Chicago Clubs Overview
The clubs in Chicago run the gamut from big to small, rowdy to chill, and upscale to gritty. And though it’s more known for its sports and bars, the Windy City’s party-crazed denizens can find just about any dance-heavy den to meet their desires.
The hottest and most exclusive Chicago clubs can be found in either River North or the Gold coast where celebrities, athletes, business elites, and moneyed tourists mix and mingle to DJ heavy beats while long lines of micro-skirted girls and the men who love them wait impatiently until the doorman deems them hot enough to enter.
Most of the clubs in the city are not of the velvet-roped variety and there are tons of wild and crazy hangouts filled with flirty singles, bachelorette and birthday groups, and dance fiends simply looking to get their groove on – while over in Boystown, the gay clubs are jam-packed with buffed and bronzed Adonis’s until 4 or 5am.
Other Chicago nightlife spots include world famous jazz and blues joints, while Second City is the mecca of the Midwest comedy club scene.
