Thu January 31 at 6:30 PM, Rossi's Liquors
412 North State Street, Chicago, IL, USA (Map & Directions)
Rossi's It Is!
A last minute trip has me in Chicago this Thursday night. I am staying at the Marriott on Magnificent Mile downtown. I haven't seen you guys in over a year.
So we should probably grab drinks if it works for anyone. I realize it's supposed to be balls freezing cold out this week, but if anyone is around downtown after work and wants to grab drinks, I would be game.
I'm down. I work in the loop and will be done around 6.30 or so. Where do you wanna go?

I have a business thing at the Excheq, but it's over earlyish. Where are you thinking? What's up near that Marriot other than Timothy O'Tooles and Inn Bar?

Rossi's liquors looks interesting, but I defer to the locals.
There is, of course, always the billy goat.

I have like eleventy billion things I need to do this week, but if there's something happening right after work (for me 5pm) I can stop by for about an hour.

Rossi's is an amazing dive bar but it's quite small. I can't make this meetup (will I EVER make a meetup? *sigh*) but if you've got a party larger than five (ha - or maybe four), Rossi's will start to feel cramped.

I would be up for this too -- pretty much anywhere downtown after work.

Can't make this, but dropping in to say that Rossi's is my favorite bar in the city. You should go there.

Rossi's it is. If for some reason more people show up, we can brave the cold and find another place.
Also: Normal, IL is very... Plain and Normal. Looking forward to being in Chicago tomorrow.

Move Normal, IL with to about 100 miles west and you've just described my life from age 10 - 16, so I'm quite sympathetic.

Rossi's is cash only. Just wanted to put that out there for anyone who might otherwise want to pay by plastic. The more you know...

Thanks for the reminder youngergirl44, as I do need to hit up the ATM but it might be telling about what kinds of bars downtown I frequent that the thought of being able to pay with my card didn't even cross my mind.

Jesus it is cold out.
I am still going to Rossis, even if it means me having to leave my hotel and walk out in these Hoth like conditions for drinks.

In towards the back, wearing a brown winter coat, being a nerd on an iPhone.

It was great meeting up.
Joe and I stopped in at the goat on our way back, and had the weirdest experience of the night with some aggro dude who took turns insulting and complementing us.
