Historic Bars of Chicago
A guide and historical journey . . . a handy book [that] gets you out of the house. . . . Great for those who want to use taverns as a means to exploring the city. [Parnell] is a fine writer with a real sense of history. A fine, fine book. --Rick Kogan,Chicago Tribuneand WGN radioVery accurate. Right on the money. --"Chicago Tonight," WTTW-TVOne look at [Parnell's] book, which overflows with adoration for Chicago s taverns and the implausible legends that haunt them, and I knew I had never been anything more than a nightlife dilettante. . . . But it wasn't until Parnell quizzed me on bar trivia that I grasped the truth: I d never known bars or loved them quite the way he does. --Chicagomagazine
