Drink Up

134.jpgWhat does 20 bucks get you these days anyways? Southport Grocery, 3552 N. Southport Ave., has quite the answer for that. This Friday night, from 7 to 10pm, it will get you a no-reservations good time at this unique eatery, grocer and -- for the night -- art space. Fittingly dubbed, Drink Up Art, the event will feature new creations from local artists as well as the opportunity to partake in an educational wine tasting. Finger foods will be available for purchase (a measly $5 to $8) from the grocery as well. Food, wine, art -- what more could you ask for? Drink it all up! Call 773-665-0100 for more info.
