No matter where your candidate stands, one thing’s for sure: We could use a cocktail. Celebrate or console yourself with some great Wednesday drink deals at these bars.
Fizz
Prepare for the next election by offering a sacrifice to the volcano gods at Sneaky Tiki Wednesdays. Sacrificial Virgins, zombies and mojitos are all on the menu, but the big deal comes in the form of a $6 16-ounce mai tai and a $9 pina colada served in a real pineapple. 3220 N. Lincoln Ave. 773-348-6088.
My Bar
After a long, anxious night in front of the tube, you may want to scream, “PBR me ASAP!” Head to this West Lakeview dive, where classic, all-American Pabst Blue Ribbon drafts are only a quarter. 3555 N. Ashland Ave. 773-296-1770.
The Blue Iguana
Just like campaign promises, 25 cent chicken wings are for suckers. This Lakeview hang is serving its wings for a mere 15 cents. You don’t need fuzzy math to add up the savings when you throw in $1 domestics and $2 imports. 2909 N. Sheffield Ave. 773-935-7500.
Red’s The New Generation
Regardless who won New York, you can still win Long Island at this South Side spot. Long Island iced teas are a mere $5 here. 6926 S. Stony Island Ave. 773-643-5100.
Tryst
Get rid of the bitter taste of defeat with $3 you-call-it drinks. When you grow weary of saying, “Oh, mix that pink bottle with the green bottle!” look to this Wrigleyville bar’s fancy $5 martini list. 3485 N. Clark St. 773-755-3980.
Spoon
Get to know a baron–well, at least a glass of the celebrated Baron Rothschild pinot noir–for only $4. Of course, you can always jump on Bill O’Reilly’s anti-France bandwagon and settle for $2 PBR bottles. 1240 N. Wells St. 312-642-5522.
Wild Goose Bar & Grill
Wednesday’s deal is sure to cheer anyone up: $2 domestic and $3 import drafts. Throw in 50 cent chili and $1 hamburgers, and you’ve got the next best thing to Xanax. 4265 N. Lincoln Ave. 773-281-7112.
DRINK THIS
Hot toddy, $6
Considering the turning weather and all of the election hoopla, it’s time for something warm and comforting. The Globe Pub’s new winter drink menu will definitely heat you up. We’re all over the hot toddy, a smooth blend of sugar, hot black tea, and whisky or brandy garnished with an orange or lemon slice dotted with cloves. Hey, that’s vitamin C! We won’t say this is good for you, but it might keep that nasty flu away. 1934 W. Irving Park Rd. 773-871-3757.
