Fun and great drinks
I was fully hydrated here ! I think they are closed one day random out of the week . They have a stage for shows and the djs are usually very awesome . I hear there's a secret passageway to bar elixir . Not sure still I'll be back to check it out ! -

Small but open late
I loved the fact that it was open until 4am, since I didn't end up finding Boystown until after 2am. I also met some really nice people, who took me to IHOP and helped me home. -
Great bar and dance club
PROS: modern interior, great main bar, decent DJ's, gay plays and musicals on some nights. Lots of good looking men. CONS: medium size dance floor OVERALL: Well worth a visit. The gay plays they put on there are of good quality. Space is an issue for the dance area, but that has more to do with limit size of bars in Chicago because of rent. -

i love going to this club but everytime i go there, the lady is always mean and rude to the customers. And it was not the first time i have experience her rudeness. I probably would not going back to hydrate and recommend to all my friend to not go back there again so they would not experience her rudeness to customers. -
very circuit
drinks were expensive, but well made, 2 cute go go dancers, had to wait a lil to get in at 2, about 20 min, was 10 bucks, so not bad at all, but most of the crowd inside was built 30-40 year olds, and people were passing out x all over, I liked the staff, they were friendly, even though it was really busy, but the crowd kills the bar, I'm not into tweaked out guys, and the place was packed with them. idk, but thats my 2 am saturday experience -
Typical club on Halsted.
I was visiting Chicago as a tourist looking for a good club on Halsted. This club is more of a neighborhood bar with lots of locals rather than for tourists. Moderate crowd for a Friday & Saturday night; not huge but not empty either. Mix of gay & straight. Decent drink prices. I had a good time there although I've been to better clubs in my life.
