There is a Meetup at:

Atlas Brewing Company
2747 North Lincoln Avenue, Chicago, IL

Atlas Brewing Company in Chicago's Lincoln Park Neighborhood has agreed to accept Bitcoin on a trial basis on the evening of Tuesday January 7th, 2014.
Bring your coins to show your support for this local merchant to accept Bitcoin!
You will be able to pay for your food and beverages with Bitcoin.
Contact jonathan@chicagomint.com for more info!

Starts at 7pm. This is the 1st bar/restaurant that I know of to start accepting BTC.

Does anyone else know of a bar/restaurant in the Chicago area that accepts BTC?
I'd love to know if there is!

This Meetup is is sponsored by "The Chicago Bitcoin Meetup" group at meetup.com

That is fantastic news. I've been trying to get other businesses to accept BTC here but most of them either: 1. Think bitcoins are used only by drug dealers. 2. See no point in accepting something different. 3. Too complicated.

I'll be there and contact my Chicago bitcoin customers to come as well.
