Suggested Timing

|
| Mojo Spa | 1468 N. Milwaukee | Get your mojo back with a spa treatment and, if you play your cards right, they may even give you CAKE. Save some room for your next destination, however. Ask about the wine delivery service when you book your party. | Board the Chicago Trolley, head south on Milwaukee, east (left) on Division, south (right) on Rush until Walton. | 3:00-6:00 |
To book a trolley, please contact Chicago Trolley for pricing & availability: Chicago Trolley & Double Decker Co. Your pub crawl agenda is completely up to you. If you'd like to hire a guide, please be sure to mention that when you contact Chicago Trolley.
|
| Le Colonial | 937 N. Rush | French-Vietnamese fusion cuisine, set within a colonial 1920s setting, makes Le Colonial one of the most enjoyable restaurants in Chicago. Reservations required -- ask for the balcony in summer. |
South on Rush, west (right) on Chicago, and south (left) on Clark. | 6:15-7:45 | |
| Baton Club | 436 N. Clark |
A surprisingly entertaining show, exclusively featuring transvestites where these "women" are so stunning you can't help but to hunt for "the bulge." Reservations are a must, and shows run Wed-Sun at 8:30pm, 10:30pm and 12:30am -- 8:30pm is your best bet for this pub crawl, unless you want to head here instead of Berlin at the end of the night. |
South on Clark, and east (left) on Hubbard. | 8:15-10:15 | |
| Howl at the Moon | 26 W. Hubbard |
Though we are often loathe to recommend nightlife "chains," this joint is as fun as it is obnoxious with its dueling pianos and crowd sing-a-longs. Tip: if it's too crowded, head to nearby Blue Agave for margaritas or Innjoy in Wicker Park for 80s music (Fri/Sat). |
East on Hubbard, south (right) on State, east (left) on Wacker, north (left) on Lake Shore Drive, take Belmont exit, and continue to right before Sheffield. | 10:30-12:00 | |
| Berlin | 954 W. Belmont | Late night metrosexual-meets-homosexual scene is surprisingly alluring and the music will keep you going until the wee hours... and you'll work off part of your night! Everybody wins. | 12:15-4:00 (5:00 Sat) |
