    It's still open, and now they're serving fries!

    You might be joking, but they've actually served Pepsi for years.

    Really? Every time I've been in there (which is more often than I'd like to admit) they've never had Pepsi, just Coke products. But, they also say they don't take debit cards but they've always accepted mine, so I could believe that.

    Fuck. You're right.

    The old SNL skit was, "no Coke, Pepsi."

    They were famous for serving Pepsi.

    But they've served Coke for years.

    It was Mike Royko's favorite bar and he frequently referred to it in columns.

    According to the Tweeter, Monica Eng, the fries are being served at the Navy Pier location, not the subterrainian Michigan Avenue original.

    Does tourist-laden Navy Pier even count as Chicago? I guess you can see the real Chicago from there ... ;)

    Ah. She hadn't replied to that question when I posted her tweet.

    That makes more sense. Apologies for jumping the gun.

    I sure could have used the Goat (for drinks) 2 Thursdays ago!
