About this place Little Jim's Tavern

Little Jim's opened in 1975 as the first gay bar on the North Halsted strip, now Northalsted (Boystown). It is a plain neighbourhood tavern with daily drink specials, a long bar and video screens, and it draws locals of all ages. It is known as a late-night stop, filling up after other bars close. The Addison Red Line station is a short walk away.
