PARTY: Pearl Tavern Opening
VENUE: Pearl Tavern, 180 N. Wacker Drive
DATE: Saturday, January 18th
THE LURE: This place is sickeningly chic! With velvet banquets and brass fixtures, the design of the new Pearl Tavern is something to write home about. And that’s even before you’ve even slurped an oyster! For it’s opening, the new seafood outpost—with the help of bubbly PR rep Monika Dixon and 100 Days of Summer star Vincent Anzalone’s Genuine Entertainment— welcomed 200 eager Chicago scene-seekers to experience the new restaurant. Missed your invite? Not to worry, Pearl Tavern has you covered: Now through January 30th, the Loop’s new must-stop is offering complimentary oyster tastings (more details in G&F Datebook). It just keeps getting better. >>
