Making its debut in 2006, this museum is dedicated to the history of the Chicago River and the city‚'s movable bridges. The museum is located in the southwest tower of the Michigan Avenue Bridge.
Built in 1916, the space has housed a grocery, a steak restaurant, and a speakeasy/brothel. These days the Tavern does bustling business with sports fans who enjoy the 50 TV screens and good pub grub.
Onion rings, wings, fries, milkshakes, and blue plate specials are available, but the star items remain the messy, fresh-beef, oddly named burgers. Tuby’s Tickler, anyone?
