Still Family Owned & Operated Since 1961

Butch McGuire opened the doors at 20 W Division Street on June 16, 1961. Sixty-five years later, we're still here — still family-run, still Chicago's original singles bar, and still the place where over 10,000 couples have met and fallen in love.

"It's more fun to eat in a bar than drink in a restaurant." — Butch McGuire

  • 20 W Division Since 1961

    Chicago's original singles bar. The place where over 10,000 couples met. The bar your parents probably lied about going to. Sixty-five years of great food, late nights, and people worth knowing.
