What To Expect
Chicago offers a lot of speakeasies and bars for night owls. We will explore three of my favorite, hidden-away with craft cocktails, beers, non-alcoholic drinks, good music and a good ambiance bars in the historic, hip and trendy Ukrainian Village neighborhood; where you will experience the fabulous, intricate world of the art of cocktail creation and super funky live music at the last bar; where you will feel like transporting to a 1930's lounge.
Come join me to have a fun night. The last bar is about an 8 minute walk. Please be advised that drinks or food are NOT included. Only water.
Eat beforehand, drinking on an empty stomach isn't a cute look. All are welcome, no orientation limitations :)
