![]() It was briefly interrupted in 2018, when The Gaslight Anthem got back together to play a few shows celebrating the 10-year anniversary of their retro rock album, “The ‘59 Sound,” a fan favorite.īut the break resumed until 2022, when the band felt they had something to say. The sound landed them a fiercely loyal fanbase from their beginnings in 2006 up until 2015, when the band embarked on a seven-year hiatus. If there is an intersection where Green Day, Social Distortion, and the Replacements’ various styles of melodic punk meets Springsteen, it is found in The Gaslight Anthem. “We’ve got the approval of the guy! What are you going to say? You can’t say anything!” It’s like ‘Now write this off,’” he says. “There’s a definitely a little wink in there,” Fallon tells The Associated Press about the song and his band’s long-held comparisons to the Boss, which once escalated to the point where he wrote to his fans, “My name isn’t Bruce.” “History Books,” the title track from the band’s first album in nine years, is big-hearted freeway rock, made ascendent by frontman Brian Fallon and Springsteen’s tremulous harmonies. Now they’ve released a song with the Boss. 44 photos Gaslight Club Steakhouse and American Restaurant Chicago Save Share Tips 19 Photos 44 6. Another good meal, at the Chicago Hilton O’Hare, and we will likely return in the Autumn, if my wife’s schedule holds.LOS ANGELES (AP) - For years, a common critique of the beloved New Jersey rock band The Gaslight Anthem was to label them “Bruce Springsteen” copycats. Oh, and I think that I called this restaurant “The GasLAMP Club,” in my Hilton O’Hare review. Gaslight is a neighborhood bar brought to you by Four Corners located at 2450 N Clark. Now, if they would only add a bit of “task lighting” over the tables. The dinner meeting was successful, and being seated in a quieter area was a real plus. Service was good, as usual, and the “costumes” of the waitstaff did not bother any of us. I was glad to see the wine list expanded a bit, though it is still short, and narrow – but it works. I ordered the Hartford Lands Edge Sonoma Pinot Noir, trying to split the difference with the Mains. Some day, we need to try the “From Our Grill,” as Gaslight is more of a “steakhouse,” and we should put them to the test. Both were good, and we have had both, over the years. ![]() Our Main Courses were: Grilled Tuna w/ grilled tomatoes, asparagus and a lemon-caper sauce - quite good Wiener Schnitzel, sautéed in butter and lemon w/ green beans almandine. Quite good, but awfully large! The Onion Soup needed more heft, but was good. I added the Onion Soup, while wife ordered a Caesar Salad w/ Gaslight’s signature Caesar dressing, tossed with Romaine lettuce, Parmesan cheese and croutons.

Though now part of Chicago’s vibrant history, the legend lives on at the last surviving Gaslight Club (not to be confused with Gaslight Corner ), located on the lobby level of the Hilton Hotel at O’Hare International Airport (across from Terminal 3). Obviously, as squid are not indigenous to Lake Michigan, these are frozen, but Gaslight manages to elevate this dish. We did the Fried Calamari - “lightly breaded and deep fried, w/ Gaslight’s signature marinara sauce,” which has always been good for us. ![]() It was good, but could have benefitted from much better stemware. Not so much because I feel that Picard is a better producer/négociant, than Louis Jadot, who has a Puligny-Montrachet on the list, or that I like Chassagne-Montrachet better than a Puligny-Montrachet, but because we had done the Latour too often recently, as the only white Burgundy on too many wine lists. I started our small group with the Michel Picard Chassagne-Montrachet. While not a fan of “theme restaurants,” in general, the Gaslight Club does not bother me in any way, so long as the wines and food are up to par. OK, the Gaslight Club is a themed restaurant, and works to retain that – harkening back to an earlier era, which is fine. A quibble that I see I had in an earlier review. It was perfect, though we could have used a bit more light, directly over the table. Gaslight Club 3. ![]() ![]() We were in a smallish dining room, to the right, as one enters from the host/hostess stand. We know the layout, and the drill, and requested a table off to the side, from the bar area, as the performers can get a bit loud. In this case, my wife had a meeting AT the Gaslight Club, before we left the next morning (later, than usual) for meetings in Buffalo, NY. We stay at that inn, when we have meetings that run late in town, and have early flights the next morning. To date, we have probably dined at the Gaslight Club, in the Hilton O’Hare Airport a dozen times.
