sits inside the Marshall Hotel. The menu is standard compared to most Thai spots, the old suspects like pad Thai and satay are available. But the affordability and dependability make this an essential spot for the neighborhood. Old Town can be homogenous at times thanks to a stretch of sports bars packed with recent college graduates.

This restaurant may be the epitome of the neighborhood, with Italian-American classics and a nice patio tucked in behind Wells Street. Find old-school items like clams casino, an underrated Italian beef, and more. The Old Town Ale House has been called "The best bar in the world that I know about" by Roger Ebert[13][14] whose biographical film Life Itself contains several interviews within the bar, and ends with a portrait of Ebert in the bar that was painted by Elliott. "He's very personable, he loves people, and he comes home with stories and stories and stories, it's so much fun, it really is. Somebody's gotta write a book, I don't know who, but somebody has to write a book. He's amazing," Laura Doyle said. "He's a very dedicated man, very nice man; everyone loves him. I know he doesn't work full-time now, but still, he's very well-liked as you can tell by the turnout," said friend Robert Devitis.

The Old Town Ale House, not to be confused with recent newcomer Old Town Pub found nearby on Wells, can be found at the southeast corner of North and Wieland, at the base of a nicely appointed red-brick four-flat. The original caught on fire on February 9, 1971, at which point the bar and remaining furniture was shuffled across the street to 219 W. North Avenue in a “temporary” move that has lasted until today. Perhaps indicating that the move was less than temporary, in addition to the 36 years that have passed, is that the Old Town Ale House exterior was recently remodeled. The clapboard façade, showbill font, shingled west awning, and paned glass with yellow trim that gave the Old Town Ale House its signature dive-ish saloon feel has been replaced with a nicely wood-paneled forest green façade with matching awning. At its core, Old Town Ale House is a funky dive bar and historical hangout full of locals and comedians because of its location near Second City.

Near the front of the bar, you’ll find the “Curiosity Shop” that features a large bulletin board of various notices. Less famous regulars who have passed can be found honored on the northwest corner’s “Dead Wall,” which is kitty corner from “Crazy Bitch Wall,” above the pinball machine. A disturbingly large head of papier-mâché, found on the back wall and originally from a defunct establishment called Figaro’s, rounds out the décor. I’ve found it difficult to recall details of Old Town Ale House visits as, mysteriously, my memories seem a bit clouded the next day. However, what I can remember is that the Old Town Ale House has a lively yet relaxed atmosphere that is quite difficult to find in this part of town.

The waitstaff is friendly and they’re pros at dealing with large crowds, private events, and customers just grabbing a drink on the patio. Kick back with a plate of pasta with a glass of red and people watch. This historic restaurant was one of filming locations for Batman Begins, and it gives off a bit of a gangster vibe. While they are broiled — not smoked — the pork is tender and the zesty sauce has built quite a loyalty. The bar also sports one of the better beer lists for the area.

One of Chicago’s oldest sushi spots (it opened in 1967) has found life at their new location. While other sushi spots may be more inventive with ingredients, Kamehachi has become a party restaurant for older customers. There’s karaoke and other themed nights to cater to more of the Old Town’s nightlife. While a younger crowd fills this Element Collective space on weekend nights with music pulsing and a make-shift dance floor emerging, Old Town Social has one of the best beer and cocktail lists in the neighborhood. The charcuterie is made in the kitchen, and the burger (get it with an egg) is a force.

“My boss drove down to the City Clerk (office) and got a copy that they said we could post and be legal,” said Tim Polk, bartender and manager of 20 or so years. The bar obtained a retail food license from the city, which allowed it to sell the pizza. In true pub-style, The Old Town Ale House puts down daily specials on a chalkboard, which include the day’s drinks and food. There is also a celebrity wall, where Elliot has painted portraits of the famous and not-so-famous stars that used to come in, including  Stephen Colbert, Bill Murray, John Belushi, and Dan Aykroyd to name a few. The Old Ale Town House was established in 1958 by entrepreneur E.J. Vangelder’s idea for the pub came from his visits to San Francisco, where he often visited the Vesuvios saloon on North Beach.

After taking over the bar, Tobin started sprucing the bar up and decided to extend the famous Ale House wall mural which was painted in 1971 by Maureen Munson. The mural contains the portraits of fifty or sixty old-time customers. With the help of Elliot’s talents, soon enough, every corner of the bar was covered in pictures of a present or former regular.

This space was once the tasting room for The House of Glunz, the historic wine store located next door. It’s a neighborhood wine bar with rare spirits and a Bavarian-inspired menu that’s runs laps around the boring sports bar fare offered at most of the other restaurants on Wells. The Bavarian food is tasty, but the burger is a guilty pleasure.

