Monday Night Foodball returns tonight with a special menu from chef Won Kim of Bridgeport’s Korean-Polish restaurant Kimski, who is back in town and in the kitchen after a well-deserved five-month sabbatical. Read Reader senior writer Mike Sula’s preview here and join in the delicious fun at Kedzie Inn (4100 N. Kedzie); walk-in orders start tonight at 5 PM. (SCJ)

Tonight the Kehrein Center for the Arts (5628 W. Washington) offers a Family Holiday Community Musical featuring skits, songs, and videos created by community members (youth and adults alike), along with special guest performances by Chicago Multi-Cultural Dance Center and the Hiplet Ballerinas. Doors open at 6 PM, dinner is at 6:15 PM, and the performances will run 7-8:30 PM. Tickets are free, but reservations suggested at kehreincenter.com. (KR)

Free Mondays at the Empty Bottle (1035 N. Western) are always a treat, but tonight’s lineup is especially good: Beastii, Miniskirt, and Clickbait. Okay, if I’m being honest, I can’t speak much to Beastii and Miniskirt (sorry!), but wow, Clickbait is incredible live. Their energy is relentlessly fun, and their singer commands the crowd with vicious vocals, a sly strut, and enormous cymbals. When I saw Clickbait open for Automatic, they easily upstaged the band. They took the audience so high that everything afterward felt like an intense come down, and while I’ve only seen them a few times, I have never been disappointed. If you are 21 or older, do not miss the chance to see them for free! The show starts at 8:30 PM. (MC)
