Misc. Information
If there was a bar in Chicago that would be Fuji's equivalent of Boston's fictional "Cheers" this would be. TJ is one of the owners is a good friend of Fuji's as well as several of the bartenders, it's a couple of blocks from Party Central and as a bonus it's a Big Ten bar! Metromix Review
Address
2858 N Halsted - Halsted & George just North and East of the Diversey (closed) Brown Line
Directions
Environmentally-Friendly Public Transit From Lincoln Park/Lakeview: Red Line to Belmont, hoof it three blocks South to George and two blocks East to Halsted or take Halsted 8 bus to the bar from wherever you’re at. From Wicker Park/Bucktown: Blue Line to Belmont, take the Belmont #77 bus East to Halsted, hoof it four blocks South to the bar.
Driving Hop into your hooptie and cruise to Halsted & George whist hastening the arrival of the day when farms around Chicago will abandon wheat, corn and soybeans in favor of date palms, pineapples and sugar cane. Of course the places that currently cultivate these crops will then be slightly cooler than the Equator of Mercury in the Summer. Best bet is to find a meter on Halsted that you don’t have to feed on Sundays or hit the side streets, just be aware they’re all Zone 383 so you have to move your car by 6pm.
Neighborhood
Lakeview technically, but a stone's throw from the Lincoln Park border
