What's up guys, I'm a neighbor from up north (Minneapolis) and I'm coming down there this weekend to see Bruce on Sunday. I'm coming down with my three friends and we're staying downtown. Where would you recommend we go if we want to go out and have a bunch of drinks and fun but not spend tons of money? It doesn't have to be downtown or anything. Thanks for the help!
Aw that's no bueno. Is it newer? I've always had great service on the south side. One thing I do miss about living farther north is the much bigger variety that's available.
If you want craft beer: Hopleaf, Map Room, Quenchers. Cheap beer: anywhere in Wicker Park... just take the blue line train to Damen and get off. You'll be surrounded by bars.
Yeah, it opened up this summer I think. It's not too bad, because the food is almost all good. Oh well. Love the North Side, the food is unbelievable up here haha
Flat Iron and Nick's are great cheap spots in Wicker Park. Link's Taproom always has s great selection of craft beer as well. You can also head up to Logan Square, where there are lots of great dive bars as well as a Revolution Brewing tap room.
Would highly recommend doing a night boat rental on the river. Bunch of friends and I got a groupon deal on Friday, $36 + tip a person covered it, including a driver. Really gives you an awesome view of the city. Also, if you're planning on boozing, definitely get a driver. We ran across a wasted bachlorette party whose self-driven boat died and got stranded on some rocks; ended up towing them back to their dock in a hilarious 30 minute segment haha.
Who here is going to RIOT FEST this weekend? I'm going alone Friday and Saturday and meeting with friends on Sunday. Anyone wanna meet up/see the same bands?
I'll be there Saturday with my girlfriend and friend from out of town. You're more than welcome to join us for a few bands! Same goes to you @DeathOrGlory !
I'll only be at the Dillinger Escape Plan aftershow on Friday because I'm lame. Lemme know if you're going to that!
I should get to Riot Fest a few minutes before JEW go on at 605. Anyone wanna snag a beer at the bar just south of the Riot stage?
Anyone hitting up 312 Block Party this weekend. Against Me! is headlining Friday and beers are only $3 for crying out glavin
