Party Earth Review Located at the north end of the swanky Rush Street shopping district, Gibson’s Bar & Steakhouse is a Gold Coast neighborhood institution that has been alienating the basic tenets of vegetarianism – and recommended portion size – since 1989. Boasting ice-cold martinis, massive cuts of beef, and desserts that could double ... more

Party Earth Review A low-key oasis in the college- and sports-heavy Clark/Belmont area, Matilda‘s management stresses a 23+ age preference, but that doesn’t mean the “old folk” regulars don’t know how to party…they just do it with better booze. The spacious upstairs bar is designed with an upscale flea market aesthetic, with scattered picture ... more

Party Earth Review Consistently ranked in local polls among the Top 5 BBQ spots in town, Brand BBQ Market sees a steady stream of grilled meat aficionados and hip locals coming back time and again for smoky flavor, homemade sauces, and mammoth plates of distinctly non-vegetarian cuisine. Burnt orange walls surround the rectangular ... more

Party Earth Review Renovated in 2011 by Spike TV’s Bar Rescue, Blue Frog’s Local 22 is a sports and karaoke bar featuring a snazzy sports design and a menu of organic meats and locally brewed beer. Bright neon signs and twenty TVs tuned to sports cast a flickering light over the rowdy crowd of college kids playing drinking games with every ... more

Party Earth Review Dinner, daily specials, freshly brewed beer, sports, and DJs – Moonshine delivers it all under one roof. Except the dog-friendly patio – that’s outside. This neighborhood favorite draws a diverse crowd for bites, beers, and Da Bears, especially when the Chicago sun peeks through and the sidewalk ... more

Party Earth Review Founded in 1968 as one of Chicago’s first blues clubs, Kingston Mines has stood witness to more than a few big players in the industry wailing about how their woman left them. Playbills from past performances, old photos of legendary singers, and vintage murals of African American history dot the room, while mismatched ... more

Party Earth Review The famed burgers are almost all named for heavy metal bands, so patrons at Kuma’s Corner are as likely to hear Black Sabbath as they are to eat it. BDSM and pinup artwork line the orange walls of this always-hopping single-room joint, though most of the artsy portraits aren’t as tatted as the regular metal heads and punk ... more

Party Earth Review Popular with an amiable bunch of grad students and young professionals bent on conversation, the modest Hopleaf Bar harbors an intense dedication to beer, and lots of it. Every night, the worn wooden tables and booths on the first floor quickly fill up with easygoing patrons pouring over the selection of more than two hundred ... more

Party Earth Review The owner of well-known Chicago restaurant MK (think sophisticated American grub at eye-popping prices) and the guy behind national chain Morton’s Steakhouse (over seventy locations and counting) hooked up one night…and their beefy love-child was DMK Burger Bar. Although the restaurant is perpetually busy, anyone expecting ... more

Party Earth Review Although the word “lounge” might evoke images of a see-and-be-seen downtown hotspot, Tiny Lounge – located in cute and cozy Lincoln Square – is literally and figuratively far from velvet-roped River North. The lighting is dark, the décor is polished but minimal, and the regulars are a mix of hipsterish yuppies and hipsters ... more

Party Earth Review Centrally located in the wild Wrigleyville bar scene and just steps away from famed Wrigley Field, Sluggers manages to combine a sports theme, dueling pianos, a stripper pole, and indoor batting cages to create a one-stop venue for drinking and entertainment. On the main floor, sports fans and fraternity types set up camp ... more
