Historic Bar Enthusiast

By night, the creator of the popular entertainment guide the Chicago Bar Project transforms into Chicago’s foremost authority on nightlife and tavern history, a figure so captivating that Dos Equis’ “Most Interesting Man in the World” lists Sean as a personal reference. After years of tireless “research,” Sean distilled his encyclopedic knowledge of local nightlife lore to write the definitive book on the historic bars of Chicago, aptly named, Historic Bars of Chicago.

Sean’s philanthropic endeavors include serving as a board member at People’s Music School, as Chairman of the AIESEC NIU Board of Advisors, and member of the AIESEC Northwestern Board of Advisors.

Sean is also a husband, father and Cubs fan, but don’t hold the latter against him.
