Since you’ll be staying downtown, it’ll be rare to find bars that allow 18. You could always go down the street on Madison and Michigan Ave a little bit later at night http://www.pizanoschicago.com/loop.html or have an “early” meet at the Plaza at Park Grill, in Millenium Park, depending on the weather it’ll be closed by 11pm-ish. You could take over the lounge, no reservations unless it’s a party more than 10-15. Or… make that happen in reverse :-) I live just down the street. Let us know!

Oh yeah, there’s also Rock Bottom brewery a little bit north, but I’m not sure if they’re strict about age.

Are any of these places friendly for 21 and under? I’m worried a lot of readers might be just out of high school or in college and many places I’ve called won’t let them in after 10pm

i would love to meet up too. Like lwimages said, loop area is dead after 8pm and especially on weekends. to get bars, youll have to go the river north(closest but douchy), west loop(second closest) or wicker/bucktown(lots of fun). stay away from lincoln park.
