Gen X, what neighborhood bars do you party at? Am fairly new to the Chi scene, and went out Friday night only to discover everyone was 22 years old.

What neighborhood are you in? Lincoln Square is definitely going to have more of a Gen X crowd. I love going to breweries in that part of the city, like Half Acre and Dovetail and Delilah's is my favorite bar!

The bar scene late night is young. If you go out earlier you'll find the older crowd. Phyliss's, Gold Star, Inner Town Pub and Map Room are all wicker Park/Bucktown staples where old and young belly up.

Lemmings on Damen too.

I have kids. You think I’m in the mood to party? I just wanna watch some Netflix after they go to bed. Maybe have a moment to chat with my wife about our day.

Rainbo Club is a decent mix. Many of the staff are in bands and have been since the 90s. And there are several dives nearby. InnerTown Pub, Easybar, Black Hole, Gold Star. Further west you have California Clipper, which has a cool vibe.

I would say Fulton Market District/Randolph St has a more middle aged crowd. But it’s more upscale.

I would have loved Logan Square now if I was still 20 something. But I am the oldest person in any bar on that stretch. Except for maybe The Owl.

Thanks for this list. You're great.

We moved to the suburbs after we all got married. It's quiet, the commute isn't bad and we don't have to worry drunk drivers hitting our parked cars.

I checked out Armitage Alehouse (could not get a table), Scofflaw, Outdoor Voices, Moonlight Bar and Go Liquors Tavern.

Second the Billy Sunday suggestion!

It's been a challenging year for me, including a rejection from GSAP. This week, I got into my top choice MBA program - and an M7 to boot! Just goes to show that sometimes Deloitte's decisions can be misaligned to the greater world.
I hope that Deloitte gives me the chance to be a good brand ambassador - but at the point, it's up to the firm if I even consider coming back :)

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
