Chicago bars on the big (and small) screen
Curious City teamed up with the Chicago Brewseum to talk about important bar scenes in movies and television — including several filmed in Chicago.
Have you ever noticed that some of the most pivotal scenes in TV shows and movies take place in a drinking establishment? Liz Garibay with the Chicago Brewseum came to Curious City with this idea. Part of the Brewseum’s mission is to show the role bars and taverns have played in the history of our country, city and pop culture.
Last month, we partnered with the Brewseum for a live event called “Suds on Screen” at the Goose Island Barrelhouse. Curious City Senior Producer Jason Marck was joined by Liz Garibay and journalist Mark Caro. They discussed how bars are used as storytelling tools in TV and movies to establish a sense of community, create an environment where tense situations play out and lay the foundation for romantic connections — among other things. They also discussed Chicago’s place on the big and small screen.
