What People Are Saying About Sound Bar

In Short – Nine bars, two lounges, three DJ booths and a 4,000-square-foot main dance floor illustrate the hugeness of this club; futuristic-minimalist furniture, stainless steel, smoked glass and color-themed rooms provide swanky visual stimulation. State-of-the-art sound and lighting systems create a heady experience: Motors, movable screens and floor-to-ceiling walls of frosted glass (as projection surfaces) makes images appear to float in the air above the crowds. Libations range from beer to champagne.

Bad promoter, Bad Music
by desh at Citysearch
Not a good experience on 08/14/09.. I have been party VIP style all over Chi-town the last 10 yrs.. this is certainly the worst,...doormen have no clue on service neither does the promoter guy named terell or something. I drive my bentley or ferrari there and they are all over me, then i take a taxi they start having atitude!...music now BAD!! NOT GOING BACK AGAIN..Don't waste your time and money
Oh yeah, did I mention that they were discrimintory towards balck people?( black people cant come in with a t-shirt and gym shoes but white people can!).. I saw it happen yesterday!! (Just wrote a letter to consumer complaints, rainbow coalition and the mayor's office)
One word = TERRIBLE
- Pros: ??
- Cons: Terrible promoters and music

Da Place To Be
by socialbunny at Citysearch
I've gone to Soundbar several times. Its most def the place to be on a Saturday night. I think the only let down is the music should be a little louder. Other than that great crowd and place!

Bad Night!
by vivaciousdivah at Citysearch
Sound Bar is like the place to be especially when you are downtown chicago. Out of the many clubs that are present, I have never seen poor accommodation and nonchalant behavior by employees and bouncers before. It was freezing outside, and we were left waiting for a minimum of an hour just so the line could attract more people and look like there were thousands in the club. Besides the poor hospitality, the venue is really nice and ecclectic. The music is great as well. The advice I will leave with you is to be cool is to be early. Get there at 9pm so you won't be looking crazy at midnight when you can't feel your fingers and toes, the price inflates from free to $30, and everyone leaves the line to go home.
The Details on Sound Bar
Save Time:
The entrance is actually in the alley, not on Ontario Street--just look for the sign and the line.
Know Before You Go:
Coat check is mandatory; if you're not in love with the practice, it's best to leave your coat home or in the car.
