Don’t worry. The name has nothing to do with the current contents of the bar. Turns out the owner of Racine Plumbing, which opens tonight in Lakeview, is just paying homage to a former plumbing company that his family ran in Little Italy for over 90 years. So it’s really just a new sports bar with a heavy beer list and way more than one large TV. The menu features a fairly typical assortment of appetizers and burgers, plus a Grilled Charlie, which is a shout out for all of those It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia fans out there. Check out the full menu below.
