Elliott's Pine Log Restaurant and Lounge was located at 7545 Skokie Blvd. (Cicero Ave.) at the intersection of Howard St. and Skokie Blvd. in Skokie, IL. Established in 1939 by Chris Elliott, the restaurant was never a speakeasy as others say on the Internet. It was the Morton House in Morton Grove that was the speakeasy these website are referring to. Surviving a 1955 fire that cost nearly $250,000 and injured two firefighters, the restaurant stood until it was closed in 1988 and razed in 1989. Their specialties included; Duck, Broiled Aged Steaks, Fresh Dressed Chicken, Choice Liquors in the "Keyhole Bar" and they hosted many Banquets, Showers and Wedding Parties.
