The Best Pint In The City

There is a place called Celtic Crossings on Clark, just off of Chicago, that pours a mean pint of Guinness. They have the obvious "true" old Irish bar feel with the Bar tenders all from Ireland, and from what I can tell they are all named John, but why they are so great is their Guinness. They fly in Kegs weekly from Dublin and they know how to pour it right. Also they, like a true Irish bar, love to hang out and tell stories. Here there is no loud music or loud noises from a Golden Tee machine, there is just the sound of conversation and the occasional phone ringing. They do have though live Irish Music every once in awhile. So, if you are ever wanting to hang out and just talk with friends or hear stories and jokes from an old Irish man than this is the perfect place to get that and a great pint of Guinness

You should write for metromix, the red eye, or start your own city zagats.
