Chicago, Illinois
Andersonville's game-filled tavern with pool, darts, and trivia.
Meeting House Tavern is Andersonville's community-minded gay bar, opened in 2018 by 2Bears Tavern Group owners Mark Robertson and Mike Sullivan, who chose the neighborhood for its long-standing queer roots. The draw here is play: free pub games fill the room, from pool and darts to Skee-Ball and shuffleboard, alongside communal tables stacked with board games. There's no cover and no dress code. The vibe is low-key and social rather than club-loud, built for actually meeting people over a drink instead of shouting over a DJ. Weekly programming keeps regulars coming back, with trivia, karaoke, and rotating themed nights through the week. If you're starting a night in Andersonville and want somewhere relaxed before the Clark Street crawl, this is the easy first stop.
