The owner of My Bar has extended our drinking special because he knows how much Chicagoist and its readers love to drink. Now $20 will get you all you can drink (beer and well drinks) from 9pm - midnight tonight. Come out and watch Chicagoist try not to make fools of ourselves (we tend to sing quite a lot when intoxicated, come out to point and laugh!).
