With the oldest continuous beer license on Chicago's north side, nondescript Durkin's is a long-time favorite among Lincoln Park residents. Regulars line the bar daily, and beer-swilling crowds can be guaranteed every weekend. Fortunately, the pub is larger than it looks, extending far back from Diversey and offering darts and pinball. The walls are jammed with old photos and Irish memorabilia, and the full-size old-fashioned phone booth actually works. Dogs are welcome, too.

Dirty, dank, smelly--just general unappealing. This place is somewhere beyond a dive bar and more like haning out in a frat house basement. It ...
