Someone said Malort and they’re right. Let people think they’re getting you your first Malort shot, then be really drunk on free drinks with new friends.
Alternative Bars - Exit (real alternative), Delilah’s, Skylark, Liars Club
Honestly, the bar scene in Chicago is on point.
Go out with coworkers! Pick up a hobby! Eat a deep dish pizza and down it with some Malort!
God I miss Chicago.
Be careful with Malort. I’m a native Chicagoan and the last time I had two shots of it in one night, my stomach hurt for three days.
But yes, bars, drinking, house parties, polish sausage, the beach—fuck, that city has everything. I miss it.
Copywriter 1: check out Wicker Park and Bucktown bars
Lived in both cities, MUCH easier to make friends in Chicago
Chicago is great. You’re going to love it.
What Chicago bars do Gen Xers hang at? Less frat guy-ish, more tattoo, alternative rock spots? Like where would the people without sports logos on every piece of clothing grab drinks?
See if your neighborhood has a facebook group and join it - most of them are super friendly and will answer all your questions! otherwise second what everyone else says. i would add Improv classes from iO, second city, or the annoyance to the list. nothing better than mutual embarrassment between strangers.
look up american bocce club - best time you ever had
Definitely easy to meet people in Chicago. And summer is the perfect time. Look up the Chicago Social Club for groups of people with similar interests. Check out Chicago Metromix for street fests and events. Also the Chicago Reader and RedEye. Head to the lake on any nice summer day. Its a fun city and nice people that are easy to talk to
I’ve lived in chi for two years and still haven’t made any. #lit
Producer 1 - same 😒
Where are you moving from? Are you staying with Zenith / the Groupe?
Moving from Boston, to Zenith Chicago. Already updated my LinkedIn in preparation lol
Make that *Chicago Sport and Social Club*
As for bars, find your “local” depending on what neighborhood you’re in.
@producer1 what's #lit??
Copywriter 1 - I want to know the same thing. Trying to make friends here since I moved from the burbs and that’s where all of my friends stayed
