If you're looking for a way to distract yourself from the Chicago winter that's coming, we've got just the thing for you: two very awesome, very free events at Bar Novo, located in the Renaissance Chicago Downtown Hotel in the Loop. Both are part of RLife LIVE, a program dedicated to bringing new ways to rediscover your city through great events to Renaissance Hotels around the world.

First up is a bourbon tasting with Woodford Reserve and Gentleman Jack on Tuesday, November 19th from 5-7pm. Don't forget to complement your bourbon with Woodford-glazed BBQ wings and Woodford mini pecan pies! Then finish up November with the Movember Mustache Bash on Saturday, the 30th: celebrate the beauty of facial hair with plenty of prizes, bourbon and an old-timey photobooth! All facial hair enthusiasts and the ladies who love them are invited to attend.

At either event, Chicagoist readers can mention the word "intrigue" and they'll receive a complimentary appetizer! RSVP for the bourbon tasting here, and the 'Stache Bash here.
