Happy Hour: Remembering Joe Danno

By Chuck Sudo in Food on Apr 17, 2009 9:15PM

Before Adam Seger, Bridget Albert, John Kinder, Peter Vestinos, Lynn House and all the other great mixologists in town, there was Joe Danno, owner and proprietor of the Bucket O' Suds. That old bar became the stuff of legend. Like Disco Demolition, the Bears' Super Bowl XX victory parade, and viewing the body of Harold Washington lying in state in City Hall after his death, more people actually say they went to the Bucket O' Suds than actually visited.

We found some video of the Bucket's final night. Joe seems to be in good spirits as a major chapter of his life came to a close.
