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.
Every Metra Rider near the Northwest Pacific Train Line, has access to some of the greatest Bike Trails in the Chicago-land area. Whether you bike for fun or as a means of getting around this post is for you. We’d love to hear about your ride and any tips for the other riders.
If you are looking for a fun way to spend the day/evening check out our list of the finest Irish Pubs on Metra’s Northwest Pacific Line. Hop on the train and enjoy some traditional Irish food and let the proffesionals do the driving so you can enjoy a pint or two of the your favorite Irish Brew.
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.
We have been searching for input on great bike routes accessible from the Metra rail, and we are very excited to to welcome Guest Author, Greg Borzo for a series of bike routes off the Metra Lines. This is the first entry and we are looking forward to Greg’s next post with us, his Top Ten Bike Paths off The Metra Lines.
If you are looking for some good Irish Food, a Drink, or a great destination for your next Bar Crawl, TJ O’Brien’s is just the place for you and your friends. Their friendly staff, good food, and reasonable prices make it a Downtown Palatine favorite.
Pop’s is a great place to catch a game or catch up with friends and grab a bite to eat. Being located in downtown Palatine, across from the train station is helping Pop’s become a bar crawl favorite.
Stop in for a cold beer and stay for the food!
You don’t have to be Irish to enjoy this pub crawl. We have included five Irish pubs in five different towns. Pick where you want to stop and end, then go out and have some ‘craic.” (an Irish term for fun or good time). If you try all five we would like to hear about your favorites.
If you like to cook or want to learn there is a cooking class for you. A variety of classes are available for men, women, children and couples. Great ideas for a guys or girls night out, as well as a date night or bridal party. Have fun while learning something new.
If you are looking for a special way to celebrate Easter and perhaps start a new tradition, here are some great suggestions. From Free Easter Egg Hunts and Visits with the Bunny to Breakfast or Lunch with the Bunny, there is something for everyone.
