KennysWestsidePub

Born on March 17, 2013, Farmington Road's newest and most unique bar/restaurant. A cozy neighborhood pub offering casual dining, cocktails, and a wide selection of craft beers from lunchtime all the way to late night!

The building itself started as a blacksmith shop and horse stable in the early 1900's, added onto and converted to a tavern by the notorious Shelton Gang, local rivals of Al Capone. Ranked among the most haunted bars in Illinois, the site of the famous murder of mobster Bernie Shelton...gunned down by a rifleman from the cemetery above as he exited the tavern. Bernie and his brother Carl used the bar as headquarters for their illegal alcohol and gambling operation. Since the fall of the Shelton's, the building has changed hands many times over the years, adding a barbershop to the side of the building which was later absorbed as a side room of the tavern. After many years of wear, tear and neglect, we have finally restored this building to its former glory.
