Sheffield's Beer and Wine Garden, 3258 N. Sheffield Ave., Chicago  🗺️
We’re summoning the heavy hitters for a legendary Three Floyds tap takeover.

Imperial Stout royalty takes the throne at Sheffield’s as we celebrate 30 years (1996–2026) the only way we know how — loud, bold, and unapologetically dark.

6:00 - 9:00 pm 🍺 Chicago Language Cafe
Revolution Brewery Tap Room, 3340 N. Kedzie Ave., Chicago (773) 588-CANS 🗺️
Come join us for the Chicago Language Cafe meetup at Revolution Brewing on Kedzie! You can make some new friends and practice speaking a language that you are learning or already know. There will be a table for each language represented. Feel free to move around to different tables if you speak multiple languages! We generally have English, Spanish, German, French, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Arabic, Russian, Italian and ASL tables.
Let us know if you’re interested in other languages. We will have flags you can borrow to signify languages that don’t currently have a designated table. This will help you to find some other folks who are looking to learn/teach the same!
Please stick to speaking the language of the table. For example, avoid having a lengthy conversation in English at the Spanish table. Of course, it is always okay to clarify things in English, but in the spirit of the event, try to avoid speaking it as much as possible unless you are at the English table.
If you don’t speak any other languages but are still interested in joining us, come help others improve their English! We have people from all over the world who come to practice their English, and they always appreciate having a native speaker to help them.
This is a casual, social meetup with a large number of attendees. You will have the opportunity to practice speaking other languages and meet people from all different cultures and backgrounds, but if you are looking for a quiet, intimate conversational group, you may want to look elsewhere. Translation: Our meetups can get noisy and crowded (and fun!)
Meets on the first and third Thursday of each month! More information can be found on our Meetup.

The NeoFuturist Theater, 5153 N. Ashland Ave., Chicago 773-878-4557 🗺️
“Miersten Wolf “is a new musical with 10 original songs!
Music and lyrics written by Steve Mosqueda with the Drinking and Writing Theatre.
“Miersten Wolf” tells the story of a dream Steve had during the pandemic where he met a mysterious woman named “Miersten Wolf”. He woke up from the dream and wrote her name down so he wouldn’t forget it. Then he wrote a song about her since he spent most of his time in the basement practicing guitar and writing songs. He continued to write songs and soon realized these new songs were somehow connected to Miersten Wolf so he decided to create a musical! Along with the songs performed live on stage you will learn about Lake Michigan, how it supplies clean water to the city of Chicago and the history of Chicago’s sewage problem… Huh?
You have to see it to believe it!
“Miersten Wolf” opens Thursday, February 19th and runs through Sunday, March 8th
Show times are Thursdays 8pm, Sat & Sun 2pm.
