Move over Grocery Store Joe, because there’s a hell of a lot more reasons to visit Windy City than for our favourite bachelor-turned-TV-personality Chicago native. A city that's more than just Big Bean’s home and a population of charming accents, Chicago has a lot to offer as North America’s fifth largest metropolis. They’ve got silent parties, comedy bars, Italian pizza that actually tastes like Italian pizza, and the epic chance to do all of those things for a discounted price.
That's all because of Groupon, obviously. Cheers to you, Groupon. A website that finds all of the best deals happening in any city, we set out to find all of the best deals happening in Chicago. With savings that include tours to China and discounted hair removal sessions, here’s our complete and compiled list of the best Chicago Groupons that you and your friends should take advantage of this November.

Savings: $16 (41% off)
Why You Should Go: I’ll be honest with you, I’m always a little disappointed whenever I enter a club in Toronto and hear the repetitive Drake playlist playing in the home of the 6ix God. A solution?
