Tacos & Tequila
Old Pueblo Cantina is bringing the spirit of the Southwest to this year’s Tacos & Tequila event. Chef Jaysen Euler will be serving up a signature taco crafted exclusively for the evening—bold, flavorful, and designed to pair perfectly with top-shelf tequilas. Hosted by culinary icons Rick Bayless and Marcos Carbajal, this fan-favorite celebration of tacos, tequila, and community sells out year after year. Don’t wait—secure your spot for one of Chicago’s most anticipated food events.
Blocktoberfest
Come by the event and experience two of our favorites: Jackman & Co, a UK-style gastropub known for its elevated takes on pub classics, and Pizza by Sal, serving up pies that are always a crowd favorite. Each will be bringing their own flavor and energy to the evening—two unique stops you won’t want to miss.
Two Floors, One Night | A Progessive Dinner
