Chicago's Historic Bars (With Benefits)
We are a city that loves our tours: architecture tours (by land and by sea), gangster tours, guides to the World's Columbian Exposition -- why not one that centers on booze? The creator of the Chicago Bar Project and author of 2010 book Historic Bars of Chicago Sean Parnell offers three summer pub crawls (June 24, July 15, and August 19, each from 6-10pm) that take participants around to five different historic bars and giving them some fun facts to impress that cute hipster girl at the bar.
(Here's how that dialogue will go:
You: Hey there. Did you know that Hunter S. Thompson smashed a urinal in this bar?
HG: Oh my god, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is my favorite movie.
You: I'd like to buy you a PBR.
HG: [says nothing because she's too busy making out with you])
$40 buys entry to the crawl, a copy of the book, and trolley transportation (you'll have to purchase the beverages on your own). Itinerary will come via email after ticket purchase.

Haha. Making out with you. I love it!
I've heard Chicago has a really good bar scene. I'll have to check it out.
