Horrible bartenders and service and this comes from a bartender at another gay club in another city!! The bartenders are not that hot to have the attitude that they do. Music and bar layout is great though!!

This lounge bar has a real good ambiance. probably attracts Chicago's better looking gay crowd on a night by night basis. lot of pretentious homos stand around and model. don't usually talk with anyone outside of their group and just stare at hot guys. not a good "meeting bar". there's a small dance floor which gets packed easy and can be fun. the bartenders take their shirts off Friday and Saturday nights around midnight. getting hired here requires prior gym membership. owners are cool. music is prolly the best you'll hear in boystown if you like dance, mixed up top40, and some electronic. drinks are prolly a dollar or two premium at this bar. I only wrote this review cuz I use gaycities in NYC and it was helpful sorta. I go to this bar pretty often, hope it helped. I'd def stop in if ur good looking ;)

Wow cant believe all the bad reviews

I dunno what u guys r talkin about, everyone workin there has always been very nice, the drinks are def not over priced (maybe either ur not used to drinks in the city, or u need to switch to wells). But either way its a fun bar, they play good music, have a decent crowd, and amzingly hott bartenders. Most of which r straight guys tho. But one last thing, if u older guys r pissed off by the way u were treated, mayne u creeped out the people there, and thats why u got weak drinks??

I have to say, I was there for my first time ever to bars in boystown, never knew a dress code, never knew anything about the gay bars in chicago, I walked in... a very nice looking bar. I talked to a few employees, and I was treated so well as an out of towner. I've seen the negative reviews about this bar written, but I have nothing bad to say. I was from out of town, my first time there, and I was treated so well. I give major props to the bar and it's employees
