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.
Avoid the pitchers if you wish to live! Though they are quite tasty and cheap....
Favorite Place!
Every time I visit Boystown, I always have to stop at Roscoes. It's definitely my favorite place to dance the night away. Overall, the crowd is not intimidating. It has a great mixture of people. Even though the dance floor can be tight as times there is plenty of room to get air and grab a drink! LOVE ROSCOES!!!
The Original
