CROSSROADS Opening Reception

Fri at 7pm · Chicago
Hardscrabble Café presents CROSSROADS, a solo exhibition by Steve ‘Stingo’ Badauskas featuring over 30 drawings, paintings, and sculptures. CROSSROADS runs from July 17 to August 14, 2026 at Inside Town Art Collective. CROSSROADS will unveil a large cache of Badauskas’ abstract pieces in a variety of mediums, shown publicly for the first time. Generally in pen and marker, other pieces employ paints–watercolor and oils–with the casual found art object assembled from ephemera and leftover supplies. Hardscrabble Café is delighted to parade a rich timeline of Badauskas’ work, in full appreciation of his macabre sense of humor and striking visual aesthetic, saturated in the charming perspective of a lifelong Chicagoan. CROSSROADS is on view from Friday, July 17 through August 14 at Inside Town Art Collective @insidetown 1954 S. Troy St. 3rd Floor. Contact us at cafehardscrabble@gmail.com to visit outside the opening.

Designer-led experiential tasting night

Fri, Aug 14 at 7pm · Chicago
Looking to meet new people with a spoon? Join us for an intimate dining experience in Chicago where guests collaborate to eat, and laugh over intentionally quirky utensils. I am a designer behind Spoon For Two, and I create playful, experiential dining moments using creative cutlery designed to bring people together. This event is built to stop solo eating and spark shared laughter and conversation. I design each experience to be fun, surprising, and unconventional, but most importantly, I try to make it memorable and fun for you to meet new people. If you're looking for good food, great company, and a fun Friday night, I would love for you to join us. What to Expect - Four-course tasting menu - Craft Non-Alcoholic Beverage & Tea - Homemade International Dessert Our menu is inspired by Central Asian Cuisine, and will be prepared by my mom, who’s been a chef for over 20 years. To cover the cost of the Ravenswood venue and the ingredients, tickets are $50. I truly wanted to keep the price as accessible as possible while still delivering a memorable, high-quality evening for everyone. Food allergies If you have any food allergies, please let us know beforehand so we can prepare accordingly for our options:) Who is the event for? While the doors are open to everyone, this specific night is tailor-made for the 21–35 crowd. If you appreciate art and design, love a unique concept, and are down for an interactive experience, you’re in the right place. Ticket Policy & Community Etiquette: I plan the night and food based on exact headcount. Therefore, unfortunately, I cannot offer refunds for cancellations. If you can't make it, give your spot to a friend! Just a quick heads-up: By purchasing a ticket, you're agreeing to our event terms, which include consent for audio and video recording. We might capture some great moments!

When Mike finds one of those people dying in the woods and is given the only known copy of the liquor's formula to exist, he has to decide if he can return it to the monastery that keeps it safe or die trying. We can promise you won’t get any cheaper cocktails than these on a Friday night in Chicago! Can’t make it? We do this every month! Follow @thelastword.show on all platforms for more :)

To get a feel for the book, here's the jacket description: "This philosophical tale follows the misadventures of the naive protagonist Candide as he travels the world, experiencing terrible misfortunes that challenge his optimistic worldview."

The Perpetual Book Club - The Ha-Ha

Thu, Jul 30 at 6pm · Chicago
Please join us to discuss The Ha-Ha by Jennifer Dawson. Originally published in 1961, The Ha-Ha follows Josephine as she experiences a breakdown while studying at Oxford and spends the next several months in a mental institution. Influenced by Dawson’s own experience in hospital as both patient and social worker, The Ha-Ha explores mental illness, the sense of belonging, and coming of age. “Highly original and deeply relatable, The Ha-Ha is a radiant and powerful work that shines an unflinching light on darker places.” - Claire-Louise Bennett Available for purchase in store. Come hang and chat books with us.
