Ladies & Gents:
After a blissful few months of above average temperatures, you recently unearthed your cold weather wardrobe and noticed all of your scarves were still dotted with dried tears. Yes, winter is back and it will love you in a way the sun never could. Don’t let your spirits drop with the temperature! Jesus and Santa have teamed up to promise that this will be the best holiday season ever and there is no better way to prepare to deck the halls than by joining the 8th Annual Holiday Hotel Bar BarCrawl!
Come celebrate the holiday season with your closest friends as we tour Chicago's festive hotel bar scene. Much merry will be made as we wassail our way down Michigan Avenue! Come for the overpriced drinks, stay for the Christmas lights and decorations that line our city's most beautiful avenues. Admission is free, laughs are complimentary, and you will likely arrive home overserved on gingerbread and myrrh and $19 hot toddies.
