Night life: Ease the pain with a Tax-tini

Posted April 13, 2011 12:00 am

Taxes and tequila

File those income taxes and forget how much you've shelled out to Uncle Sam with a Tax-tini in Texas de Brazil's Beijos Lounge in Schaumburg. The $7 drink brings together tequila, pomegranate liqueur and fresh pomegranate and lime juices. And if you get there between 5 and 7 p.m., check out the Happy Hour specials, including half-off appetizers in the bar. That offer, along with drink specials, is available all week long.

Texas de Brazil, 5 Woodfield Shopping Center, Schaumburg, (847) 413-1600.

Music at the Monkey

Swing on by the Bad Monkey Saturday to catch the music of T-BOS, The Ultimate 70s Rock Tribute Band. Get ready to rock to the tunes of ZZ Top, Foghat, Rod Stewart and Grand Funk Railroad when the band takes the stage at 9:30 p.m. There is a $5 cover.

The Bad Monkey, 1030 E. Algonquin Road, Algonquin, (847) 458-6902.

Say cheese

It's Nirvana, we know. Buy a wine flight Thursdays from 5 to 7 p.m. at Nirvana Wine Grillerie and get a complimentary artisan cheese plate to enjoy with it. Then, mellow out with the music of acoustic guitarist Alan Saltzman, who plays from 7 to 9 p.m. Thursdays at this Vernon Hills spot.

Nirvana Wine Grillerie, 701 N. Milwaukee Ave., Suite 280, Vernon Hills, (847) 918-7828, findmynirvana.com.
