Built in 1912, the Lighthouse Inn was originally a small inn to enjoy drinks, dinner and maybe rent one of the cabins that used to sit behind the restaurant. During prohibition it became a common stop for Chicago land mobsters looking to “beat the heat” until things cooled off back home in the Windy City. Yes, Al Capone dined here. As did John Dillenger. If you’re sitting in the booth to the left of the lounge entrance, that’s exactly where Dillinger’s gun went off and left a hole in the wall. Even though it is no longer there, it is still a part of our history.
Circa-1912 supper club serving traditional American entrees in an old-fashioned atmosphere.
