Lock and load, bar hunter! You've found a place on Time Out Chicago's list of best bars in Chicago. Here's to hoping you're not wearing camo pants.

It can't be just any bar on the list. It may have to be 4 different types of bars. Let me look at my venues. I had to play around with this one to get it.

JR1

That is intreasting to know. I got it by starting off at the first bar on their page and working my way down. As soon as i hit the 4th one it unlocked. But i did unlock it back in early dec 2010 dunno if anything has changed.

my venues were:
https://foursquare.com/venue/44477
https://foursquare.com/venue/45053
https://foursquare.com/venue/7757
https://foursquare.com/venue/7633

Tymora

ok it wasn't the different types of bars thing like I thought but I also started off just going down the list and that didn't work for me. To get it to unlock in only 4 check ins I had to use the 3 venues below plus Delilah's (which is on your list).

Any specific time ? .....

JR1

In testing this badge I have unlocked it at several diffrent times of the day as well as looking on twitter there are unlocks all day long on this badge so time should not matter at all.

Beerknurd

@FrikiConsola No, I don't think there are any specific times...

FrikiConsola

thankssss for the answer

Only I have to post the checkin in twitter

ElmiSawal

Thank you Beerknurd....it works for me by following the venues...

Definitely confirm that you have to be posting your checkins to twitter for this to unlock the badge

iamc

@jdlc330230 I got it without tweeting my check-ins. Badges unlock without using twitter :)

This badge now has a retired banner on it.

JR1

Thanks.. There are about 6 badges that just got retired banners.. I am working on testing them all now so we can know for sure if they are retired or not before we move the badge category.
