SF had: slivkens
TR had: Jim Beam on the rocks
While still in Chicago, after a lovely dinner at Yoshi's TR and SF met up with resident Chicagoan Ivan to have drinky-drinks at Sidetrack, the pre-eminent video bar in Chicago.
A few words about Sidetrack. First off, it's huge. Secondly, it's enormous. Third of all, it's gigantic. Also, there are video screens. They were playing comedy videos, because Thursdays are Comedy Nights. Frankly, the videos were not all that funny.
Our friend Ivan, however, is a riot. If you live in Chicago, you may already know Ivan. He's widely regarded as the mayor of Big Chick's. He's also a lovely person and a good friend. Ivan knows everyone. In fact, his realtor was at the bar, and his realtor's friend (who also knows Ivan) was there, too. The realtor's friend, who's name we can't remember, was seriously making out with someone in a dark corner of one of the front rooms.
Since it was a school night, Ivan had to leave. TR finished his drink and went back to the hotel. SF headed over to Buck's Saloon for a nightcap. They love SF at Buck's.

Roscoe's 25 April 07
SF had Slivkens
SF and TR happened to be in Chicago at the same time recently, and although the Pirate Project is intended to focus primarily on gay drinking establishments in New York City, it's becoming clear that the five boroughs are simply not large enough to contain all of our homosexually-inclined, low-grade-alcoholic-y antics.
So.
Roscoe's is a gay bar in the Lakeview (aka "Boystown") neighborhood in Chicago. It's been there forever and it's pretty respectable, as gay bars go.
TR was busy drinking with straight people, so SF was on his own. He was at the bar, ordered a Slivken and in short order began talking to a nice young man who was in the U.S. Coast Guard.
The end.
