What People Are Saying About Hangge Uppe

This fixture in the Rush Street area since the early '70s still packs in folks who haven't outgrown the post-college air of classic rock and nostalgia-soaked posters. After 2am, it's a throbbing protoplasm of wall-to-wall people--scoping, jostling, gawking and working on their seventh nightcap. Order only what can be transferred directly from a tap or bottle in an arcing stream into your gullet--but don't even waste your time if you're not fond of raucous crowds. For meeting and greeting other attractive young people, or as your last stop before the drunk tank, it's ideal, though the doormen and bouncers can be rude.

This was a great way to end our night - cheap drinks, loud music, everyone just having a good time. The music upstairs was mainstream dance/rap, downstairs 80's and classics - what more could you ask for very very late on a Saturday night? Of course there are some creepy people there but mostly it's just a mix of younger and older having a good time. Open late so you know where to go to end the night. If you're going make sure you don't mind loud music and being jostled by a crowd.

The Hang Up is a must-stop-at while in Chicago. The drinks are great, the atmoshpere screams fun and the service is awesome. When in the bar make sure you meet Sergio...the best bartender ever! Everyone should experience the hang up!

Place was packed with bachelorette parties and the downstairs is so full of people you feel like a sardine, but the service was really good, with the waitresses coming out into the crowd with your drinks. There were definitely more girls than guys, but they played nothing but girl songs. Women's bathroom gets backed up and I know this because we were hanging out near the men's bathroom and we kept letting girls in to the men's bathroom and watching the door for them. $2 cover worth it. Had to wait in line to get in, but not for too long.

Know Before You Go:
Downstairs, the sound system's temperamental--one night it's barely audible, the next a full stack of Marshall amps.
What to Drink:
A request for a martini may stump the bartender; order a beer. The colorful shots that cocktail waitresses offer up in test tubes may look tempting after your 9th Red Bull and vodka, but they're mostly sugar water.
