What we say

Sophisticated lounge attracts a wide crowd
The former Gentry (was a piano bar) was made over into a "neighborhood bar by day, lounge by night" that pays homage to the "pansy days" of gay life in Chicago.

***** Reopened!
Posted: October 16, 2009
Scarlet, after a few months of recovering from a fire that destroyed the bar and upper apartments, reopened in September 2009.

***** A long strange trip
Posted: February 24, 2009
Well, this is not a piano bar now, but I'm not sure what it has become. There were drag queens and gogo boys, and a pretty diverse crowd of 30-somethings. It's a small place, and it looks great, but it has a very strange vibe about it. The place is searching for an identity, as are many of its patrons.

***** It's ok.
Posted: December 13, 2008
It seems that this strip from Steamworks to Roscoes is full of duds. This bar is small and has changed completely from what the other review here describes. I never went to Gentry here only Scarlett. Visit and make your own decision, I'm over it.

***** Piano bar at it's greatest
First to Review - February 13, 2006
I must first admit that I have only been here a few times. While a small bar compared to others in the "boystown" area, it packs a real punch when it comes to entertainment. I have spent new years eve here the past few years and loved it. A modern yet homey feel Gentrys is a great place to sit and relax while sipping a few cosmos with friends. There is almost always someone on the piano, and occasionally a comedian at the helm. Most of the patrons tend to be 30's and up it's a very inviting crowd to all.
