Great Happy Hours!
by gingerrogers
Heard from a friend that Alcock's will have an "UnHappy Hour" sponsored by the job site CareerBuilder on on 11th and 12th of Feb. (Monday and Tuesday after the Superbowl)
Rumor is that they're serving free appetizers for an hour around 6 or so!!
The food at Alcocks ain't so great sometimes but it's the perfect place to hang out with coworkers! Free food and amazing drinks so this should be fun!
- Pros: great for hanging out after work

Neighborhood bar in the Loop
by htebzile
Great place to relax and have a few drinks after work with friends. Laid-back crowd, great jukebox selections and friendly staff.

Crowded, average financial district bar
by dondattabiggy
This place is kind of a messy, sloppy bar but it fun after work. Plenty of traders and financial types, not a bad place, you just dont wanna stay too long.
