Free Pool (for the ladies)
It's Ladies Night at the Chicago Billiards Cafe, which means gals play free from 8pm-2am. The Cafe is bright and "family-oriented" which means you can play a few games of pool without the dank (although you might miss the dank, one never knows). The Chicago Billiards Cafe is located at 5935 W. Irving Park Road, in the Austin neighborhood.
Chinese Paper Cuts @ Columbia
