What the community has to say about Gold Star Bar

Information about this business (1)

This is a shot and a beer bar. Local art hangs on the wall, but make no mistake, this is a dive bar. But that's exactly what makes it a secret hangout for all of the Wicker Park artist-types who want to keep it to themselves. So far, the artists have been doing a pretty good job of it. Old Style in a bottle is the standard drink of the bar.

What's the draw of this Prohibition-era room with stools in front, pool in back? Must be its consistency because it's changed not at all in 15 years or more. Not quite a total dive but nowhere near a respectable establishment, Gold Star carries a certain element of drunken danger in the air at all times. Don't dally in the bathroom or someone may just kick its rickety, graffiti'd door in on you.

Division Street watering hole with proletarian appeal to spare.
