Located at Lincoln and Belden, you’d think that Thursday night, aka 50-cent Miller High Life Draft night, would be packed with college kids. Well, you’d be wrong. The crowd ranges from college kids to people in their mid-thirties, and you never know when it’s going to be a chill night or a rowdy night. It has a lengthy bar, a pool table and a dance floor off to the side with its own bar. But the best part—besides the free popcorn—is that you can feel like a baller by ordering rounds for your friends and still not need to break a $20.

On Vacation: One Night in the Voodoo Museum The driving rain banged off the tin shelter. Putting my head back I realized I was alone with a group of strangers, inside the Voodoo Museum.
El of a Night: Twelve Hours on the Red and Blue Lines While I ride CTA trains a few times a week, I was interested in getting a better sense of what conditions are like on the El at other times of the day. So I hung out on the Red and Blue routes from 5pm to 5am.
