Oh Man! Sorry about that - I only discovered the Wednesday night
thing two months or so ago. It's great. Not quite as stuffy as the
weekends, from what I understand - and the cover is usually $10...
Clearing the place at 1:30-1:45 is a sad reality here in Chicago, as
the liquor licenses that the clubs run on brutally force them to
close *by* 2:00am... There are a few venues that are open til 4 all
week, but unfortunately, most of them aren't worth visiting unless
you're desperate for a few more drinks :)
Drop a note next time you're in town!
Cheers,
