Reed's Local

Reed's Local Cycling Club 🚲 returns next week with a Repair and Ride! Need some quick tweaks or tightening? is bringing some tools so that your ride is ready to roll.

Then , Surly and Sweet Melissa will lead cyclists for a chill 6ish mile ride through the Avondale neighborhood. ALL LEVELS WELCOME. Want to ride but dont have a bike? No problem! Give us a heads up and we can loan you one. 🌞

After the ride, return to Reed's for a refreshing beer and treats from Old Style, a Chicago staple.

Heads up: We will be headed out a little later than normal (6:30pm instead of 6) this month.

Some sad news.
Wally's family informed us that the legend passed away recently at the age of 91.
Wally Kozinski was the proprietor at 3017 W Belmont for 35 years (Wally's Lounge) before Joel and Mel took over. Before that, though, he was also a friend.

If you ever met him at the bar, you know what a big personality he was! Sending our love to his family. We have wonderful memories of Wally's Lounge and the man behind it. We are grateful he entrusted us to take over and begin our own journey as Reed's Local.

Let's celebrate Wally with some shots of Malort. Come in and share your stories with us.
Cheers and RIP friend.
