CHEZ PAREE, Chicago IL

 





 

The bar, obviously.

Opened in 1932, and quite popular with the Mob at the time. Everyone played there. Everyone. It had its vogue and closed in the sixties. In some old-folks homes in Chicago you might find a few who remember the place with a twinkle in their eye, and sigh from the memory. Unless they got bad clams one night, of course, in which case, eh. Good riddance.
