A ghost tour and pub crawl in one, led by a costumed guide through Lincoln Park and Lakeview with stops at several bars along the way (drinks are at your own expense). The stories run from John Dillinger’s ghost in the alley beside the Biograph to the Red Lion, which the listing calls one of Chicago’s most famous haunted bars. Guests must be 21 or over.
