scratchapella Posted April 24 Report Share Posted April 24 Let's find someplace nearby the Riviera so there won't be any transportation confusion. I think it's either Lawrence or Racine stop on the Red line. I can't wait to come home! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citybartender Posted April 24 Report Share Posted April 24 Another meet up sounds cool... I know this cozy place on Lawrence, just west of the Aragon. It's a dimly lit "old man's bar" with leather booths. Some friends and I had a few drinks there before the Oakenfold show. Anyone else have any other places in mind???------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fiatmusica Posted April 26 Report Share Posted April 26 I vote for this "old man's bar" unless something better comes up.You're not going to find a TGIF in that area...BUT i think a possible candidate restaurant might have opened about three blocks south (on broadway north of montrose) called frankie j's on broadway...don't know $, booze situation (but if its BYOB there's all kinds of liquor stores around there)..i have to go by there this weekend so I'll swing by if there's any interest.------------------"What else do you do there except lie - lie to yourself and others, lie about everything you recognize in your heart to be true? You're obliged to pretend respect for people and institutions you think absurd. You live attached in a cowardly fashion to moral and social conventions you despise, condemn, and know lack all foundation. It is that permanent contradiction between your ideas and desires and all the dead formalities and vain pretenses of your civilization which makes you sad, troubled and unbalanced. In that intolerable conflict you lose all joy of life and all feeling of personality, because at every moment they suppress and restrain and check the free play of your powers.

citybartender Posted April 26 Report Share Posted April 26 So I guess the "old mans bar" is where it's at! I do not know the exact address, but it is a half block west of the Aragon. It's on the northside of the street. Between Brodway and the Redline. There is a vertical sign announcing it's whereabouts, so it's easy to see from the street or sidewalk. (I think it's called Tony's???)You'll know when you're at the right place because on the right is a cash-n-carry and to the left is the bar. As far as parking is concerned, I do not think that there are any parking structures, but there are pay lots there.Anyone want to come up with a time???------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimberlyco Posted April 26 Report Share Posted April 26 Oh yum!!! I liked those red bull and champagnes!!! Ok, we need a place where we know the name and address cause I don't know about you men, but women are direction illiterate and we need exacts!! We got two weeks to get it then. Time? around 8 again? What time is the concert at? Tommy, I don't think your girlfriend would like that very much. (brat )This is my favorite board but does it ALWAYS have problems! geese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

citybartender Posted April 26 Report Share Posted April 26 Yes! I found out the exact name and address of the bar... It's Saxony Liquor and Lounge.1136 W. Lawrence Ave. 8pm sounds alright. Below is a review of the place."...the careworn and scuffed Saxony Liquor and Lounge offers a dark, dive-like retreat from the Uptown commotion at Lawrence and Broadway. Much less threatening than at first glance, Saxony is also more low-key and less boisterous than other nearby taverns. Though there are barstools aplenty, the ample red leatherette booths are more accommodating. The super-cheap drinks are just a narrow aisle away. A jukebox at the far end carries rock ‘n’ roll classics and country standards. Just inside the door before the lounge begins, beer and bottles to go can be purchased from a takeout..."For our North West subruban friends...1: Take the I-90 E/N-W TOLLWAY ramp towards CHICAGO. 2: Merge onto NW TOLLWAY (Portions toll). 3: NW TOLLWAY becomes I-90 E. 4: Take the KEELER AVE exit, exit number 44A, towards IL-19/IRVING PARK RD. 5: Turn SLIGHT LEFT onto W IRVING PARK RD. 6: Turn LEFT onto N ASHLAND AVE. 7: Turn RIGHT onto W LAWRENCE AVE. 8: Head east, will be on your left before the Aragon-CBP.S.
