Things to do in Chicago

Frasc · 12-09-2009, 09:03 AM

So I am up in Chicago for 2 weeks from DC and I figured I would post on here to get anymore input on things to do / restaurants to hit up in Chicago. I'm up here myself and in my mid 20s if that helps narrow anything down for people.

If you're looking for some entertainment and a bite to eat after bar close, check out the Weiner Circle on Clark and Wrightwood up in Lincoln Park

I could recommend some bars/clubs/lounges depending what kind of music/vibe you're into.

watch out in Wrigleyville unless you like really bad baseball and guys touching your ass...

There is a German style resturant with amazing burgers on Franklin st. and Ontario.

Its called Hop Haus. Right next to Spy bar and across from sound bar. Its one of my fav eaterys in the city

Just stay away from spy and sound bar unless u like insanely loud music and euro trash wannabe's

I went there a while back dressed nice... left with too much hair gel, shirt unbuttoned to my stomach, a gold chain and sunglasses on!! lol

Try Martini Park its pretty chill. If you want to bar hop head up to lincoln park... The city is very diverse and your style/music will get you some feedback.

CubanJJ09 · 12-12-2009, 12:01 AM

Crook county. Lolol awesome and true

evill1 · 12-12-2009, 12:13 AM

a little sad but hey it's true... I was excited when I heard KFC wanted to fill pot holes around the city! anyways I am in the south burbs and NW Indiana so I definately hit the city to party.

Cafe Iberico on Lasalle just north of Chicago Ave. is a great tapas restaurant. I recommend going there. It is a great place to go for dinner, but if you only stop for a drink and a few tapas, it is worth it.

Hop Haus is excellent, they have a huge selection of German beer.
