Add a reviewSmall 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.
