The Hideout (1354 West Wabansia) holds its Soup and Bread weekly fundraiser tonight from 5:30-8pm (or until the soup runs out). Local chefs and foodies prepare a selection of soups for your casual slurping from the bar's crock pots, with (encouraged) donations going to a local food-related charity. This year each week has a theme, and tonight's is "Down under." Event is age 21+, but children can be admitted if accompanied by an adult.
The Northwest Chicago Film Society presents a 35mm screening of Lilith, starring Warren Beatty and Jean Seberg, at 7:30pm tonight at the Portage Theater, 4050 N. Milwaukee Ave. Tickets are $5.
