Bahahahaha and someone tried to say that Marquette girls aren't trolls.

The douche to non douche ration on the north side of the city is horrendous. The only non douche bar in Lakeview I can think of is L&L Tavern.

Other non douche bars
1. Handlebar: Vegetarian food and no TVs? Bro, I am outta here!!
2. The Local Option: so f*cking metal
3. Delilahs: Wesley Willis broke ash trays over his head here!
4. Twisted Spoke: Where's West town?
5. Quenchers: Cash only and crusty punks?!?
6. VFW Post 7975: No joke
7: Richards: People smoking inside - OH MY
8: The Rocking horse: Where?

I have lived in Chicagoland for almost 24 years, and I have only been to two of them. 

It's not that I am an excellent douche-bar detector; I discovered they also sell booze in the suburbs.
Have some patience, FFS.

You don't need to go to a douche bar, there are plenty of douches here to mack on you.

That statement, ironically, makes you as much of a tool as people at exclusively frequent those bars.

This list is basically saying if you are in your 20's and you like the Cubs, you're a douche.

They have every bar in Lakeview/wrigleyville listed.

To be fair however, I have been to some of those bars on a gameday, and they are pretty "bro-ish".

Then they nailed it on the head.

The bars themselves aren't the issue, per say. It is the clientele that is the problem. A lot of people on gameday are tourists or don't live in Chicago. However, on the weekends when d-bags and creeps come lurking, most of those people are residents.

The Chicago Bar Project list 1529 bars in the city limits; there is no reason to go to any of the 25 on this list.

Cody's Public House is my favorite, and least-douchey, bar of all time.

And there's nothing wrong with Guthrie's.

Or Toon's.

Reading your statement now, I can see how you meant it.  Initially I thought you were just bashing Chicago as in "bar is in Chicago, thus naturally it must be a douchey bar"

Yeah, I only go to bars where locals hangout.  Crowded popular bars more than a 10 minute drive are not my deal, Anymore....

Lived in the city for less than 12 months about 7 years ago... in the suburbs since.  Been to six that I'm aware of.  Seven if you want to count Barleycorn's location in Schaumburg (incidentally, only a douche would).

However, I wouldn't be surprised if there are four or five more places that I've been to but simply don't remember -- I was unfortunately with a bunch of douches & there were a lot of places we went that night -- that whole day from 11:00 a.m. on is a blur.
Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny.  Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.
