This classy pool hall and restaurant features 27 professional tables on two floors.

We are shooting at the newest hot spot for pool in the West Loop. Owned and operated by Tom Karabatsos, a world class pool player. They have a lounge area complete with fireplace, live music and more.

Join us for an excellent night of ExpressDater pool! You will play a game of pool then decide whether you would like to see that person again, and mark your preference, which remains confidential, on a tally sheet. At the end of the evening, ExpressDater computes the results and delivers the good news to participants.

What can I expect at a DMF event?
DMF events are excellent opportunities to mix and mingle with large groups of like-minded singles, or just grab a drink with friends. DMF parties are not ‘speed-dating’ events and there is no formal matchmaking. However, we commonly facilitate introductions.

Cheese Fest was just an idea long ago. Conceived by some bright but bored college students at the University of Chicago, Cheese Fest spread onto the Chicago scene in the early 1990's when Chicago had some of the cheesiest yet some of the most fun bars in the world! Though Wisconsin is known as the cheese capital of the USA, Chicago has the cheesiest bars per capita in the world! So, you ask yourself how you can be apart of Cheese Fest 2004? Read on cheesy one!

The line up of Cheesy destinations:

^ Cheese King/Queen contest (tba at Shenannigan's at 10:00 PM)
^ Cheesy snacks served along the bar crawl
^ Try out your cheesiest pickup lines (single people only)
^ Cheesy music
^ Cheesy attire is highly recommended (might help you win Cheese King/Queen)
^ We are working with bars to waive cover

PPC's 8th Annual 12 Bars of Christmas Lincoln Park Neighborhood Pub Crawl

Saturday, December 4, 2004

Starting time and bar TBA

The Tradition Continues! What started out in December of 1997 as just a handful of friends joking around that we should go a 12-Bar tear to kill time on a Friday night in Lincoln Park has mushroomed into one of the largest free pub crawls in the City of Chicago with the event attracting over 300+ participants in 2003!

Although there have been evolutionary changes along the way, like moving the event onto Saturday night (so more folks could attend), free wristbands, and of course, pre-negotiated drink specials, our core traditions remain the same... good friends, good drinks, good times, and even some free Santa Hats for the early birds.

And even though this event has grown to one of the largest private pub crawls in the city, to this day we don't collect one penny from our friends for this event, as we do not wish to make your charitable giving decision for you by collecting on someone else's behalf. We think it's great that others do (so please be generous to the charity of your choice), but that's just not what we're all about. We're here to party!

See you all there!
