Live and Play Chicago - Fall/Winter 2009

One of Chicago’s
oldest restaurants, Twin
Anchors Restaurant and
Tavern has been serving up
tender, barbequed baby-back ribs
as well as delicious steaks, seafood,
burgers, and salads for more than
75 years. This casual neighborhood
establishment was a favorite destina-
tion for Frank Sinatra, who sang
and entertained guests during his
impromptu visits while body-
guards blocked the payphones
to keep people from alert-
ing the media to his
location.
