Clark Street Ale House takes pride in it's over 42 microbrews. They do beer in a serious kind of way with everything from local brews Goose Island and Three Floyds to Midwestern favorites like a cask-conditioned Two Hearted Ale from Bell's brewery. If you're confused by the bevy of choices, sample a flight of small pours from the tap for three bucks. Beer is served in proper glassware, from tulips and goblets for Belgian-style ales to pint glasses for light, bubbly lagers. There are over 40 scotches, and many bourbons, cognacs, and tequilas from which to choose. This is done in a warm, and friendly environment. The ale house gives an old fashion European feel right in the neighborhood.
Clark Street Ale House is a good place to go after dinner for some cold beers with friends. It has a very warm, enticing atmosphere that is much missed in this world of chain bars and restaurants. They have a nice selection of beers on tap and the bar tender was great! They do not have parking which was a big problem for me. I hate to spend as much on parking as I do on my drinks and you better be ready for that if you drive here.

Clark Street Ale house is a welcome respite from the general river north / gold cost douchebaggery. It is a no frills bar with an amazing beer selection, cozy tables, and a good low key place to hang with friends.
There is also a good chance you'll see some dogs mulling around, as they allow pets!
I love this bar, and you should too.
Pros: Great Bar, Great Beer Selection, Allow Pets!
