If your idea of romance includes Lloyd Dobbler and/or Lita Ford...
For the folks at Pub & Kitchen (1946 Lombard St.), it doesn't get better than John Hughes era teen romance a la Pretty Pink/Sixteen Candles/Some Kind of Wonderful. This Valentine's Day P&K is taking it back to the era of acid wash, big hair and Bartles and Jaymes with an 80s prom-themed party starting at 8 p.m. on Friday, February 14th.
Along with a DJ playing all of your favorites from Flock of Seagulls and OMD, P&K is mixing up $5 Hawaiian punch and setting up a photo booth (complete with retro backdrop) for 80s-clad couples to forever commemorate this sure to be totally romantic evening. And as an added bonus the best dressed dude and lady at the party will win $200 bar tabs.
