FitzGerald's. 6615 W. Roosevelt Rd. Tel: 708788-2118 [built in the 1920's 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 50's and 60's, 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.
