    Myself and a few buddies are headed down to Chicago this weekend for my bachelor party.....Curious if anyone can share some suggestions or experiences on good places to go. Of course there are a ton of places, im sure, however with not knowing the city well, I want to make sure we go to the best places. Looking for huge tap list, rare/cellar options, etc.......And I apologize in advance as I am sure this thread has come up numerous times.

    Thanks!

    I'll be in Chicago as well this weekend for Riot Fest. My favorite bar is Local Option, so I'll likely be there every night.
    Sheffield's and Foundtainhead also have great beer selections. If you want something unique, check out Beercade. Nothing like good beers with free to play retro arcade games! If you want a grungy punk rock whiskey bar, Delilahs is awesome. Decent beer selection too. I also usually go to Harrigans since they pour a proper Guinness and are one of the few places that has Eliot Ness on tap.

    Also, if you're hammered at 3am and want some entertainment, go check out Wiener Circle. Don't worry, it's not gay.

    Oh damn, I totally forgot about Hopleaf. The food at that place is amazing and the beer list is crazy good as well.
