Hipster Bars
So I'm wondering what the most hipster bars are in the city
I've been to the Rainbo Club, Skylark, the Burlington, Subterranean, the Hideout, etc. and I feel like I still haven't found the ultimate hipster bar, any recommendations?

i don't know, I felt really out of place at the Empty Bottle. i.e. I didn't feel artsy enough, my hair wasn't cool enough, i didn't have a guy with a cool mustache on my arm, and I wasn't wearing "cool" "vintage" clothes from the 80s.
is that what you're looking for?

You have hipsters and yuppies all in one place. I really like this place as my previous posts have indicated.

Actually, hipsters have taken over the bar area at the Michigan and Monroe Bennigan's. Go check it out. See and be seen!

Well, I don't see why not. It would make proper ironic mockery of the corporate Irish sports bar thing that big brother is constantly trying to bring down on us man.

Ah, I didn't appreciate that yours was a subversive critique of the corrupt power structure.  Carry on brother, cary on.
