Chicago Bachelor Party--Need Help From Chicago Experts

[vega$]

My brother's bachelor party is coming up at the end of July. The tentative plan is to arrive on Friday morning, take the train down to Wrigleyville and watch the game at the bars, go to a late dinner Friday night, and then hit the strip club. Friday night is already planned and pretty much taken care of.

Saturday we are going to the Cubs game, then going out that night. I need your help with Saturday night. There are 13 of us going. Normally we would do bottle service at a club on a Saturday night; however, my brother is not really a big club guy, so we are looking for alternatives. Any ideas for good bars and/or lounges that would be fun with lots of girls? I was thinking about doing a bar crawl, but I have only been to Chicago once, and I don't know too much about the bar scene.

Any help you can provide would appreciated. We are staying at The WIT, but are willing to travel to wherever the best places are (and we may have a limo for the night).

Talk to your concierge to see if you can get to Roof at the Wit. Its a little clubby, but is the best rooftop in town and it definitely helps that you're staying at the Wit. As for more low key non club like places with girls, I'd say, Rockit (in River North, not Wrigley) Public House, Hub51, or this new place I've not yet been, but my roommate went last weekend and said its his new fave place in the city called Untitled. I'm pretty sure all of those places are on Hubbard in RiverNorth so you should be fine. Stout is a new place that is supposed to have a lot of talent as well. I'd also suggest heading over to Wicker Park and checking out Bangers and Lace, The Bedford, The Anthem, and really any other bar on Division st, or Milwaukee Ave. You'll have a blast. If its nice, you should definitely go to the beach, as well. At North Ave beach there is a bar called Castaways where one side will be clubby, and not what you're looking for, but the other relaxed and tons of people.

May be too late for this, but the lounge area at Japonais is a great spot for your Saturday night meal. Hot crowd, really good sushi and just a fun scene overall. Make sure you reserve a table downstairs in the lounge. Many of the tables are right on the river.

And I second the suggestion for Roof, especially since you guys are staying there.
