Four Star Bar Tour: Green Line Edition!
Advertisement
Hello everyone!
After a busy month of traveling it is time to get back onto the tour circuit! We had a very close vote so we're headed to old favorites and new spots along the Green Line.
3:30 - 4:30: Le Carousel - 222 W. Randolph (Loop): We will shake things up to start things off by drinking til the room starts spinning. This is a rotating carousel bar so it will start spinning the second we sit down. Then we have a quick walk to the Green Line for our trip to:
4:45 - 5:45: Gaijin - 950 W. Lake (Near West Side): If enough of you want to go to Federales instead, sure, we can go there. The important thing is both Gaijin and Federales are right under the Green Line station, but last I checked my friend manages Gaijin's bar. It might be fun to drop in on a friend, or just drift through the It Spot of the West Loop for the past decade. The choice is up to you.
6:00 - 6:20: Pulaski Green Line (West Garfield Park): For reasons of convenience and safety, because there's only one W. Garfield Park bar I could find, we'll ride in on the Green Line, take our drinks on the Green Line platform, and then make our way back on the train to:
6:30 - 7:30: Lakeside Bar - 3500 W. Lake (East Garfield Park): This is a favorite spot we haven't been to in quite some time. Looking forward to sampling their impressive juke box and making sure the NO RIFFRAF sign is still up.
8:00 - 9:00: Sakura Karaoke Bar - 234 W. Cermak (Armour Square): Hello, Chinatown! We're off to one of Chinatown's many karaoke spots. This one does not appear to require reserving a room, which is good because I generally don't know how many attendees will be along for the ride until we start rolling. We'll end our night with some glowing cocktails and maybe some songs.
