that’s entirely possible..I remember it being a small place with a few tables… I remember it being next to an alley. My Dad told me a story about a customer that took my Dad into that alley and threatened to shoot him.
my Dad owned a cocktail lounge/bar at 71st and Jeffrey, but no living family members can recall exactly where it was….it was somewhere at that intersection, and he owned it in the late 50’s/early 60’s….it was called “the Boulevard Room”….anyone with any info would be greatly appreciated.
do you have any info on “Isbell’s” .. closing? opening? I know the owner/founder was instrumental in the Ramada Inn chain… I see that marquee in many vintage pix of Rush St.
The date is posted as 1961, but two films on the marquee weren’t released until 1963

In the picture posted by Ken Mc, does anyone know what the establishment with the B/G sign at the SE corner of Rush and Oak was?
