\"The<\/a>

The Northern Lights are always on at Archie’s<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

It is never too early to celebrate the promise of spring, the start of supper club season.
\nPitchers of beer and catchers of Friday night fish fries report for duty.
\nArchie\u2019s Iowa & Rockwell Tavern, 2600 W. Iowa hosts \u201cThe Supper Club Book\u201d party and book signing from 5-8 p.m. Sunday, March 9, after Daylight Savings Time kicks in. I\u2019ll be signing along with the book\u2019s esteemed field photographer Paul Natkin.<\/p>\n

The Wisconsin-flavored Archie\u2019s is offering $5 Brandy Old Fashioneds and $3 Leinenkugel\u2019s—straight from the North Woods. Expect a traditional Wisconsin supper club relish tray along with Deborah Pup\u2019s famous open faced Polish sandwiches. Pup\u2019s father is patriarch Archie Boraca, who died in November.
\nI will be spinning sweet soul music along with cheesy supper club standards like The Irving Fields Trio\u2019s \u201cBagels and Bongos\u201d and Al Morgan\u2019s \u201cA Lifetime of Memories\u201d a two disc set recorded live at Barthel\u2019s Supper Club in Dolton, Ill. How about that Joe Bryl? (There’s more about Irving in the “Supper Club Music” category of this site.)<\/p>\n

\nArchie\u2019s has Chicago liquor license No. 177. It has been serving drinks at the corner of Iowa and Rockwell since 1943. Polka legend Lil\u2019 Wally and his band performed in the tavern in the late 1950\u2019s and in 1991 my pals and country hipsters the Sundowners played a gig at at the bar for Archie’s 60th birthday.
\nPup will be on hand as well as granddaughter-bar manager Katrina Arthur, the third generation who has worked at the bar.<\/p>\n

To heighten your supper club spirit, try a shot of the \u201cMagnificent Zubrowka\u201d behind the bar. This is a chilled shot ($4) of Polish vodka flavored with a blade of bison grass that floats in the bottle.The Zubrowka has a coconut aftertaste and Katrina recommends the vodka be mixed in a cocktail with apple juice, garnished with a wedge of lime and served on the rocks ($6).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
