The Prohibition-era history alone would be worth the visit: the building was secretly brewing beer behind a soda-pop front before Al Capone and his lieutenant Joe Saltis took it over outright. Today it runs as a working craft distillery — the award-winning 'Dead Drop' spirits line — with a cocktail bar inside the historic malting tower, and WBEZ gave the building its own dedicated history feature.
Wine Enthusiast just named it one of the 'Top 7 Haunted Distilleries in America,' which, combined with the real documented history here, makes this one of the most genuinely distinctive stops in this entire database.
