Sidetrack

i was i vacation for Obama election last year, everyday i had a fun time here, the bar is amazing and bartender in the big room was very friendly and give me tips on things to see and do in Chicago during my stay.The doormen were always polite, the only bad thing is smoking is forbiden even on the roof top terrace :( Spending election night here was fantastic! i'll never forget this moment!

I have to say I agree with DesertRat and his opinion of the showtunes. Not that I dislike them, but I think one night a week(Sundays) would be enough. I have been coming to this bar for 20 years and have watched it expand and still like this place, but less showtunes would be good. Also, a couple of times I had walked up to the video DJ to make a request and was handed some rudeness and attitude. He seemed to really not like what he was doing. Hey, I'll trade with you if you don't like your job. In spite of these 2 things I still like coming here for the mixed crowd, the bar has great atmosphere and the bartenders are friendly. But they really need some customer friendly VJ's.

Sundays at Sidetracks in summer is not to be missed. This is the place where all the hottest men get together for an afternoon buzz. Frisky, fun and full of HOT men!

Love, love, love Sidetrack! Great set up, they're expanding soon, good drinks, and friendly staff, what more can you ask for? Oh, hot guys too! I always have a great time here.

First of all... This place is HUGE! Every major city should have a bar like this one. Lots of different rooms each having a unique look to it. Plays great show tunes on Sunday afternoons. Friendly bartenders and top notch staff running the place. I highly recommend it!
