Chicago celebrities such as Mancow have been spotted at Whirlyball quite a few times. That may be a reason for some, like myself, not to go to Whirlyball. This DePaul Bar is not large enough or magnificent, but still it attracts large crowds. Hog Head's is mainly good for Monday night specials of ten cent hot wings. HHM also offers FREE parties to groups looking to celebrate on the premises.
Many patrons go to Hog Heads to watch sporting events or to check out local acts.
One of my favorites. The owner Colin Cordwell, is one of the nicest people known to man. Don't get him going on topics of history though, because he's a history buff. The Red Lion is supposed to be haunted, as legend has it. You can read about it in many local interest publications.
