Special thanks to Luis Arroyave for naming The Underground the number one spot in Chicago, and for naming our other property Rockit River North as the number four most likely place to spot a celebrity in the month of June.
Thanks to the Vince Vaughn comedy shooting in Chicago, the Blackhawks’ nightly Stanley Cup celebrations and the warmer weather, June was a big month for celebrity sightings in Chicago. Here’s a look at which spots attracted the most — and biggest — celebs in June in my latest edition of the About Last Night Rankings:
1. THE UNDERGROUND
Celebs: John Mayer, Channing Tatum, Boston Celtics’ Paul Pierce, Outkast rapper Big Boi, Jay Cutler, Patrick Kane, ex-“Girls Next Door” star Bridget Marquardt.
May ranking: Not ranked
The entire Hawks team 24 hours after their Stanley Cup victory and visits from Mayer and Tatum? We have a winner.4. ROCKIT BAR & GRILL/RIVER NORTH
Celebs: Jeremy Piven, “Hills” star Audrina Patridge, Lupe Fiasco, Kane, Lee, Cubs’ Randy Wells, White Sox GM Kenny Williams, N.E.R.D.’s Chad Hugo.
May ranking: Best of the rest
You can usually count on a Piven sighting at Rockit when he’s in town, but you probably already knew that.
