Want a way to save some money, but not sacrifice your precious party time? Head to MaxBar's weekly Friday night "F*ck the Recession" (their asterisk, not ours) party. The Lincoln Park club offers drinks for a buck all night, and their "famous" (their word, not ours) $500 money drop on the dance floor at midnight.
So, let's recap: Cheap drinks and free money on the dance floor? Partying was never so prosperous!
Recession busters!
