Liquor. For free. (or cheap.)

myopenbar.com (Chicago link) is a dandy little site that lets you know where to score free and/or cheap eats and/or drinks on any given night in your area (assuming 'your area' = NYC, SF, LA, Honolulu, Miami, or the aforementioned Chi-town). The places are rated, and visited personally by the website's bloggers, but who cares? It's free booze.

The site's been given as the answer in a few AskMes, but I figured an FPP couldn't hurt.

I like the idea a lot, but many of the descriptions aren't very clear about exactly what is free and/or cheap.

Someone should figure out how to integrate the site with MeFi meetup planning.

Free to the freeloader, but someone is paying for that open bar.

The free aspect is nice, but for cheap food/drinks anywhere in Chicago (or D.C., Baltimore, or Milwaukee) I prefer DrinkTown
