Basking in the laid-back attitude of its Wrigleyville surroundings, Guthries is a model neighborhood bar, the kind of place you might expect to find Norman Rockwell kicking back after a hard day in the studio. This establishment takes pride in doing the little things well: free pretzels and mustard dip, a friendly wait staff, and a cozy, accommodating atmosphere. Ambiance aside, there is really only one reason why Guthries is a legend in Lakeview: board games. From Monopoly to Chutes and Ladders, Guthries offers free board games for every taste and level of sobriety. The games provide a welcome distraction from the cold, cruel world outside the bar. Get there early, however, as Guthries fills quickly on the weekends and table seating is limited. Plus, the early bird gets the games with all (or most) of their original pieces still intact. -- Dave Ihlenfeld
