What's Open In Chicago

[Kitchen]

Hello Group, well I will be heading to Chicago tomorrow on business, and will arrive in the morning.  Unfortunately the production company wants to test me (even though I have been tested twice this week) before allowing me on location, and that wont happen until Monday afternoon.  Needless to say, I will have a lot of free time on my hands tomorrow.  So, are there any cigar lounges/bars open currently in the city?  

I will be staying until Friday morning.  

Thanks, Joe

Iwan Ries is Open m-f looks like 10-5 ... that will be very close to where u r staying. I know updown is open later like 8/9... that’s in old town so maybe a 5/8 dollar Uber north... and is owned by @5thStarChicago  Monday is not good good for me. Maybe t/w/t after about 4/430 I could meet you at updown with maybe @inter4alia or @Buck14 @Diabolicalpherpher @unclepauly25 @Plato @SigSauer516 @NewFatMike @kevpro Lots of other Chicago guys but I know some live no where near downtown and there could be many reasons they can’t attend no pressure but I can’t wait for a lil herf ! Let me know what day works best and I’ll make it happen ...

As far as food and so on it’s kinda limited. Seems like if you get into the burbs they are doing whatever they want but downtown is a little more strict.... but still some options b/c most places have outdoor tents/make shift walls with heaters as well.

Crazy at work right now but I'll try to meet up if you guys get together.

Thanks for the tips.  Insofar as timing, I have to be on site until about 30 minutes after sunset.  Not sure if that will work out.

Thanks for the invite brother, unfortunately I work 3rd shift and I’m usually getting ready to leave the house at that time. I hope the Covid restrictions loosen this year, hopefully I can meet up with you guys depending on my days off, I’m waiting to find out my schedule for the year. Take care @lovethehaze!

6 PM would be great for me.  

Also, I know it does not work for you, but Monday is great if anyone else is interested.

I'm hanging at the store tonight for the BCS game.  If you all want to put something together for another evening this week, let me know and I'll see what I can arrange for patio space (we have heaters, no worries).  Wednesday night is the opener for the NHL so I might stay around later and show the games on the big screen too.
