CHICAGO (CBS) — Nearly 54 percent of Chicagoans are fully vaccinated against COVID-19, according to city data, while more than 70 percent of adults in the city have received their first shot.
Now, as CBS 2’s Marissa Parra reported Sunday, a growing number of city businesses are starting to require proof of vaccination before entry.(snip)
Sidetrack, 3349 N. Halsted St.; Roscoe’s Tavern, 3356 N. Halsted St., and D.S. Tequila, 3352 N. Halsted St., all require visitors to get vaxxed to enjoy the perks. Sidetrack and Roscoe’s will also accept a negative COVID-19 test within the past 72 hours, but D.S. Tequila – among many other venues – will accept proof of vaccination only.
At both locations of Uncommon Ground, at 3800 N. Clark St. in Lakeview and 1401 W. Devon Ave. in Edgewater, the options are to present proof of vaccination or to wear a mask.
“Show us a vaccine card, a good picture of it on your phone, or the CLEAR app,” said Uncommon Ground owner Michael Cameron. “If you are vaccinated, come on in – eat, drink, dine, enjoy yourself If you’re not – or most people forget to bring their card and they tell you that they’re vaccinated – but we require that they wear a mask.”
For Cameron, the signs were there that it was time to put up some signs with some rules.
“You could kind of see it coming – you see like New York doing it and then San Francisco – and then I’m like, all right, Chicago seems to get, you know, in the middle of that maybe a day or two later. Everybody’s kind of talking to each other about what’s going to happen,” Cameron said. “So we decided, OK, let’s just roll it out.”

Brilliant business strategy. /sarc
Maybe Cameron is a trust fund baby, and doesn't need the money anyway. He can afford to virtue signal.
I guess speakeasies will make a comeback in Chicago.
Someone should dust off Al and Frank’s playbooks.
Chicago already has a major gang problem.
Creating a need for a new black market will just make it a lot worse.
The black market is the real market when the leftists over-reach.
Get the shot, or get shot?
our kids at the office already photoshopped the vaxx cards. No biggie. We’re a Hollywood post production company and we can re-create anything..
Easy solution. Just drink at home. No worrying about DUI. And when the bars start losing money, they’ll start to petition Mayor Beetlejuice to allow customers in without being vaccinated.
How closely are these businesses examining the vax card? Asking for a friend.
They want to lose business, let the dumasses lose!
LOL. A question that had to be asked.
It won’t bother me much personally at this point…. I quit going to bars years ago but this can’t be a good business model.
The fear is strong…and deep…and fake.
AOC is probably thinking “I was ahead of my time. At my bar in NY I would have told our bouncers to give those Deplorable anti-vax guys a brutal going over. Too late.”
Clowny McClownfaces...
Would it help to wear one of those funny T shirts “I’ve Had My Two Shots” with 2 alcoholic drink glasses?
Maybe not. No sense of humor around these days.
“More And More Chicago Bars, Restaurants, And Other Businesses Are Requiring COVID-19 Vaccination For Entry”
Nature abhors a vacuum. People will find other alternatives.
Looks to me like Chicago businesses have found a legal way to discriminate against people of color.
I had to resize mine to fit in my wallet, and it looks like a perfect reproduction. Photoshopping would be so easy.
The damn things aren’t photo ID cards with holograms. At least not yet.
So I imagine if your friend has some semi-legible chicken scratch written on it, then s/he would be good to go. It’ll help if it’s printed on properly sized cardstock as well.
I think they’ll glimpse at it, wave your friend in and move on.
That’s why I laugh at Freepers who dont have a creative side. I already used my “vaxx card” a few times, even at a restaurant here in L.A. a few nights back. They just look at it and in you go LOL. They forgot something: We are supposed to show a vaxx card right? I didnt hear nor read anything stating it had to be real (snicker)
