However, the non-creative aren't necessarily dismissed; just don't advertise your lack of abilities in these areas, and you should be able to pass muster. The bar is comfortably set with booths and tables, and you'll hear a variety of music styles, including punk, rock, alternative, and jazz.

The crowd that gathers is quite diverse, and business folks typically rub elbows with punkers. However, all are here for the same thing: cheap drinks. It's no wonder hangovers are the bar's self-proclaimed passion! Tuman's also has a kitchen that serves traditional bar food soups, salads, pastas, and sandwiches.

773-643-5516 | | | | | Description: SOUTH SIDE. This classic bar has been around since before many of its loyal patrons were even born. It's unofficially known as "Jimmy's" rather than Woodlawn Tap in honor of a beloved bartender who worked the bar until well into his retirement. The walls are awash in a mix of old and new banners and signs, giving testament to this area bar's longevity. Local college students head here to refresh after grueling exams. They order a beer or two and a hamburger on the cheap.

312-222-1525 | | | | | Description: MAGNIFICENT MILE. This tavern boasts quite an interesting history. It was made popular by a "Saturday Night Live" sketch in which short-order cooks yell "cheezborger." Even before the humorous SNL bit, however, the place had quite a reputation. The original owner, William Sianis, apparently cursed the Cubs' owners because of their refusal to allow his billy goat into the stands. So far, the curse has stood strong the Cubs haven't won a championship since. Despite its fame, the bar is pretty basic in nature, focusing on good beer and, what else, cheeseburgers!
