Anybody up for a Monday outing somewhere in or around Chicago
Looking forward to catching back up with you all since my 2016 travel has seen much less of Chicago than typical

Any chance you're there on the 15th? I am there for that one night. Otherwise I'll post a separate thread.

Unfortunately, not. . . in on Sept 19 and work all day on Sept 20
I should be able to make it. City or Oakbrook? Oakbrook is easier for me but dont mind going to the city.
More likely than not I'll be stuck down in the city. But will be back soon once I confirm my day time plans with clients
see you soon
see you soon
Have a reservation for up to 8 people at The Bristol(www.thebistolchicago.com).
Details are as follows:
WHEN: Monday, Sept 19 at 6pm
WHERE: Bristol (2152 N. Damen Ave)
THEME: I'm inclined to say OPEN theme on this but up for anything anyone proposes
Attendees: Right now, I have down the following:
-me
-smartlysauced
-jcubed
-winesparty
-jffmart99
look forward to seeing everyone soon and will post my contribution(s) in the next week or so. Likely going to be a somewhat aged Bordeaux (I know this would be a shocker) or some older SQN (a little more in character for me)

Thanks for taking care of the reservation Parcival. I'm looking forward to it.
Thanks for making the reservations, Parcival. I will bring a mid-1990s Bordeaux.

Sounds great . . . looking forward to this
It turns out I will not be back from the Northwoods Monday. But that means I will miss this one. Have fun.

Jcubed . . . sorry to miss you.
Anybody else interested. . . we now have 4 seats left on our reservation. Certainly won't be a problem to downside the reservation if necessary, but hopefully a few more folks will jump on in

How was the Bristol for a wine dinner? What is the corkage policy there?
Great wine service. I'd call the restaurant about corkage. It was waived on Monday and Tuesday nights for awhile. Not sure if they still have that policy.
Their roasted chicken is out of this world good.

$25/bottle at the Bristol.
Not sure about no corkage on Mondays/tuesdays.
If anyone is looking for a new BYOB option, Cellar Door Provisions in Logan Square started serving dinner recently. It's ~$45/pp for a 4 course pre-fixe. Food was excellent and very wine friendly. Dinner service is new for them, so they are still working out kinks. Still, fantastic food and a welcome addition to the BYOB scene with some recent closures.