A newcomer to the area, Forastero is a fast-casual spot along North Avenue that mixes Mexican food with Korean flavors. The chef-owner worked at Jane’s in Bucktown, and the BYO spot features tacos, rice dishes, and spicy “Kung Fu Wings” with habanero and apricot. "I met Chase Utley, Moose Johnston came in one night," Doyle recalled. "When I first started working here, I didn't know how long I'd be here. Then I got the job as a doorman, eventually, I became a bartender," Doyle said. SoNo Wood Fired is a casual Italian restaurant and pizza restaurant that’s always reliable. Two Lights is a seafood-focused restaurant in Old Town that's good for drinks and a light bite.

THE OLD TOWN ALE HOUSE IS PLANNING ON REOPENING TONIGHT!!!! ” wrote artist and self-described mascot-in-residence Bruce Elliott publicly on his personal Facebook page Wednesday morning. Elliott painted the infamous political wall art behind the bar. The series debuted with a naked Sarah Palin holding an assault rifle, progressed to a portrait of Mitt Romney wearing what the artist calls “Magic Mormon Underwear,” as well as a work titled “Cavity Search” featuring convicted former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich.

Vangelder was good at building bars and hiring bartenders but wasn’t one for customer relations - due to which he sold the pub to Joe Diaz. Diaz’s ownership immediately ran the bar into the ground, and he sold it in 1970 to Art Klug and his group of Rush Street eccentrics. “The Old Town Ale House is as close to the Old Town of the ’60s and ‘70s that you are going to find, making it a neighborhood landmark, classic Chicago joint, and generally a pub that you’ll not want to miss,” said Sean Parnell from the Chicago Bar Project. When you step into The Old Town Ale House, the first thing you notice are the paintings that fill about every inch of every wall, made by the part-time owner and blogger Bruce Elliot.

Chicago is home to many pubs, but one that has left a mark on many is the historic Old Town Ale House. Old Town Ale House has attracted many, from blue-collar men, college kids, and even the more affluent crowd. Everyone wants a pint at the Old Town Ale House, and the pub has something for everyone. This affordable Middle Eastern spot has been serving shawarma far before Tony Stark had ever heard of the meaty dish. The falafels are crispy, and there’s a nice selection of salads, wraps, and entrees. The hummus with chicken shawarma — add some hot sauce — is a winner.

“My latest one is Trump in a straight jacket with naked Melania and Ivanka,” he said. Bars and restaurants in the city are still required to restrict capacity to 25% and maintain 6 feet of social distancing. Now, the bar is in the hands of Bruce Elliot and his wife Tobin and is like a second home to many locals. If you’re in this neck of the woods, then you definitely cannot miss out on a pint at the Old Town Ale House.

In fact, The Old Town Ale House has seen a shift in ownership over the years, before finally finding its place in Elliot’s hands. Old Town is home to one of four Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams, the chain with a cult following out of Ohio. Jeni Britton Bauer is a Beard Award winner, and her creative ice cream flavors are served in fresh waffle cones. “The Old Town Ale House is as close to the Old Town of the 60’s and 70’s that you are going to find, making it a neighborhood landmark, classic Chicago joint and generally a pub that you’ll not want to miss”. Open since 1958, the Ale House has had plenty of time to develop into the best dive bar in Chicago. He's also witnessed some of the greatest moments in Philadelphia sports history and served customers as they celebrated the Sixers NBA Championship, the Flyers Stanley Cup, the Eagles Super Bowl and the Phillies World Series victories.

Add to that its late-night operation, and you’ve got a much more entertaining alternative for late-night Old Town than Burton Place or Amp Rock Lounge, even with its anti-trendiness and one-time atmosphere that smelled “a lot like death” according to one Yelp reviewer. For more information on the Old Town Ale House, they don’t have a website so you’ll have to give them a call or, better yet, head over there for an ale and you might even have your portrait painted. For more information, check out the Old Town Ale House website and, next time you’re there, be sure to raise up your glass to the Klugs. Despite the window dressing, regulars will be happy to note that nothing has been remodeled inside. The same battered wooden bar, matching the floor except for the tiled area up front, runs the length of the western wall below a tin ceiling of indistinguishable color. In his Cezanne-like French Impressionistic style, fellow regular Bruce Elliott is responsible for this artwork—over 125 portraits in all—the rest of which can be found hanging throughout the room.

Once the painting took over the internet, Elliot was interviewed by major TV networks and over a hundred radio stations. That’s where the idea of ‘political porn paintings’ came to Elliot, and many now adorn the wall above the bar. For more than 30 years, this Old Town landmark has graced Wells and served Italian-American cuisine.

