FitzGerald's
6615 12th Street (map) (708) 788-2118
FitzGerald’s was built in the 1920s and has always
been a gathering spot, from the early days as a hunting club and watering
hole through its teen years as a jazz club during the ’50s and ’60s, featuring
acts like Bob Scobey, Turk Murphy, Lil Armstrong, and the Original Salty
Dogs. The FitzGerald family bought and renovated the building in 1980,
and since then its reputation for great music in a casual, comfortable,
unpretentious atmosphere has grown steadily. Chicago Magazine calls it
“a musical gem,” and the club has consistently found itself
in the top 5 in Chicago polls of favorite venues.
Over the years, we realized that there were a few things that we would
like to offer — an “away” room for customers to
meet and talk, and a separate space for gatherings and parties. Through
the years we acquired the buildings on either side of us, and in 2001
we took the plunge and began to restore them to their original 1920s’
glory, with the help of the Berwyn Development Corporation.
As a result, we can now offer a
classic tavern, and an elegant, intimate
private party room with onsite catering. . We are very proud of this
project, and hope that you’ll have a chance to visit and enjoy our new
spaces.
