A mixer event called Tech cocktail is going on tonight. It sounds like a fun way to meet other techies & entrepreneurs here in Chicago.
1 tiny problem, they’re holding the event at a 21 and over bar. 3 of my co-workers won’t be able to attend because they are under 21.
There are plenty of combination restaurant/bar spots in Chicago that card at the bar rather than at the door Many entrepreneurial minded people are under 21, it’s pretty lame to exclude them.
UPDATE: Check out Frank Gruber’s response. We’ll come out to Tech cocktail tonight, if they don’t let our group in because of my co-workers’ age (20), we’ll just hang out in Wrigleyville.
UPDATE2: We didn’t go. The idea of getting turned away didn’t sound terribly appealing.

Thanks for the feedback, we appreciate it. Maybe we need to start a TECH kiddie-cocktail too. Sorry to exclude them, we would love to have them too, but 21 is the Illinois law. Hope to see ya tonight.
Best,
