About this site

The Boozy Beggar is a sometimes deep, sometimes shallow dive into the food and beverage scene of Chicago, IL. We focus on independent bars and restaurants, pop-up events, and how all that ties into the community. Cocktail recipes, food recipes, and highlights of releases from favorite local brands round out the articles here. Aiming for one or two pieces a week mixed into snapshots and shorter posts.

I work for a brewery for my day job. Their beer will likely appear here at times, when we are doing work that intersects with our community, mutual aid, and so on.
