Care to see a tiger at a bar. Well, if you visit Uncle Richie's Bar at Lockport, Illinois then you will be fascinated to see a tiger with other regular customers.

However, the man named John Basile, who took the animal into the bar,  was slapped with disorderly conduct. He has also been booked for reckless conduct and having possession of a tiger, a dangerous animal.

Apparently, the 57-year-old man took the tiger cub for a casual walk into the bar on Feb. 15. It was not the first time that the animal had visited the bar.  

Basile is the owner of Big Run Wolf Ranch that has a licence from the Federal government. The particular tiger cub is a member of Big Run Wolf Ranch (an animal rescue centre). Quite a few people who happened to see the tiger cub at the bar thought he was a cute addition to their usual haunt.

People who spotted the animal on the street shouted for confirmation whether it was an animal casually strolling over the Ninth Street Bridge with its master. The police, however, was not amused. Lockport Police Chief Terry Lemming said that was concerned for the people who are regulars in the downtown area.
