Gotta chew on this, but will try to

Are you in town for Rush? I'll be there Monday evening.

For WC, I would say find a comfy spot near where you are staying or where you are gonna be, there should be no shortage of options. Chicago is a pretty football-friendly city and I wonder if I recommended the well-known EPL places, they'd just be overrun. Considering your location, Prime Time Bar and Grill (Albany Park) might be worth checking out.

For concerts, I've had no trouble parking southbound on Ogden just north of Jackson on the street. It's free! Did this for Adam Sandler and a few other sold out shows at the UC recently.

Don't hesitate with Malört! It's better when you can truly savor it.

As for the rest? I'll chew on it a bit.
