As I think most of you are aware, TONIGHT may be one of the most important night's in Trivia history! We're ALL very excited about it and have put a TON of work into making sure this is the kind of trivia night that MANY PEOPLE will be talking about for decades. I can't help but feel incredibly emotional right now after everything that has been made to happen for this event that happens tonight. THE GAME STARTS AT 7:30P. You should arrive at 7p to secure your seating. And, like all the other SERIOUS players, you should probably arrive around 5:30p and start laying down a nice, greasy, base layer so your mind is agile and angular and ready to take the nerds by storm. John Vernon Forbes is behind the bar waxing his income tax and making names. Free dumb is just another weird when nothings left of you. #Chicago #ibwlodge1 #chicagobeer #illinoiscraftbeer #drinklocal #norwoodpark #enjoywithpeopleyoutrust #trivia #tuesdaytrivianights #MrKing

Tonight, Saturday June 28th, we've got another FREE LIVE SHOW at our troubled little beer hovel. Good lord, there's 4 bands playing, and it appears one of them hails from some kind of mysterious land named after snack cakes! Come by and see us tonight. And why not stop by this afternoon, too? We open at 2pm for service. Emily will be behind the bar punching up your attitudes for tips. #Chicago #ibwlodge1 #chicagobeer #illinoiscraftbeer #drinklocal #norwoodpark #enjoywithpeopleyoutrust

Today until JULY 3RD, all GAY AGENDA t-shirts and tanks are only $20 (plus tax) when you buy it at IBW Lodge #1 and purchase a beer. What a great deal! What a fine beer! What a fantastic shirt! #Chicago #ibwlodge1 #chicagobeer #illinoiscraftbeer #drinklocal #norwoodpark #enjoywithpeopleyoutrust #gayagenda

IT'S TUESDAY which means its time for TUESDAY TRIVIA NIGHT once again. Get here by 7pm to secure your seat. The water sports start at 7:30! John Vernon Forbes is here to deny you service and sharpen your paws. As always, mind the gap. #Chicago #ibwlodge1 #chicagobeer #illinoiscraftbeer #drinklocal #norwoodpark #enjoywithpeopleyoutrust #trivia #tuesdaytrivianights #trustlager #mrking

HUGE thanks and gratitude to @dmnology for his incredible gift of mad talents and SIIIICK graffiti art on our walk-in cooler. The photo doesn't even do this proper justice. And, yes, that is a whole bevy of little people in a whole bevy of ecstatic states down there at the base of the pyramid. And, hey, thanks to all of you FAN-FUCKING-TASTIC humans who came out last night to celebrate PRIDE and LOVE and LIGHT and JOY. Your big hearts are making the world a more livable place. Keep those fiery hearts burning!!! John Vernon Forbes is BACK... AGAIN... for THREE DAMN DAYS IN A ROW... behind the bar at the Lodge today. Come by and take a break from this godforsaken heat with an icy cold beer and show your gratitude to him with a HUGE TIP that will help him off-set the costs of all the pizza and orange soda he's going to require to recover from this epic run. XOOXOXOXOXOXO #Chicago #ibwlodge1 #chicagobeer #illinoiscraftbeer #drinklocal #norwoodpark #enjoywithpeopleyoutrust #chicagograffiti #chicagograffitiart #gayagenda #chicagogaypride #chicagopride

THIS SATURDAY IS GONNA BE A BIGGIN'!!! Starting at 2pm, me and J will be making Smash Burgers in the parking lot with our friends over at @winestylesnorwoodpark . Bring the kids, bring the dogs, bring the money and spend it on Smash Burgers and Beer or Wine. It should be a beautiful day, why not enjoy it with friends and neighbors? And then around 8pm we're going to kick off the GAY AGENDA PARTY with DJ WAX DISASTERS spinning his NO GENRE ALL VINYL collection. He's a wizard and will get all of all of your asses shaking. All of them, too! And then, J is doing his damn best to MacGyver a pump so we can have a FOAM PARTY out back. Come celebrate LOVE in all of its beautiful shapes, sizes, interests and scenarios and leave the small-minded armoring bullshit for the stone ages begone. Be a champ and gussy up! Leather? Rainbows? Fur? Furry? Pony? Whatever floats your fancy, just show up with an open heart and let's do this! #Chicago #ibwlodge1 #chicagobeer #illinoiscraftbeer #drinklocal #norwoodpark #enjoywithpeopleyoutrust #gayagenda #smashburgers #chicagopride2025
