What People Are Saying About Bar Chicago

Citysearch

The Scene – Tourists, conventioneers, college students and clubbers looking for a wild night head to Bar Chicago, a second-floor club with a post-collegiate anti-style that fits right in with other Rush-and-Division bars. Ritualized, unrestrained outrageousness is practiced nightly and encouraged by the regulars and staff. – – The Draw – Besides shot ceremonies for the whole house, another tradition is that women are encouraged to shake it atop the bar--and make no mistake, they do.

Great place to go if you don't have an attitude problem

by chigirllb

BAR is a great place to go for something different. From the clientel, which ranges from the young twenties to the young-at-heart fifty-somethings and yes some suburbanites and tourists, and the complete variety of music, everyone is satisfied. Of course you are not going to like it if you are going out for a $15 specialty martini and want to lounge around, see and be seen,,,that's not what bar is all about. Its about leaving the attitude at the door and having a great time. The staff is great looking and is one of the friendliest I have encountered in Chicago. They are there to make sure you have a great time and I have never been disappointed. I highly recommend BAR Chicago to anyone who just wants to have a good time without the frills... and by the way, the bathroom attendants are great! They are not trying to be trendy, they are there to make sure you are taken care of.

  • Pros: Great looking staff, reasonable drink prices, people always dancing
  • Cons: parking, but there is valet
2 Star Rating: Below Average

avoid this bar if you are not in college

This bar is just for tourists and college kids (or those who never went to college). For those of you who have gotten binge drinking out of your system, avoid this joint at all costs.

  • Pros: party bar
  • Cons: young crowd

Good place for a rowdy time

by lavly713

If you want to dance on top of bar and have a bartender pour drinks in your mouth, then this is the place to go. It's a great place to dance to the latest music and have a no frills good time
