Default Coming to Chicago on Oct 11-14th

Hey guys!

Me and a few buddies decided to take a mid-semester trip to chicago!

None of us have been there before..

We got a KILLER deal on some travel website..

Got 3 nights, plus roundtrip NONSTOP airflight for 475 bucks aperson...

We are staying at the Willows Hotel Downtown..

Was wondering if anyone knew where to party, hang out, cars etc...

Thanks!!!

There is really no place downtown to do the car thing. I'm more of a local bar guy, but Gamekeepers is always a good time. http://www.gamekeeperschicago.com/index.php

And from there, theres a ton of other places all within walking distance.

Yea, but, . . . your flying, . . so, . . . . no car?? Jus kiddin. Let me know if you are headed towards Midway. I live literally walking distance from there.

Parties? Not the party-type guy. I guess Xcailbur might be your thing. It's a trendy, club scene downtown.

Hang-outs? You could hang with us on Friday, Saturday night. I think we might be headed towards 145th n Harlem this weekend for the hang-out spot.

Take care.

haha you won't get shot anywhere in the city, you have to do somethin stupid for that to happen. which is possible i suppose...

sounds like your lookin for an irish bar, thats where people have fun, get drunk, and chase women. check out the bars near state and division. that is a real fun street. all the bars are along division in that spot. xcaliber is on.... ontario and state? i believe. (in that area, i know its on ontario and pretty sure its state) that is more of a club bar. the girls there are amazing sometimes and wear nothing.

for sure meet up with the cars in the south burbs. cab ride to midway is like $35

If you want to pretend you're baller there's La Passage (sp?), I never thought a place could charge $12 for a Corona before.

If you want to hang out with lots of hot girls, then there's always the Lincoln Park area, DePaul's coed's will be in full swing by that time (god I miss school sometimes) and those bars arn't as clubby. Barely Corn is a good one.

I asked if you were headed towards Midway because that is one of the 2 airports in Chicago. The other, O'Hare. Jus' wanted to know if you were flying in to Midway Airport or O'Hare airport.
