Its legendary status has resulted in notable guests such as Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Anthony Bourdain, and frequent visitor Michael Shannon. Opened in 1961, the bar is now owned by Bruce Elliot, a lifelong regular who has decorated the interior with quirky original paintings. The vintage cash-only bar has just one TV and their famous jukebox plays an eclectic mix of jazz, blues, and classical music. Old Town Ale House is one of the neighborhood\u2019s most historic and timeless establishments.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner hide_bg_image_on_tablet=”” hide_bg_image_on_mobile=”” css=”.vc_custom_1558586833250{padding-top: 3% !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″ icons_position=”left”][vc_single_image image=”77347″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″ icons_position=”left”][vc_single_image image=”77346″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″ icons_position=”left”][vc_single_image image=”77348″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″ icons_position=”left”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_raw_html]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[\/vc_raw_html][vc_custom_heading text=”Check It Out” font_container=”tag:h4|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1558586884733{border-bottom-width: 1px !important;border-bottom-color: #0094c3 !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;}”][vc_column_text]Address:<\/strong>
