🚪 The Original Speakeasy Circular Seal Graphic

🍻 A Century of Secrets at Huron and Orleans

Nestled at the corner of Huron and Orleans Streets in River North, The Green Door Tavern stands as Chicago’s oldest surviving drinking establishment. Built in 1872 by engineer James McCole immediately following the Great Chicago Fire, this iconic two-story structure is famous for its leaning wooden frame—the last of its kind allowed so close to the Loop. In 1921, Vito Giacomo transformed the building into a restaurant, while his sons ran a legendary basement speakeasy during Prohibition. Supplied by Al Capone’s rival, Dion O’Banion, the secret bar became known as the “Green Door” because a green-painted entrance signaled the presence of illegal spirits inside. Today, the legendary venue keeps that lawless history alive, maintaining its vintage interior and the secret basement speakeasy, now operating as The Drifter. This beloved landmark represents the resilient spirit of old Chicago, offering locals and travelers alike a genuine connection to the city’s gritty, gangster-era past.
