DOWNTOWN — The Drafthouse is sponsoring a pub crawl before a showing of the pub-theme science fiction film The World's End. The film features an epic twelve-pub crawl, which "laws and common sense" hinder the Drafthouse from re-creating, but attendees will get to drink at The Ginger Man, Easy Tiger, and Chicago House before the show. The crawl will happen Sunday, September 1st, beginning at 4PM. [Eaterwire]
