American Legion Tattler Post 973, located in Chicago's North Center neighborhood, has been a community fixture since shortly after its 1946 chartering. The bar area retains much of its original 1950s-70s charm, complemented by modern touches like an electronic point-of-sale system that still uses vintage cash register drawers with their distinctive bell.
The facility includes a bar, event area, kitchen, and restrooms. Barn doors can separate the front and back spaces, though they are usually left open for a spacious flow. Security cameras cover the bar area and main hall.
Easily accessible via public transportation, Tattler Post 973 blends historic character with modern amenities, making it ideal for various events and gatherings.
