Steve Dahl and Garry Meier had their producer Brendan talking to them about a visit to one of Chicago's most pretensions bars this being the Charleston. Brendan told Meier and dahl how much of a fool he felt for being in this place and being the only being in a cubs or sports wear hat and obviously young Brendan knew little of the snob hob reputation of this bar in the Bucktown region of Chicago. This snob bar encourages people to dress and act of the Sinatra era and a Wrigleyville Cub fan is not welcomed whether it is 1945 or 2016 in October. This is not the scene is all about for the Charleston and an ever increasing number of other so bars in this city. This house bar for a century was a blue collar neighborhood tavern
The Charleston bar is a cultural neighborhood landmark for what type of thing Bucktown has become and Dahl and Meier realize in the number of years of doing radio and going to bars that the economy and white collar high income professionals have drastically changed many formerly hip bars and just basically turned them into weird and neurotic establishments where sports and sports gear wear is disdained and frowned upon by these clowns running these drinking establishments catering only to a certain crowd, This is why I love working at the Itasca Inn as it is welcoming to all and only gang bang and ghetto wear would ever be looked upon with puzzlement and alarm.
