Having been around since 1987, Roscoe's knows how to keep its crowds entertained. Today, a favorite of Halsted, this bar caters to its young, fun crowds who meet here to catch Roscoe's award-winning drag shows.
Roscoe's is my go-to for a night of dancing! I also enjoy it for a casual post-work drink. They are sort of a mullet of a bar—with more of a hang-out space up front and the party in the back room. They also serve food, which is a nice little perk if you get hungry. During the summers, Roscoe's also has a patio outside that is nice to chill at during non-party hours. Their daily specials also can't be beaten. On Thursdays right now, rail mixers are just $2, and you can often find me there on Sundays for dollar beers and Britney Spears!
Younger
For twinks and drag queens. I prefer Sidetrack or Replay for boystown bars. Better yet, go to Andersonville bars.
lots of action
Reliable, fun bar that has been around For probably over the last 25 years or longer. Really decent drink specials especially on Sundays. 2$ domestic beer specials.
Super popular. Younger crowd, lots of visitors, newbies
This bar is a well known bar, not just among locals; if you've ever visited Chicago and come to Boystown, chances are you've probably been to this bar. Good fund, good music, with a dance floor in the back that plays good music.
