The plan had been to add Palatine to the crawl this year, but due to the size of our group it didn’t work out. You may also notice that some of our past stops aren’t on the route this year—we’re just too big. Good problem to have.

Heads up, PCNW Nation! Great success at Moretti's of Edison Park last year, so let's do it again.  It's just a few yards from the train station for those of us who want (need?) to start before noon.  Please note that while Moretti's has plenty of tables for those who don't mind sitting down, there is limited space in the bar area.
Drink Specials: TBD

EMERALD ISLE	6686 N. Northwest Hwy. (between Oliphant & Oxford Ave) Chicago, IL 60631 773-775-2848
Crawl on over to a place big enough for the whole PCNW crew...our beloved Emerald Isle we've been to all 5 years.  Plenty of space, friendly staff, and they're offering us some exclusive specials!

Stop #4. 3:15 - 4:30
Blues Bar	2 West Busse Avenue Mount Prospect, IL 847.788.9977
You survived the grueling 3 block walk.  You deserve a beer.  Or maybe you grabbed a quick one at Mrs. P's - naughty! Not an official stop, cuz it's too darn small...we'll see you at the Blues Bar!.

This year the crawl officially ends at 6.  Crawlers are invited to catch the 6:11 train to points further up the line.
DRINK SPECIALS: $9 Pitchers, $5 Bombs & free pizza!!!

Y.O.T.I. is our last official stop on the PCNW this year, crawlers are welcome to visit other establishments or catch the train to points further down the line.
