1914 a speakeasy Inside Red Ivy 3525 N Clark 773 472 9700 Built in 1914 as a private affairs room for the prestigious Travelers Club the room quickly took off and gained popularity, maybe too much popularity. As Prohibition set upon the country, certain nefarious characters set upon the Travelers Club and realized that the private affairs room would make quite the speakeasy. The owner, an upstanding businessman named Charles Churchill, was being pressured into allowing the questionable activities take place. When he resisted, they found his body in the room riddled with bullets. No charges were ever brought. The Authorities shut down the Travelers Club, or so they thought. Now whether it was through corruption or just plain sneakiness, Chicago's North Side Boss, J. Boyle, decided the Travelers Club Private Affairs Room would be his Crown Jewel and provide the services that an alcohol starved city craved. Known only at 1914, the crowds began to revel in its grandeur, however, some say they can still feel a cold presence 4 years after the murder of Mr. Churchill. The Ladies in Hospitality enjoyed the ambiance of the room and were delighted at the customer service they gave.
