The Old Town Ale House is located on the North Side of Chicago, Illinois, near Lincoln Park. The bar is known for its spirited paintings of patrons and well-known Chicago residents. In September 2008, the bar gained national attention when co-owner Bruce Elliott began displaying a nude portrait he'd painted of Alaska Governor and Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin.
Sarah Palin Nude at Old Town
The Old Town Ale House and its co-owner, Bruce Elliott, made headlines in September 2008, when Elliott's nude painting of Sarah Palin went on display at the tavern. The oil painting features a naked Palin wearing her trademark glasses and red stilettos, holding a rifle and standing on a bear skin rug. Elliott, who is a supporter of Democrat Barack Obama, says he was inspired to paint the nude Palin after seeing his daughter's impressions of the Alaska governor and Republican vice presidential nominee.Windy Citizen: Chicago dive bar scores hit with nude Sarah...
