So Many Bars. So Little Guilt.
Tap Into BAPA, the Beverly Area Planning Association’s pub crawl fund raiser is a great way to do what you can (or bottle) to support our community. On Sat., Nov. 10, neighbors who love Beverly/Morgan Park can raise a glass at their favorite Western Avenue watering hole and know that they are imbibing for a good cause. Funds raised at the pub crawl will be invested in BAPA’s work in our community.
Neighbors and friends age 21 and up are invited to join the fun. Among the pubs that will be serving drink specials during one-hour stops are Barney Callaghan’s, Dingers, Open Outcry and O’Rourke’s Office. More taps are being added! People can join the crawl at any time by starting at that hour’s location. Admission is by donation: $25 in advance or $30 at the door. For more information or advance tickets, visit www.bapa.org.
