Stout “Craftails” include a Moscow Mule, Fresh Fruit Collins, Orange French Toast Shot and the Pineapple Recovery Punch (Bacardi pineapple rum, pineapple juice and coconut water served in a whole pineapple).

Non-alcoholic beverages are also available, from fresh juices and VitaCoCo coconut water to tea and LaVazza coffee.

Collegiate and professional football will be in the spotlight at Stout Barrel House and Galley. On Saturdays, Stout cheers on the Wisconsin Badgers. As an official Badgers bar, the restaurant and bar will show every game with sound while a DJ spins music and the fight song during commercial breaks and half-time. “Super Saturday” game day specials include a red, Badger “drinking glove” and souvenir mug ($10), brats ($5), basket of cheese curds ($5) and more. On Sundays, it’s all about the Chicago Bears. Every game will be shown with sound and a DJ will spin upbeat music and the Bears’ fight song.

Blue Line Coffee Crawl – 3rd Saturday

Multiple Dates
Chicago, IL

Gaslight Coffee Roasters
2385 N Milwaukee Ave
Chicago, IL 60647

The Blue Line Coffee Crawl is the first-ever established Chicago specialty coffee crawl with a workshop twist. This is THE foodie adventure for the coffee lover! Each shop will present and discuss a flight of three coffees. Every third Saturday, we will be featuring Gaslight Coffee Roasters, Ipsento Coffee, and Caffe Streets! We will be taking the Blue Line from Logan Square to Bucktown to Wicker Park.

Gaslight Coffee Roasters opened its doors at the end of September 2012 and it has been blowing up business ever since (this is good). Situated in the heart of Logan Square, Gaslight shares a co-roasting space with Half-Wit Coffee. The cafe serves up to three coffees (one guest roaster) at its pourover bar, espresso from its beautiful Strada machine, and charcuterie plates like you’ve never tasted before in a coffee shop.
Ipsento Coffee is the second in-house roaster on this crawl and it is one of the least pretentious shops in Chicago. Not only do they roast right in front of the register (no, it’s not just for display), they also work directly with the farmers they source their coffee from. Ipsento is a cozy coffee house, packed in with baristas who are knowledgable about their craft. The topic here will be processing methods- Ipsento sources one coffee from a Panama farm that is processed by washed, natural, and honey methods.
Caffe Streets is the last stop on our crawl and they’re known to feature up to four guest roasters on a variety of brewing methods. Even better- you can buy retail bags of roasters from across the country! Housed in a beautiful space, the owner and baristas are passionate about making you the best cup of coffee you’ve ever had.

Check out what others are saying about the crawl here.

With the Super Bowl quickly approaching, people are going to look for where they can get the best bang for their buck and watch the Ravens and 49ers battle it out.

To celebrate the big game, Pizzeria Serio in Lakeview (1708 W Belmont Ave) will be offering all of their guests FREE PIZZA during the Super Bowl on Sunday, February 3rd. There will be no drink minimum or package associated with this. All that people have to do is come in to Serio and enjoy some of their famous East Coast pizza.

Cooked at 800 degrees in a brick oven, Pizzeria Serio has developed a reputation for helping diners forget about “Chicago style pizza” and embrace traditional pies, such as Serio’s signature Margherita pizza.

Stylish, 4-Star Digs near House of Blues and Magnificent Mile

Chicago’s River North neighborhood was once filled with factories and warehouses. Today, it’s studded with art-deco buildings and one of the country’s largest clusters of art galleries—second only to Manhattan. Among the area’s most iconic landmarks is Marina City, a pair of cylindrical high-rises that look like corncobs. They’ve been featured in The Blues Brothers, The Dark Knight, and the album cover of Wilco’s Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. The stylish Hotel Sax is part of the one-block Marina City complex and sits within walking distance of famous steak houses, live music at the House of Blues, and designer clothing stores on the Magnificent Mile.
