Gay Nightlife in Chicago

Grab a drink and grab a local.

Davenport’s

Two areas, a piano bar and a cabaret. It’s upscale, but you’ll feel like everyone is part of the performance. It’s out of the way, so you better love cabaret.

Crew Bar + Grill

A great choice for guys who like sports, beer, and other laid back guys like those things too. Kick back and enjoy the game and the varied beer selection.

Cocktail

Recently remodeled, Cocktail offers a more posh setting without the usual attitude. It’s about quality, drinks, food, and dancing. Expect fun and a crowd.

Club Escape

An older scene but still a good time. After all age is just a number, right?

Closet

It is kind of the size of a closet but a good bar for lesbians to hang out. That is before the gays arrive and crowd this place up late at night.

Circuit Nightclub

Though this dance club struggles with trying to be too many things, the right theme night might make you forget. The crowd tends to be more latino if that helps.

Charlie’s Chicago

A little place that before 1am, is all country western. And then, like some kind of disco Cinderella, it turns to a more mainstream late night dance party.

Cellblock

If you’re into leather, maybe you’ll want to be locked up here. The theme nights and cheap drinks help you find what you’re looking for and continue at home.

Call

With a former western background, this now ever trendy bar comes saddled-up with good drinks and fun music. There’s still a chance you can find the cowboy of your dreams here.

Buck’s Saloon

They say “Drink here. Fight at home. Dance across the street.” With their cheap drinks and friendly vibe, it’s hard to argue with this sports bar’s logic.
