Prepare for the Pub Crawl

If you're the type to leave the planning to the professionals, we've got the St. Patrick's Day pub crawl for you. On March 15, the Chicago History Museum is sponsoring "Erin Go Beer! Irish Pubs of Chicago Trolley Tour." a crawl organized and hosted by Sean Parnell, creator of the Chicago Bar Project, one of the city's authorities on Irish pubs in the city.

Sign up now before it fills up!
