Charleston

Tucked away on a quiet residential street in Bucktown, this comfy storefront pub has a laid-back vibe, with neighborhood folks that stop by for an after-work drink and take advantage of the extensive beer list. Abundant candlelight and dark-toned walls create a hushed vibe during the afternoon and early evenings, but on Friday and Saturday nights it can get quite packed with neighborhood folks, who come for the chatty bartenders and DJ spinning mellow tunes. Look for antique wooden bar up front and the stand-up photo booth in the back.
