This Train Crawl would be perfect for St. Patrick’s Day. On this Bar Crawl you will hit 3 bars in 3 towns, all within 3 train stops. We included 2 Irish bars and one bar to get lucky in. Start this Crawl at Mr. D’s at Arlington Park where they feature Off Track Betting and you might get lucky enough to pay for the rest of your night.
Grab a group of friends and meet in Palatine for this neighborhood bar crawl. These three bars are only minutes from the train and each other. They all have a relaxed, casual atmosphere where everyone feels welcome.
While most people have heard of Arlington Park Racetrack, some may be surprised to find that there is a great sports bar located in the park that is open year round. Whether you are looking for a place to eat, drink, watch a game or place a bet, this bar has it all.
You don’t have to be Irish and it doesn’t have to be Saint Patrick’s Day for an Irish Celebration. Head to Mt. Prospects Irish Fest. Irish Music, Irish Dancers, Irish Goods, Irish Food and of course Irish Beer. All in a heated tent. Hop on the train and let Metra do the driving.
Don’t let another summer go by without visiting beautiful Arlington Park Racecource. The park has so much to offer with many activities geared for families, as well as groups of any size. Admission is affordable and with Metra stopping right in front of the park even getting there is easy.
Combine live jazz music, food, wine, and art, and you have a great formula for a perfect evening. Mark your calenders for “Uncork Barrington”. This is an opportunity to sample 50 wines from around the world and pair cuisine from local restaurants to complement the wine selections. New this year, an art fair featuring select artist.
Ortmann’s Red Iron Tavern is a great place to get together with friends over a drink or perhaps a game of pool. This recently renovated tavern is housed in an historic building conviently located near Woodstock Square and the Metra Train Station.
Kick off the summer festival season with a trip to Chicago SausageFest conveniently located by Wrigley Field. This two day event will feature continuous live music, great food and drink benefiting the Prostate Cancer Foundation. One of the festivals highlights will be the crowning of the 2012 Sausage King.
With Craft Beer Week fast approaching we like to entice all the craft beer lovers out there to check out the 11 day event celebrating “Chicago: A City of Neighborhoods”. We have some great craft breweries listed that are within a mile of the Northwest Pacific line.
Craft Beer from 40 brewers, live entertainment and good food, what more could a person ask for? Head to downtown Barrington July 7th for the 9th Annual Brew Fest. Tents are located at the North Lot of the Barrington Metra Station, so with over 100 beers to sample, hop on the train and let Metra do the driving. Proceeds go to a good cause.
