5. Tonic Room, Chicago, IL
The Tonic Room in Chicago has a chilling history. When the tavern first opened in the 1920s, the owners came across some unnerving images, including Egyptian iconography and pentagrams in the basement. The bar was believed to have been used for human sacrifice by an American Chapter of a secret society called the Golden Dawn. Word has it, that a man attended one of the society’s meetings and brought his young daughter along. The little girl allegedly observed a ritual killing in the bar’s basement. The Tonic Room also served as a meeting place for members of the Irish North Side Mob. In the 1960s, the bar was bought out by a self-proclaimed witch named Frederic De’Arechaga who transformed it into an occult store. The staff and guests of The Tonic Room state seeing ghostly apparitions in the sinister basement and bar.
