Mugs Bunny (CLOSED)

This bare-bones dive, in operation since 1978 on Hegewisch's main drag, takes the prize for Chicago's most irresponsibly named bar. The grinning cartoon rabbit hoisting a brew on the sign threatens to lure children into a lifetime of boozing, although owner Keith Essary says he's had no complaints. That said, this is a friendly place to sip $1 PBR pints or down $5 Vegas bombs (Crown Royal, schnapps, cranberry, and Red Bull) with factory workers and police officers. It's also home to one of the city's few shuffleboards.
