Oscar Parties

To Do in Chicago: The Oscars Are a Drag

We toggled with the 10 Pin Bowling Lounge's OpenTable system for a bit, and it seems lanes are sold out for tonight, but you can still drop by the bar at the Chicago bowling alley for an Oscars party on Sunday. Starting at 7 p.m., they'll be humiliating dressing up the waiters, airing the show on eight HD screens, and holding a best-dressed contest. There will be drink and food specials, including a Babel couscous which we're sure we've seen promoted by more than one party already.

As an alternative, there's no cover for the Dreamgirls-themed party at Kit Kat Lounge on Sunday, where you can get your kitsch on and start watching the Oscars at 7 p.m. (on five jumbo screens). A troupe of drag queens will be performing songs from Dreamgirls, and you can down half-price martinis all night.
