It’s not what it used to be, but if you’re looking to dance in the Chicago suburbs, give it a try. It tends to be more fun for locals than…

Cheap drinks, sassy bartenders and carpet on the walls. You guessed it, this joint’s a dive bar. And a damn good one at that.

Girls head to the suburbs for a laid back time at The View. The grill pumps out a huge selection of meat and beer and pool to keep you busy.

Go downtown and visit this properly named bar and lounge. Some of the theme nights are worth the trip.

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.

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.

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.

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

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…

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.
