Isn't Fry's an electronics store? We can't drink there can we? 😛


Yes, there is a Hooter's about 2 miles aways from FRY's in Downer's Grove, IL. I work very close to the Fry's location.

We should hit up the bars in Naperville. If so, I should be in town this weekend.


Although I live near Naperville, but I think it will be too far south/west for most. But hey if that is what you want minendo .... I'm up for that

I only brought it up since I'll be staying about 5 minutes from downtown Naperville.

Where at? Im up right on near ogden and naperville road intersection
In the subdivision on the corner of Naper Blvd and Maple.

Damn didnt know there were ATOT'ers so close, im at 53 and Maple.

Anyhow, for the Chicago group, I just went to a nice little bar/grill place this last week - $1 drafts (a full Pint, no less) and $1 burgers on Mondays - it's called Dicks, and it's on Des Plaines Rd. (I think in Palatine? Or is it still Wheeling?) if anyon'e interested . . ..

(btw, the waitresses there are to die for - our server had a perfect, and I do mean perfect, body - I wanted to start small talk, but she didn't seem intersted . . . 🙁)
It's between Euclid and Golf, right?

Yes, YES! Total was $14 for me and a buddy of mine - we must've been there since 5 and left at 11 . . .. Good times! :thumbsup:

10 mins from me 🙂
 
There is also a place next to motorolla roughly at 53 and algonquin. Their food is awesome, and every tuesday is 50 cent drink night. Nearly everything in the house is 50 cents. Sometimes i pickup a ketel one and tonic, and it is still only 50 cents.

Nope. Alumini Club. Myself and 3 other peeps went there for about 6 hours. We ordered food and drank tons. Our bill was $47 IIRC. I felt like being nice so I paid it all 😛

😕 Just to get this out of the way, what are you "Nope"'ing to? The fact that I won't get hammered? I usually drink but I keep a pretty good pace for myself. 😕

Downtown Chicago here.

Been to the Fry's a couple of times. 🙂

You MUST try Bob Chinn's crabhouse while you're here. It's not far from Buffalo Grove

Whereabouts downtown?

I'm a bit south of Kinzie next to the river.

I live on State & Oak. I work in the Loop.

We can maybe do Friday evening somewhere or it will have to be the weekend after next.

What do you guys think?

Friday the 10th I might be in town for the Get Up Kids and Straylight Run, playing at HOB. If you get people together that night, LMK.

You'd be welcome to come to the show, but I don't know if you dig on The Get Up Kids...

If I don't go out of town for the 4th of July, I'm going to try and catch Coheed and Cambria at the Metro on the 3rd.
