Residents are drawn to the South Side neighborhood for many reasons. Most notably, they are comforted by the hospitality and togetherness of the community, which makes neighbors feel much more like friends. Although Beverly feels like a small town in this way, the neighborhood emanates a cultural diversity that can be attributed to its proximity to downtown Chicago.
Western Avenue is lined with pubs that are reminiscent of Beverly’s past. The neighborhood is home to the South Side Irish Parade, an annual event that is considered one of the largest Saint Patrick’s Day community celebrations outside of Dublin.
