Dive Bar Shirt Club: Friar Tuck


Just a few days after receiving my October shirt, my November shirt has arrived! And perhaps in tribute to everybody's favorite wrestler, this bar comes straight from Chicago! I wonder if I was there when I visited a couple of years ago. Anyway, here you go....


This 40-year-old neighborhood bar is literally a hole in the wall. It serves up a heaping helping of ye old atmosphere while celebrating the monk's holy-est water....beer. Dark walls are covered with photos of past patrons "tucked" behind Plexiglas doors. You'll discover decades of awesome bar going fashion like 70's bell-bottoms and beards and 80's mullets and mustaches. Beyond that you'll find a crackling fire and Friar Tuck himself raising his glass to the star of the show....a sheep. Many places have embarrassing birthday traditions and friends just love forcing them on you. You might say Friar Tuck holds the trophy for the best or most humiliating depending on your point of view. It's a very popular tradition to drink a birthday shot out of an inflatable sheep's butt while the whole bar sings happy birthday to you.
