It is time to discover Chicagoland’s unique orchestra and chorus of attorneys and judges!
Piotr Ilych Tchaikovsky loved to spend summers at his sister’s house in Ukraine. He began composing his Second Symphony there in the summer of 1872, completing it later that year. Audiences loved it from the very first, but Tchaikovsky was dissatisfied, calling the first movement “difficult, noisy, disjointed and confused.” He revised the symphony extensively seven years later. Both Tchaikovsky and his audiences loved the new version, which we will play for you, amongst others, on February 28 (excerpt from the program notes by Pat Bronte).
The CBASO and CBA Chorus in Concert, under the direction of CBASO Music Director Jennifer Huang and featuring CBA Choral Director candidate Kirsten Hedegaard,includes Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 2, Music by Mozart, Schubert, Nicolai, and more.

Join us in Chicago for a playful, hands-on sensory workshop designed to help you explore flavors like never before. This event is perfect for food and beverage enthusiasts, home baristas, and curious eaters in the Windy City looking to sharpen their tasting skills and deepen their understanding of flavor.
Train your senses: smell and taste
In this workshop, you’ll learn how to isolate your sense of smell (olfaction) and taste (gustation) to better understand how it all works together. While we will be tasting some coffees, this experience goes far beyond coffee—it’s designed to help you identify aromas, detect flavor patterns, and explore your personal preferences, predispositions, and sensitivities across all foods and drinks.
Hands-on flavor adventures
Through guided exercises, interactive tastings, and playful experiments, you’ll practice your sensory skills in a fun, supportive environment. Learn to notice subtle notes, recognize flavor combinations, and refine your palate so that every bite—and sip—becomes more exciting.
Why you’ll love it
Whether you’re a Chicago-based foodie, home barista, or coffee enthusiast, Flavor Playground will elevate your tasting skills, expand your flavor vocabulary, and give you tools to enjoy food and drinks with more confidence and curiosity. Don’t miss this deliciously eye-opening Chicago experience!
Who are we and why should you join us?
Sip Society is Chicago’s hands-on coffee education community. We host skill-focused workshops, tastings, and training sessions for baristas, café teams, and dedicated home brewers who want to deepen their understanding of coffee through practice. We have over twenty years of experience, from opening cafes to now running Chicago’s first and only coffee playground.

WHY OUR CRAWL IS DIFFERENT??
Let’s be honest, Bar Crawls can be tricky on this highly concentrated holiday in Chicago. Most crawls provide “access” (only), but rely on the venue to be organized and honor each attendee. St. Paddy’s Afternoon Bar Crawl will have staff positioned to help you along the way, as well as diverse specials & offerings. We provide a long list of quality bars to accommodate your way to a great St. Paddy’s Day.
We do ask Attendees to read, follow instructions, and remain informed with updates for as smooth a holiday possible amongst the Chicago craze! ~ We’re in this together!

WRISTBAND CHECK-INS:
Everyone must check-in during dates and times (announced below) and pick up their wristbands in advance. One person can pick up for their group, but must have all ticket QR codes present. Must wear wristbands at all times!
WRISTBANDS CHECK-IN LOCATIONS:
Thursday Mar-12 @ BODEGA (West Loop) @ 912 W. Randolph – 5pm to 9pm
Friday Mar-13 @ ELECTRIC HOTEL @ 222 W. Ontario – 5pm to 9pm
Saturday Mar-14 @ READING ROOM @ 858 W. Lake – 8am to 5pm

Early Check In highly recommended!
VENUES WILL NOT ACCEPT BARCODE TICKETS! YOU MUST PICK UP WRISTBAND!

THERE ARE NO REFUNDS WHATSOVER:
Much like a sporting event or concert ticket, once purchased, the tickets are non-refundable for any reason. In the event you may not attend, you may gift or re-sell your tickets to someone else. Transferring your tickets are person-to-person and not through the organizer. The ticket(s) scanned at Wristband Pick-Up are the person(s) who will attend the crawl (no need for name changes). Buying Bar Crawl Tickets carry risk (especially in West Loop, Chicago) on the busiest of days. There are no refunds. There are no refunds for attendees who do not read or follow organizational instructions / updates for the event.

GETTING TO THE EVENT – PLEASE READ!: Please plan ahead for road closures and extra traffic in the area. The mid-level Columbus stairway is the ONLY way to get to the event. We recommend getting dropped off at the Sheraton Grand Chicago located at 301 E. North Water St. You will then walk south over the bridge to get to the mid-level Columbus Street stairway. Take that down to the Riverwalk and walk west away from the lake briefly until you see Northman on your left.
