Shinnick's Pub
Shinnick's Pub is a great place and known as a friendly neighborhood spot. If you are lucky enough and the owner, Tom Shinnick is around you'll hear him tell all sorts of zany antics and he's sure a great story teller. It's a fantastic spot for White Sox fans to watch the game or drown their sorrows. It's a historical Bridgeport tavern and you're sure to have a good time when you step foot inside.
Shinnick's Pub has been in that same area since the 1880s. When you walk through the door your eyes naturally meet with the mahogany bar. They just don't make them like that anymore. The bar is actually made by Brunswick. The same company that makes the billiards tables. Interestin!
The Shinnicks have owned the bar since 1938 and it shows. They know the place like the back of their hand. They're quick with the drinks and they're great with the conversation. All in all its a bit hard to find but once you're there you'll be welcomed like you have lived in Bridgeport forever. What more could you ask for?
