We're getting together at 8:00 pm on Thursday, Feb. 13th. As opposed to crowding the conference bar, we're headed to a place recommended by the Hilton concierge, a 0.3 mile, 5-minute walk from the hotel: Jimmy Green's. Lots of craft beers on tap (gluten free options, too), workable wine list, food, etc.
Jimmy Green's @ 825 S. State St. 60605, http://jimmygreens.com/
