First visit: Oct 1994 (Colorado Springs - Woodmen)
Perhaps the first place the RJG remembers going where beer was a primary focus. They were offering around the world beer "tours" going back to our first visit. This was a hangout for the RJG's peers and coworkers, and we were here often in 1994 and early '95 (and specifically this location). After moving to Denver, Old Chicago was quickly forgotten. It wasn't until 2011 and a road trip up through Nebraska did the restaurant once again enter our lexicon. We had noticed they had just opened in the Fort Worth area, just as we were leaving. Typical. But we're back here, and the RJG loves their Italian food - staples like baked spaghetti and meatballs - and yes they have of course kept up with the latest trends in craft beer. Unfortunately Mrs. RJG is the party pooper, claiming the place looks and smells old (well it is old...), and so she was nonplussed about the food. It appears we won't be able to go as often as preferred. Pity that. Maybe we'll try a newer location then. Need to sell that...
