Native American Taverns In Uptown?
Posted by: ChiMike ()

Does anyone remember the two taverns that were located on Broadway between Montrose and Wilson Ave in Uptown called the War Bonnet and the Tee Pee Inn? There was a barber shop close by that my Father used to take me to to get my hair cut when I was little,and I can remember the tavern signs outside of each establishment one that had an Indian headress and the other a tee pee. I recall there always being trouble there with violent incidents. One time while shopping with my Mother along Broadway a bunch of police cars converged on the scene along with a Chicago fire ambulance that took a guy who was bleeding profusely away from the scene. The CTAs Wilson yards of the El line were directly behind these places.
