The Green Door Tavern Shirt – Chicago Dive Bar Tee

A Prohibition-Era Icon Still Pouring in Chicago

🎽 A Vintage Tee Rooted in Classic Bar Design

This Green Door Tavern Shirt channels early-20th-century tavern aesthetics through a circular badge layout and hand-drawn building illustration. The distressed typography, “Est. 1921” mark, and patriotic ribbon details give the design a timeworn authenticity. It feels less like modern merch and more like an old sign pulled straight from a Chicago street corner.

🍺 The Green Door Tavern: Chicago Since 1921

The Green Door Tavern opened in 1921 and stands as one of Chicago’s oldest continuously operating bars. Located on North Orleans Street, near the River North and Old Town areas, it is widely associated with Chicago’s Prohibition-era history. During the 1920s, the bar operated as a speakeasy, with its discreet green entrance becoming part of its identity.

What makes the Green Door Tavern distinctive is its ability to preserve that legacy while remaining relevant. The bar is known for its old-world interior, classic pub fare, and a reputation built on history rather than reinvention. Over the decades, it has earned recognition as a living piece of Chicago bar culture—frequently cited as a must-visit stop for those interested in the city’s drinking history. Its pride lies in longevity: few places in Chicago can credibly claim a century behind the bar.
