The
Unforgettable Lounge has been a fixture in the Old Irving Park
neighborhood for over 60 years. In it's early days
it was a late night lounge, with a stage in the back and live
entertainment nightly.
In the late 70's Joe E. took it over
and made it more of a neighborhood establishment, sponsoring softball
teams and pool leagues and becoming a favorite watering hole
for the "regulars" in
the neighborhood.
Today, Joe E's Unforgettable Lounge is
run by Joe E. Jr and is still the late night hot spot of the
Old Irving Park neighborhood.
