Join TAP-Chicago, YNPN, and 100+ new and old friends for our February happy hour at The Grid, one of the newest venues in River North. We have reserved half of the bar space with two of their famous ventless fireplaces floating atop massive leather booths and a state of the art Funktion-one speaker system. The Grid’s rustic décor, exposed brick and vintage timber ceilings provide an amazingly unique and intimate setting. A perfect spot to relax fireside after a long day of work.
TAP-Chicago members will be pairing up with children from Horizons for Youth (grades K-7) as they explore the miniature city and explore a variety of careers by role-playing.
The bad news: due to a scheduling conflict, Howl at the Moon is not able to host our event.
The good news: our new venue is the brand new 3rd floor gallery space at Hubbard Inn, which is a huge upgrade in style, quality, and comfort compared to our original location. We are pleased to announce the revised details for our December Holiday Party and Toy Drive! (more…)
All the real badass NFL teams play outdoor in the snow! This is your chance to be as badass as Briggs, Urlacher, Suggs, Von Miller, JPP, oh, and Sam Gordon (for the ladies out there). Join TAP-Chicago for a fun-filled night of coed flag football…in the snow! (But with my luck, it’s going to be nice, sunny, and only slightly chilly.) We made a few changes to the rules. These rules are designed to facilitate a fun, female friendly game, and a good workout. Please ask if anything is unclear. (more…)
Join us for a fun, casual get-together! Meet other members while you un-“wine”d by tasting different delicious wines and desserts. You’ll also have a chance to hear from 5 members about their experiences with TAP-Chicago.
