Cinco de Mayo: CHI Guide

Cinco de Mayo is like a bad ex that you love to hate, and hate to love. It’s OK. So if you must have that yearly fling, then by all means, you have our support and suggested venues for this encounter. The options below will maximize your Cinco pleasure whether you’re into sports, food, or fancy parties. The Mole de Mayo Festival is a win-win-win: mole, micheladas, and music. We highly recommend this dignified option to rock the sombrero. Calle 13 is a great excuse to share with others this otherwise nationalistic endeavor. And, if you want to keep it more traditional and spend it at a bar with good company, we got you covered with Scheme at the Darkroom or Temper, the monthly party at Beauty Bar.
