Cunneen's Bar

. . . and whatever else you do, don’t go looking for beer in homes where you don’t live.

Money quote from today’s Sun-Times:

A thirsty thief stabbed a man with a corkscrew after he burst into two Bucktown apartments in search of beer in the early hours of Saturday, authorities say.

Hotel event coordinator Tim Snyder, 36, forced his way into a building on the 1300 block of North Dean around 4 a.m., Assistant Cook County State’s Attorney Aileen Bhandari said.

He headed straight for the fridge in one apartment, then punched a man and left when he couldn’t find any beer, Bhandari said.

Hate to think about what hotel this guy coordinates events for: the Bates Motel, maybe?

Wine makes a man better pleased with himself; I do not say that it makes him more pleasing to others.

That applies double for beer when you’re looking for it in someone else’s house.

Y’all

You may notice if you check out our Neighborhood Arts and Culture section that there are some great plays up right now in Rogers Park. Go see Count of Monte Cristo at Lifeline while you still can-and they’ve extended to November 13 based on enthused audiences and great reviews.

And at Theo Ubique (at the No Exit on Glenwood, just a block north of Lifeline) Starting Here, Starting Now, a musical that’s gotten great reviews.

Check ‘em out, then come to Cunneen’s for a drink after.
