Paint the Town Green

In the month of March everyone is a little Irish. Here is a listing of festivals and parades that will allow you to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day starting on March 11th and end on March 17th. So don your green and get ready to party! We will keep you posted as more details are finalized for these and other events.


Palatine Neighborhood Bar Crawl

Welcome to Pop's

With the weather getting nasty who wants to drive. Grab a group of friends and meet in Palatine for this neighborhood bar crawl. All of the bars are only minutes from the train and each other. All of these bars have a casual atmosphere where everyone feels welcome. No need to eat before heading out as all 3 of these bars have food.

Pop’s Bar and Grill

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.
