The Uptown Poetry Slam
Chicago

773.878.5552
Sunday nights at the Green Mill are poetry slam nights. There are "three components to the evening: open microphone at 7pm, a guest performer at 8pm, followed by the poetry slam at 9pm." The winner of the slam gets to take home a case of macaroni and cheese or sometimes $10. "Don't let the 'poetry' aspect scare you off; it's more entertaining and comical than serious." The performances make for "one heck of a good time!" Read more.

Uncommon Ground
Chicago

773.929.3680
Established in 1990 as the first "smoke-free" neighborhood coffeehouse in Chicago, Uncommon Ground has welcomed locals and out-of-towners alike. In fact, "this is a coffee shop-music venue-restaurant that many in-the-know Chicagoans take their visitors." Located in Wrigleyville on the corner of Grace and Clark, "the atmosphere is awesome, the food is spectacular, and the price is very reasonable." With "live music every night and a cozy décor, it's enough to make you want to stay for hours." Read more.

The Bongo Room
Chicago

773.489.0690
The food at the Bongo Room is "unbelievable." Nowhere else will you witness such savory culinary transformations. "They take ordinary menu items (i.e. pancakes) and turn them into food that is so good you can't stop eating it (i.e. pumpkin cheesecake pancakes with vanilla anglaise)." Located in Wicker Park, the Bongo Room's "décor is artsy, but no matter what kind of person goes, they always love it."

The Neo-Futurist Theater
Chicago

773.275.5255
"Local and national industry media continually praise the Neo-Futurist Theater for its one-of-a-kind performances." The shows are popular, and they don't take reservations, so "locals line up around the block for late-night weekend shows." The signature performance, "Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind" has received critical acclaim "for years." A night here is "very budget-friendly," and you'll "get a real taste of true Chicago theater!" Read more.

The Village Tap
Chicago

773.883.0817
No matter what season, the "year-round outdoor patio" in this Chicago beer garden thrives (how could it not with 26 beers on tap?). "It's decorated in dark wood, and there is a cozy fire going during the winter." It's a neighborhood spot that "offers a warm welcome home" and provides a "relaxed small-town feel in a big city." Come here to appreciate the "laid-back atmosphere." Read more.