The art all over the walls includes pictures of Vladimir Putin as a ballerina and Kim Jong Un and Dennis Rodman together. It’s the total opposite of everything else you’ll find near it on Wells St., which makes Old Town Ale House the perfect escape for a low-key couple of drinks. Old Town Ale House, the historic dive bar that the late film critic Roger Ebert once called “the best bar in the world that I know about,” quietly reopened Wednesday night on the North Side of Chicago.

Old Town Ale House is one of the most-unique bars in Chicago, keeping a part of the city’s history alive until at least 4 a.m. The spots evokes Chicago greats like Roger Ebert and Mike Royko. Several famous performers from Second City have tipped a few back at this dive. The artwork is quirky and obscene, the characters sitting the barstools have stories, and the bar attracts drinkers from all over the city.

Victorian architecture, Second City comedy, and brick alleyways are some of the traits of Old Town, one of Chicago’s most-affluent North Side neighborhoods. Wells Street tends to get packed during fall weekends, with college football fans, shoppers, and tourists crowding the neighborhood’s main drag. There’s plenty to eat and drink in one of Chicago’s most-historic neighborhoods. Here are 15 best bets for food and drink, listed from west to east. The beloved McGillin's bartender is credited with being a matchmaker, saving marriages and pouring countless drinks while working at Philadelphia's oldest continually operating tavern.

If you’re looking for something off-the-menu, then feel free to ask Tim for one of his ‘signature secret creations’. Over the years, the Ale House saw many partners come in and go, but Art Klug always remained. Eventually, Art’s ex-wife Beatrice bought the remaining shares and the two took over. After the death of Art and Beatrice in 2005, Tobin Mitchell, Bruce’s wife, took over the bar, on one condition iterated by Beatrice - no blender, no credit cards.

Vangelder was good at building bars and hiring bartenders but wasn’t one for customer relations - due to which he sold the pub to Joe Diaz. Diaz’s ownership immediately ran the bar into the ground, and he sold it in 1970 to Art Klug and his group of Rush Street eccentrics. “The Old Town Ale House is as close to the Old Town of the ’60s and ‘70s that you are going to find, making it a neighborhood landmark, classic Chicago joint, and generally a pub that you’ll not want to miss,” said Sean Parnell from the Chicago Bar Project. When you step into The Old Town Ale House, the first thing you notice are the paintings that fill about every inch of every wall, made by the part-time owner and blogger Bruce Elliot.

SteakBar carries some of those traits (they serve a Fireball Old Fashioned for the refined bros), but inside a gorgeous multi-level space with huge windows on the second floor that overlook Wells Street. Brendan Sodikoff’s team developed the menu for the space, which is run by Four Corners Tavern Group. Doyle earned a "Best of Philly" award in 2010 when he was named the city's best bartender, and his wife, Laura Doyle, said all these years later she doesn't mind sharing him with the rest of the city. One of the most sought-after paintings at the pub is one of Sarah Palin naked, holding an assault rifle while standing on a polar bear rug with harlot red high heels on. Elliot painted the piece right after the Republican Convention in which Sarah Palin was made the Vice Presidential nominee. The painting was first put up as a joke, but in less than 24 hours it went viral on the internet.

In the heart of downtown Grand Rapids, KCAD students’ educational experiences are more hands-on than those typically found in creative degree programs within larger universities. KCAD’s faculty includes accomplished artists, designers, and scholars who become mentors and role models, leveraging their deep professional experience to help each student make the most of their education. Summer Youth Camps at Otis College invite young creatives aged 5-14 years to explore art and expression through exciting programs at one of the nation’s top art and design colleges. Our weeklong day camps offer fun opportunities for young artists to discover a variety of mediums.

Focused on the future

Our visionary approach is based on the College’s conservatory-like approach to teaching and learning; a desire for rich, intercultural and transdisciplinary dialogue; and a mandate to provide students innovative learning and making spaces. Each student in the photography program has a different area of concentration, providing a variety of perspectives for exhibits. Another student, Teresa Jackson, candidly photographs Black men and young boys to combat stereotyping. The Arts Month events are, to Jackson, a way the school advocates for students while helping them get their work in front of key stakeholders. “I think…art is a really important part of our community and our wellbeing overall… Research shows that…[whether] you’re a consumer of art or you’re an artist, there’s the opportunity to have a positive impact,” she says.

