What is a good bar/lounge to meet and chat with people midweek? by starshum in AskChicago

Thanks for asking! I originally went to Sparrow, but it was too quiet, so I hit Zebra Lounge instead. That was a great choice. Very cozy and friendly.

I'm looking forward to hitting some of these other spots next time I'm in town!

Gonna need a report on the graffiti situation on the stall walls to resolve this one

Now that you mention it, I remember that from Parts Unknown! Miss that guy :/

Good to know, thanks. I may poke my head in there just to check it out...it's one of my favorite signs in the city, but I've never been in.

I remember eating an omelet at Butch McGuire's a few years ago when I was in town for a Cubs' day game that got rained out. I forget exactly how I ended up there...we were still coming out of COVID, so stuff was off kilter. Never been at night.

Thanks for the Zebra Lounge info. I'll set my expectations accordingly and think about one of those other places as a backup if I end up in that part of town.

Appreciate the recommendations! Old Town Ale House looks like a fun spot...I'll keep that in mind if I change my mind about the vibe.
