I don't have an answer regarding the Long Branch Tavern, but it is an interesting name; and I wonder if all Chicago taverns/saloons now, and in the past, have/had a required specific name documented for city tax, etc. My great uncle was the owner of a Chicago saloon in 1918, and I know the address but would like to know the saloon's name, if it can be found somewhere in an old document.

[b]I don't remember any food there but it was on the west side of the street. Address was about 4020 S Western ave.. It was called the long branch because a branch of trhe river came on the north side of it and flowed to Campell. I remember a picture above the bar of that river.The branch of the river came all the way from Ashalnd ave and crossed Western at 40th st. many years ago.[/b]

Richard, Was the picture above the bar a painting of the river? Sounds interesting, I would have liked to have seen it.