A 21st century education

More junior students generally focus on behind the scenes work, while those further along in their studies take center stage. When speaking to the students, it becomes clear that, while their projects come directly from their coursework, the Arts Month events are more than just another assignment. Design Week and the Hilton Anatole exhibit are just the latest examples of how the school helps students turn their passion into a profession, if they so choose. Creative individuals are uniquely positioned to make a difference by offering innovative perspectives and solutions to real-world issues. At ArtCenter College of Design, we believe a comprehensive art and design education is the foundation for success. Traditionally, we celebrate the achievements of our graduating students through on-campus exhibitions each spring.

For Maria Dolores Uribe and Laura Abe Vettoretti (founders of UNNO ​​Gallery ), the objective of Origin was to combine the work of several artists from different places in Latin America. They all took on their own interpretation of the concept of the beginning of “origin” in a different and personal way. Thus, the idea materialized through a series of very distinct and individual design pieces loaded with tradition and cultural content. The result is a simple but striking scenography, which turns the collection pieces into true works of art. “The objects that float in this limbo have no meaning or function.

This is just the latest chapter in the long uphill battle Drake has faced since 2010 to keep his dairy farm in the Inland Empire afloat. Drake cares for about 200 dairy cows a day through his livestock veterinarian practice, and over the years he has poured tens of thousands of dollars from his job into making what he claims is the best goat cheese in the country. “They took one of my favorite goats that I would never sell for even $12,000,” he sobbed over the phone. Drake suspects that one goat who was suffering from pregnancy toxemia is long dead because she didn’t receive the medicine she needed the next morning. The frets had corroded, and the neck joint had loosened so much that the guitar could not be played safely, according to the auction house.

Naturally, his first getaway is a trip to the grocery store with Jay (Utkarsh Ambudkar), who immediately loses him due to the fact that he can’t actually see any of the ghosts. But what are you supposed to do if you discover the home you’re living in is already haunted? I spoke with several psychics and experts in this field to identify the signs of a potentially haunted house and what to do next. If so, you will love Boldt Castle on its heart-shaped island in St. Lawrence Seaway’s 1,000 Islands.

To maintain a high level of quality and provide an immersive experience for visitors, it is crucial to invest in hiring experienced and skilled actors and staff members. The Ghost House business heavily relies on the actors and staff to create an entertaining and memorable experience for its visitors. Therefore, it is recommended that business owners allocate a significant budget for hiring actors and staff. Marketing and advertising expenses are crucial for promoting any business, including a Ghost House venture. The expenses may vary depending on the type and extent of advertising one plans to do.

Moreover, an online reservation system can help businesses manage capacity and avoid overbooking. To find the best property for your Ghost House business, it's important to do your research and consider all the factors involved in choosing a location. This can be a significant expense, but a well-chosen property can help ensure the success of your business and attract lots of visitors. Leasing a space instead of purchasing a property can be a less expensive option, but this also depends on the location and size of the building. According to recent statistics, the average monthly rent for commercial space in the United States is roughly $24 per square foot.

The carbon monoxide theory explains why haunted houses are mostly older houses which are more likely to contain aging and defective appliances, and why more hauntings are reported in the colder months. The carbon monoxide theory also explains why some ghosts don't show up on photographs or videos (photographs that do show "ghosts" are usually caused by dust, insects, fingers or camera strap in front of the lens, and multiple exposures). At one of the most haunted houses in America, the bad energy allegedly stems from a botched appendectomy—the six-year-old girl who haunts the house died during a desperate procedure without anesthesia at the turn of the century.

And he’s realizing he can tap into the agriculture tourism industry dollars by offering more educational tours of the farm. He was only 13 years old when he registered his first goat with the American Dairy Goat Assn. — and he was immediately hooked. “Understand I’m like a cat lady, that’s me, but I have goats,” said Drake, who knows almost every single one of his 500 goats by name. “He’ll tell you he’s addicted to [goats],” said Kim, who works as a nurse practitioner when she isn’t caring for their three children. “That’s [Drake’s] calling, I got sucked into it.” Kim Drake estimates that her husband works around 120 hours a week managing two businesses at once.

At 70,000 square feet, this home has a lot of floor space for ghosts to ramble (its ballroom can hold 1,000 people). Although the house is abandoned, it’s in fairly intact shape, despite peeling paint, thanks to a caretaker and guard dogs. So who haunts this ‘last American Versailles’ which once held literal furniture from the Parisian palace? Apparently, tycoon Peter A. B. Widener, who built it, and his son and grandson, who sank with the famous ship.

In these abodes, they believe spirits, ghosts or supernatural entities still linger within the walls.

