The Bar Exam: Spike’s Blog


Chicago! It’s a wonderful bar!

It’s been a busy week! There were a bunch of big corporate conferences being held at Resorts World here in Vegas, which means there were a lot of business people in from out of town, which means I had a lot more new cases!  That’s right, old Spike had a lot of messes to clean up, both figuratively and in at least one case, quite literally. 

On this week’s Bar Exam, we’re taking a look at Chicago Brewing Company (2201 S. Fort Apache Road). Chicago’s a charming little suburban oasis with great atmosphere and a friendly staff (ask for Caroline). Check out Happy Hour from 3 p.m. — 6 p.m. for some great deals. Open 24 hours, this place will come in handy when I’m up all night analyzing a case and need to blow off some steam. I recommend the Hardway IPA. At 6.9% it has an extra kick that really helps when you’ve seen the things that I have lately! It’s my favorite, but there’s a lot to choose from. So, members of the jury, visit, and please let me know your verdict in the comments below. 

Until next time, stay out of trouble or “I’ll see you in court!”

Your humble defender,

Spike
