Where is a good place to take someone for her 21st birthday in Chicago?|109626

We are traveling from central Illinois. We are going to the Cards/Cubs game first on Saturday, August 18th. There will be 4 of us, ages 21, 23, 32, and 32, 2 guys and 2 girls. We will be using the L, so we need places within walking distance to a station. She likes sports, and likes to party. I know there has to be some great places to take her near Wrigley, or downtown.
Would also be looking for resteraunt ideas. Would like a good Chicago pizza either near Wrigley or anywhere else.
And please give me good info, and not links to Citysearch. I can look that up myself. I want good (or bad) suggestions on where to go or where to stay away from.

Lucky for you you can find pretty much all of that stuff right around Wrigley Field within a two or three block radius. There are bars there with DJ spinning music for dancing, there are a couple of bars with live music, including two reggae bars. There are upscale and casual restaurants that serve pizza, asian, German and everything else. There_s even a comedy club called the IO theater that is pretty cheap and they serve beer. It_s hard to narrow it down to one or two specific spots. You can just walk around the block and see for yourself. If you want pizza specificaly, there is an Italian restaurant on the corner of Clark and Waveland ave. Can_t think of the name, though. Since you_re not from the city, I_d stick to the area around WRigley Field. Going too far, you might get lost and it sounds like you_ve already mapped out the area from Wrigley to your hotel. Here is a link to the area around Wrigley.

I_d stay away from Wrigley - that area is for nerds, wannabes, and losers. The real scene is Bucktown, Wicker Park, or Old Town. Try Bravo or Moonshine in Wicker Park. In Old Town, try Orso_s for some thin crusted pizza.

Take her to Lou Malnati_s downtown. Best pizza in the city if you ask me. Honestly, a better choice for a 21st birthday that is really nice but also affordable is Grand Lux Cafe on Michigan Avenue. Get one of the booths that overlooks Michigan Avenue. Great food, great scenery, decent prices. Head up to Wrigleyville when you are ready to go drinking. All of these places are very accessible on the Red Line.

Go to cabby bear across the street from wrigley. It is a nice sports bar. Giordano_s is a great stuff pizza place.

Also clark street and the surrounding area is lined with bars and restaurants so if yo walk north on clark you will find food and party places for anybody_s taste.

drop her off at my place

Good chicago pizza is everywhere..Giordanos, Connies, Ginos East.

Lots of bars and nightlife in River North area and on Rush Street...get on transitchicago.com to see the elevated trains closest to these areas.

Young people love Navy Pier... can shop n_ eat there, an IMAX theatre, you all can take one of the tour boats and cruise the lake, would be beautiful at sunset..

It will be summer, hope you go see Buckingham fountain lit up at night in Grant park.. romantic.

Take a ride up and down lake shore drive at night, its beautiful, do it after 8 pm so you wont hit traffic.
