Butch McGuire’s Christmas celebrations

You might find a recommendation to visit a particular pub on Christmas a wee bit strange...why not some other pub?


But, this ain’t just some pub.


This is Butch McGuire’s, which used leftover Christmas decor from a Goldblatt’s to deck themselves for a Christmas party in 1960…

...and they’ve been doing it ever since!


And over the years, it’s expanded to include a double decker train that runs through the bar, among other things.


AND they donate a lot of the profits from the celeb to the Mercy Home for Boys and Girls.


Entry: Free.


Date: Check website


Time: Varies by date (see website for details).


Location: 20 W Division St, Chicago, IL 60610.
