Maude's Liquor Bar and Leopold Open Tonight; Wave's Valentine's Day Cooking Class

WEST LOOP—Need a little rustic French? Maude's Liquor Bar opens tonight on Randolph. As we noted last week, this place is going to be super hot. [EaterWire]

WEST TOWN—Want some rustic Belgian? Pop over to Leopold, which also officially opens tonight. Since they haven't yet secured a liquor license (they'll hopefully get by next week) enjoy chef Jeff Hedin delicious Belgian-influenced country fare and bring your best bottle since it's currently BYO.

STREETERVILLE—If you're looking to make a romantic dinner for your Valentine's luv-ah, sign up now for the Feb. 12 "heart-y" cooking class with Wave exec chef Kristine Subido. The $65 two-hour class includes a multi-course cooking demo and then lunch where you'll feast on that food. It includes a welcome cocktail and wine pairings during lunch. Um, maybe you should just bring your honey to the class. [EaterWire]
