From Barney’s Market Club, with Regretfully Limited Transparency
In a town where everyone’s a “Senator” and the steak’s rarer than the truth, Barney’s Market Club stood as Chicago’s most convivial meat locker of political mischief. Our “Yes, Sir, Senator” T-Shirt pays homage to that glorious epoch of prime rib and plausible deniability—with just enough vintage swagger to pass as respectability.
The front says “Yes, Sir, Senator.” The back? The address of Barney’s Market Club, where the lighting was low, the cigars were high-end, and the memories were best left unconfirmed.
