Soon to open Chicago area Taco Bell to serve alcohol

[47of74]

Tacos and alcohol. Yummy.

What wine pairs best with a quesarito?

You'll be able to find out for yourself this summer. Taco Bell has confirmed earlier reports that the soon-to-open Wicker Park location, at 1439 N. Milwaukee Ave., will serve beer, wine and boozy "freezes," according to a spokesperson for the brand.

Don't get any ideas about to-go cups, though. Alcoholic drinks will be served to eat-in customers only, in a different cup than virgin drinks so employees know if anyone is trying to sneak one out the door.

The new location is also getting a serious makeover compared to its Taco Bell brethren. The interior, similar to designs launched at Taco Bells in Tokyo, Seoul and the U.K., will feature exposed brick walls, murals, communal tables with wooden stools and pops of accent colors such as bright purple and teal.

6. At the Great American Beer Festival in Denver. ..

The only thing left open on 16th St. After the festival closes is the Taco Bell. During that weekend you're more than likely to find me and lots of other festival patrons afterward, most likely drunk. A few tacos or burritos after that is always good.

Big deal.
