Moody's Pub

Moody's Pub originally opened in Old Town in 1959, but moved to Larrabee Street when the rents began escalating.  A fire destroyed its next incarnation, so in 1969 owner John Kahoun moved the operation to its current location in Edgewater.  By all accounts, it has changed very little since it first opened.  It's a bit dar and dank, and looks like something of a dive bar, but the locals sure don't seem to mind.  Food-wise, they flock for the hamburgers, sloppy joes, french fries, and onion rings.  And, of course, the pitchers of beer and sangria are essential.  In the winter, the scattered fireplaces keep the patrons nice and toasty.  In the summer, the customers prefer to sit outside in the expansive beer garden, where speckles of afternoon sunlight pass through the tangled branches of the maple trees interspersed about the patio.  (Common warning:  Sodas are served in ten ounce glasses stuffed with ice, and free refills are not offered.)
