The Dil Pickle Club or Dill Pickle Club was once a popular Bohemianclub in Chicago, Illinois between 1917 and 1935. The Dil Pickle was known as a speakeasy, cabaret and theatre and was influential during the "Chicago Renaissance" as it allowed a forum for free thinkers. It was founded and owned by Wobbly John "Jack" Jones and was frequented by popular American authors, activists and speakers.[1][2]
The club's legacy has seen several reincarnations, including Chicago Dil Pickle Club,[3] the Dill Pickle Food Co-op,[4] Dil Pickle Press,[5] and the Dill Pickle Club of Portland, OR,[6] "an experimental forum for critiquing contemporary culture, politics and humanities."