Unpleasant hallucinations are known in the recreational drug community as a "bad trip". Drug users are usually, but not always, aware that they are experiencing hallucinations related to the drug, at least after they become sober again. Toxic mould, which can produce hallucinogens, has also been linked to haunted houses. The waiters at this inn won't be the only ones dressed up in Civil War-era clothes—keep an eye out for long-dead Confederate soldiers clad in similar outfits. During the Battle of Gettysburg, many of the South's soldiers died while hiding in this home, which explains the one-hundred-plus bullet pocks in the brick walls. After the fighting in the area was over, the house became a hospital for soldiers.

Evil Dead is, of course, Raimi’s horror franchise going back to 1981’s same-name film starring Bruce Campbell as Ash Williams, a combatant of various supernatural entities. That pic grew into a trilogy, also spurring the creation of Starz’s Ash vs. Evil Dead and a number of other projects. The most recent, standalone film Evil Dead Rise from writer-director Lee Cronin, grossed more than $147M worldwide last year when it hit theaters via Warner Bros, after launching at SXSW. The project is described only as an original story that Galluppi developed and brought to Raimi and team.

From acquiring a space to hiring actors and IT systems, the costs to launch a successful ghost house can add up quickly. According to recent statistics, the average startup cost for a gift shop is between $50,000 to $100,000. This cost includes the purchase of inventory, rent, employee wages, and other related expenses. However, the exact cost for the inventory will vary depending on the type and quantity of products that the business plans to sell. While the costs to start a ghost house can seem overwhelming, before you begin, you must consider the potential revenue that a successful ghost house could bring in. Furthermore, initial expenses may differ according to your location and the size of your operation.

Marketing and advertising will be essential to get the word out about your new ghost house. You may need to budget for professional marketing services such as website design and social media management to draw in crowds. Additionally, you may need to invest in paid advertising to get the necessary exposure. Located in Tustin, California, a relatively sleepy town not far from Disneyland, The 17th Door is situated in one of those outdoor malls common in suburbia — a Best Buy, an Old Navy, a Christian bookstore, etc.

But the crafty robbers somehow knew that the dogs couldn’t reach the part of the farmstead where they were breaking in. The thieves came in the middle of the night with wire cutters, snipping through the fence and trampling through a brush of stinging nettle. A pen of goats, some of them pregnant and others that had just given birth. Winners also get their choice of a Ghost Tour experience in Salem or a True Crime experience in Boston.

“I’m proud of how clean the guitar was and in immaculate condition and left my shop in even better shape. He played the guitar, songs by the Beatles like “Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)” and “You’ve Got to Hide Your Love Away.” That’s when the enormity of the process hit him. Of all the work Schuermann did on the guitar — including steam and heat treatment of the bridge and adding a removable shim for stability — the neck reset was the biggest undertaking. The family contacted Julien’s Auction House, which confirmed the guitar’s legitimacy with the help of Beatles expert Andy Babiuk.

According to Kim Drake, people who visit the farm leave feeling more deeply connected with nature as the source of their food. Drake said he’s faced many tough times in the business when the rational thing to do would have been to shut it down. The Drakes try to make up the rest by selling cheese at farmers markets and their farm, where they also offer goat petting, tours with cheese tastings. Drake also makes money selling genetically superior male goats to other dairy farms.

A convinced skeptic wrote ‘People from the Other World,’ a book about the 400 beings witnessed there during séances. This house is the site of a grim murder where in 1974 a son killed his parents and four siblings by gun. These events—including the chilling utterance of the words ‘get out’—were immortalized in the book and movie franchise, The Amityville Horror. The home with its distinctive quarter-moon windows (since replaced) in the attic has long been said to be haunted, including by a pig with red glowing eyes who would stare into the windows. In the tapestry of American folklore, certain homes have become famous for the tales of the restless spirits within their walls, and each has a spine-chilling story to tell. When purchasing inventory for the gift shop, it's important to work with a reliable and reputable supplier.

Other male goats are sold as pets or in some cases for families to eat, but he doesn’t butcher any of the animals himself. Drake’s business is one of 42 remaining goat farms authorized by the California Department of Food and Agriculture to produce dairy products, and the theft last week has put it into an even more financially precarious state. Nor have the goats turned up at any of the local dairies or at a slaughterhouse, said Det. Michael Williams, who’s been investigating this suspected case of grand larceny. Some people have sent pictures of goats wandering in their neighborhood, thinking they’ve found the stolen animals.

The cost and features of these systems will depend on the requirements of the business. Online ticket sales and reservation systems are essential for any modern business, especially one in the entertainment industry. Implementing an online system can streamline the ticketing process and increase efficiency, ultimately resulting in higher profits. According to recent statistics, the cost of implementing such systems varies depending on the size of the business, but on average, it can cost anywhere from $1,000 to $10,000.
