Proud Sister bar to Butch McGuire's

For more than 60 years, Butch McGuire’s has been a Division Street landmark, credited as Chicago’s first singles bar and cherished as a place where couples meet, friendships form, and traditions carry on through generations. In October of 2025, the McGuire family expanded on that legacy with the opening of Mary Jo McGuire’s in Lincoln Park: a sister saloon named in honor of Butch's wife and longtime partner in the business.
