Follow Me on Friday to the Poitin Stil

July 23, 2015

Dear Neighbor,

Join me for a touch of Ireland in Rogers Park this Friday, July 24th, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m., as I pay a return visit to a genuine Irish pub.  Follow Me on Friday to Poitin Stil,1502 W. Jarvis (at Greenview).

Poitin Stil’s owner, Ted Ries, is offering a complimentary drink of your choice and I’m serving up some delicious corned beef sandwiches!

In years past, Ted hosted my Follow Me on Friday events around St. Patrick’s Day. This year, we’re stopping by in July to kick off the pub’s 10th anniversary celebration! That’s right, it’s been 10 years since Poitin Stil first opened its doors. Since then, it has served as one of the Poitin_Stillinchpins in the revitalization of the Jarvis Square business district.

Whether or not you’re Irish, you’ll feel like you’re in Galway at this authentic Irish pub. The name (pronounced “poo-chine still”) is Gaelic for moonshine.  It’s a relaxed, fun and unpretentious neighborhood pub with a great mix of people.  Look for the maroon shades of Galway’s home team colors.

Join me Friday night and then come back again the next day, Saturday, July 25th, for an all-day block party (10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.) on the 1500 block of Jarvis. Poitin Stil will be marking 10 years of fun, friends and great memories with pool and bags tournaments, a dunk tank, and live musical and comedy acts.

“Follow Me on Friday” is one of my efforts to encourage my constituents to sample some of the 49th Ward’s finest restaurants, pubs and businesses.  Each week on my Facebook page, I post the name and location of aSt_Patricks_Day_Beer local restaurant, pub or business where I’ll be hanging out after work on Friday.  The establishment offers specials for all my Facebook followers and their friends. It’s a great opportunity for you to check out one of the fine local 49th Ward businesses you may not have1279249371_gossip_birds visited before.
