A lot of people your age hang out at Navy Pier on like, Friday and Sat. nights.... I just turned 21 so trust me Stan!!! GOD i have gotten really inventive having fun in the summer here, since clubs are my kind of atmosphere...
If you have some $$$ on you on Thursday nite, the Keg in evanston does not card. Well ok they do, but eveyrone in there is like high school age and you can give the guy 10$$$ at the door and he'll let you in.
I also have friends that work at some really cool bars downtown- PM me if you want me to give them a call and see what they can do

That's total BS about the keg
. I've been there a few times and each time, they carded hard. They were all Northwestern kids and no high school kids so maybe things have changed from when you went.
Stan, there's few places that don't card. You're pretty much screwed when it comes to that dude. There are places on the south side that you sorta can try getting into without getting carded, but I wouldn't be there without a car. If you're interested look into the Checkerboard Lounge. They are closing soon so i don't know how long they'll be around for.
I take it you don't have a car so basically you're stuck downtown or the north side. Take in the sights downtown if you're looking for touristy stuff. There isn't too much shit at navy pier and a lot of high school kids are there. I guess it's cool if you're into young blonde girls with accents that all go to the same catholic schools and are somehow all related.
Take a bus or train for 15 minutes from downtown and you can be on the north side. Nice yuppy people there or just lots of gays. Parts of it are just like Hollywood or Melrose, with cool shops but just that whole bizarre alternative culture and other parts are "I'm not quite cool enough to live in the upper east side of NY so let me dominate the midwest scene."

--Your best bet might be drinking it up at the hotel with your bros and then going to the pier or the beach...possibly Wrigleyville up North.
