GARTERING SUPPORT
The Undie Ground
Get ready for cocktails, models in underwear and gift bags. Oh, that’s right—you were born ready. That’s good: the folks at the Underground want to show you their knickers. Yes, they’re underwear designers now. You’ve suspected it was their ambition all along.
- 411:
- Apr 21, 9pm, The Underground, 56 W Illinois St, 312-644-7600
GRUNTING IN THE DARK
R.J. Grunts Debuts Late Nights
After four decades—and heroically inventing the sneeze guard—R.J. Grunts could just settle down. Instead, it’s throwing a party to celebrate the fact that it will be open until late on weekends, so you can get that boozy banana shake before going home. Again with the heroism.
- 411:
- Fri-Sat, open until 2am, R.J. Grunts, 2056 N Lincoln Park West (at Dickens), 773-929-5363
COTTON TAILS
Burlesque Pastie Hunt
The Easter Bunny. Probably the sexiest of all holiday mascots (Christopher Columbus is obviously a close second). The girls of Vaudezilla Burlesque help it reach its full potential with bumping, grinding, pin the cotton tail on the bunny and the traditional pastie hunt. Basically, Easter at the Playboy Mansion.
- 411:
- Apr 22, 9 and 11pm, no cost, Lincoln Tap Room, 3010 N Lincoln Ave, 773-868-0060
GOOSE IS LOOSE
Goose Island Takes Over at SmallBar
Sure, $39 million was a fair price for Goose Island. But, look, for $25 you can get full access to 20 of its best brews when the brewery commandeers all the taps here for the night. And that includes the service.
- 411:
- Apr 23, 7-8pm VIP preview, $25, SmallBar Fullerton, 1415 W Fullerton Ave, 773-525-2727
SPARE CHANGE
Bowling for Easter
Bowling pins. You knock them down. They get right back up. It’s hard to miss the metaphor, of course. Also hard to miss: Easter martinis brightened with marshmallow Peeps, chocolate eggs and other holiday staples... like vodka.
- 411:
- Apr 24, 11am and 2pm seatings, $39, 10pin Bowling Lounge, 330 N State St, 312-644-0300
