like to look at tall building, do one of the architecture river tours. Cubby Bear was cool, even for a Sox fan. I don't think they had a Celtic style beer list though.

I even took it out to Northwestern U one time (visiting college campuses is something I like to do).
Wrigleyville is awesome in every direction. Chicago pizza, about 2 slices is all you can handle at once.
Sears Tower or Hancock Bldg - amazing to be that daggum high up and still be in a building. Hopefully a clear smog-free day - that makes a whale of a difference view-wise.
If you're feeling really weird, try finding scenes from The Blue Brothers movie.

I'd research it. Some will say to go, some will say to avoid it. Do independent research and make your own decision on Al's Beef.

there. They leave from the Navy Pier and are awesome if the weather cooperates. Gives you great perspective of the city, although I don't know how much they cost.
