Hello all!
Coming down from Montreal...

What Pubs/Neighbourhoods/Spots should I be hitting on saturday and sunday night?
Have been googling - but still not sure.
ANY suggestions would be fantastic!

Wrigley bars are fun. Some of the touristy spots in the Rush/Division area like Mother's and Hangge Uppe are always a good time on a Saturday night. Enjoy!
Take the subway to State/Lake. All kinds of stuff in that area and easy to get to/from wherever you are in Chicago

Really depends on what you're looking for, what kind of crowd, etc.
Am also gonna hit Buddy Guy's and the like, any other suggestions as far as the must-visit Blues-bars/rock bar type places?
"David Bowie Is"- the only place in US showing it!! It's a must see..... :bz
Peace Love & Pearl Jam forever!!
not too far is Wicker Park (Damen blue line stop), where a lot of cool kids and people who want to be seen hang out. Emporium is a barcade, with lots of video and pinball games and a solid selection of craft beers. as far as food goes, Big Star tacos is popular, as well as Piece pizzeria and brewery (co-owned by Rick Nielsen of Cheap Trick). saturday night is fun there because it's karaoke night and it can get ludicrous real fast.
Other great places to eat around the city are Kuma's Corner, with massive burgers and loud Metal being blasted from the speakers, the Little Goat has some really fucking tasty breakfast dishes, and Pequod's deep dish pizza gives Lou Malnati's a run for their money as best traditional Chicago-style pizza. You also can't beat the Billy Goat Tavern for its history and location. For great beer/whiskey my favorites are the Map Room (laid-back, National Geographic mags on the walls), Delilah's (old punk rock whiskey bar), and the new-ish Temperance Brewing tap room in Evanston.
There is way too much to do in this town.
