The Apartment Bar / Club

Lincoln Park, Chicago –

Young party-lovers from all over Chicago feel right at home at The Apartment, at least judging by how they pack into this cover charge-free party spot on the few nights a week it’s open.

Tricked out in home décor, the second floor venue – owned and operated by the same guys behind The Lion Head Pub on the first floor – features a retro kitchen area-turned-bar complete with a fridge, bathtub, and other scattered appliances.

A moose head above the fake fireplace overlooks an active dance floor full of tipsy twenty-somethings, most of whom spend the night gyrating to DJ-driven hits beneath beams of bright psychedelic lights.

Velvety curtains hide a second room replete with wide couches that beckon to frisky couples as the night wears on, while a shadowy platform in one corner is home to a big bed and more cozy seating.

Post-frat types in collared shirts and made-up good girls looking to be bad wave down servers, who roam the club with shot trays laden with drinks like the Piece of Ass and Captain Orgasm, as bra-clad go-go girls provide sweet eye candy from their platform perches.

Thursdays offer up some of the cheapest club drinks in town, while hungry patrons can always venture downstairs to devour some hearty pub grub at the Lion.

Once they get through the line out front, the energy inside The Apartment accommodates the needs of booze-filled young Chicagoans looking for a party to crash.
