Nightlife Spot: Whirlyball
Whirlyball is a big sports bar with all the regular sports bar stuff-pool tables, darts, video games, and a huge bar, but the main attraction is, of course, Whirlyball. It's like &ba cross between basketball and lacrosse in bumper cars and it's totally fun!
We went for Dylan's cousin's birthday...I don't really remember any specifics about actually playing any whirlyball, but I do know the night ended with me falling on the floor, so I guess that means I had a good night.

Nightlife Spot: Cool tavern with music too
We went to Schubas on my last night in Chicago. It served as a meeting/pre-funk, basically a staging area for our later Whirlybal hijinks. Schubas is kind of your typical frat bar...it reminds me of Taylor's in Eugene, but slightly better-I didn't see anyone drinking straight from pitchers.
They have a good selection of beers-and for all you malt liquor fans, they even have Schlitz. Another important feature, well important if you're an alcoholic, is the Jaegermeister tap at the end of the bar...I hate Jaeger, but that's beside the point.
Schubas also has a music performance space (in a room behind the bar) that draws quite a crowd. We never made it back there, but it has a pretty good reputation, so it's definitely worth checking out.
If any of you who read pages (6 people) ever go to Schubas, tell me if it gives you a compulsive urge to call everyone you know...for some reason that's what I felt like the whole time I was there, and finally succumbed and turned into the annoying person talking on their cell phone in a bar that's way too loud to be talking on a cell phone.

Are you at NW now? How do you like it? I took a class there a few years ago. I love that campus! | Tourtech Sat Aug 28, 2004 23:39 UTC
Chicago has some of the greatest architechure and stonework in NA. My friend owns a bar there. If you go back, Check out SmallBar. Say hi to Fuji. Great place, cheap drinks, modern groove jazz music and the youngest bar owner in chicago. Safe travels. | rwlittle Sat Jul 10, 2004 16:23 UTC
I was in Chicago with the SO last weekend, a great place! Evanston is nice too, good luck with your Northwestern aspirations... | Burtty Fri May 28, 2004 08:27 UTC
My wife had the same favorite painting as you in Art Institute. When we visit there in 1997, the special exhibition was the lovely doll house. |
