Party Earth Review The Beaumont Bar & Grill – more commonly referred to as just Beaumont’s – is open late. As in 5am late. As in, “Screw it, we’re already knee-deep in booze wannah dance” late. Although neon signs and affordable beer hint at the regulars from nearby DePaul University, the front room actually looks like a sedate neighborhood ... more

Party Earth Review An offshoot of the adjoining Dunlay’s on Clark restaurant, D.O.C. Wine Bar is an oasis of civilized consumption in a neighborhood better known for its party-hardy post-college crowd. The lounge is almost cocoon-like, featuring a few porthole windows looking out onto noisy Clark Street and a starkly decorated industrial ... more

Party Earth Review Named for its two separate entrances – one for the fans and one for the bands – Double Door is a simple club where music undeniably takes center stage. With its single long bar the only element that takes away from the open wooden dance space and a standing room capacity of only five hundred, it seems incredible that the ... more

Party Earth Review With a rich history in the arts and music scene, The Flat Iron, formerly the live music venue The Blue Note, draws a dedicated community of creative patrons. The giant face of a skull immediately greets guests upon entering – usually accompanied by the deafening sounds of Black Sabbath from the jukebox – while murals by ... more

Party Earth Review Situated on the upper decks of the behemoth boat-shaped North Avenue Beach House, Castaways Bar & Grill reaps the benefits of its locale, overflowing with the young, the athletic, and the bronzed the minute the weather warms.

Party Earth Review Part upscale bar, part restaurant, part club, and part bountiful beer garden, Zella is either the greatest thing since sliced bread or is suffering from multiple-personality disorder – either way, patrons come in droves to drink, flirt, and drink some more. A deceivingly small entrance in the simple brick façade leads ... more

Party Earth Review Set in the swanky area of Chicago known as the Gold Coast, Rush and Division is an odd mix of flashy, loud, and slightly seedy that features a range of venues from the rowdy bars along Division to the fat-cat steakhouses on Rush. The addition of State Street to the west – along with the infamous supply of older men on the ... more

Chicago Singles Overview
Single in Chicago? Plenty of people are! With such a young population, it is no surprise that Chicago offers plenty of upscale, laid-back, swanky, and divey spots where singles can meet, mingle, and more.
A great place to start is Hubbard Street, which offers a great variety of upscale and dress-casual watering holes and clubs where young singles sip martinis and flirt away. From Bull & Bear, a swanky sports bar full of well-dressed young professionals, to RockIt Bar & Grill, where energetic singles belt 80s ballads, Hubbard Street is generally a good bet for those looking to meet someone new.
Hipsters may choose a different route and bar crawl in Chicago’s most skinny jean-clad neighborhood, Wicker Park. With dozens of bars and clubs within a stone's throw of the Damen Avenue blue line stop, there are plenty of places to meet new people. The Flat Iron bar is a popular spot among Wicker Park locals, where Chicago singles can gather and flirt, all while downing whiskey shots.
Although it can be great fun to be single in Chicago, there are a few places to avoid. The Rush & Division corridor is known for older men trying to pick up younger women, and with the nickname “The Viagra Triangle,” it’s best to avoid this area as a single lady.
