What People Are Saying About Red Dog Club

Featured Review

Bucktown club where the true party animal goes to get his/her/its groove on. – – The Scene – Red Dog is a dance club with all the essentials: bar, limited seating, a large dance floor and kick-ass DJs. Regular doses of machine-generated smoke mask the minimal available light from the few candles and the neon behind the bar, but resourceful singles of all sexual persuasions seem to find ways to make a hook-up. Don't be afraid to wear all eight earrings in one ear and five in your belly--you'll blend in. – – The Draw – Head to any one of the club's three…

Editor's Tips

Look Good:
Head downstairs to Border Line Tap for another species of neighborhood folk, but more laid-back atmosphere.

if you're going out to get down...

red dog's where it's at! First of all Monday nights alone are amazing with dj's Mark Grant and Lego spinning. Friday hit up 80's meets techno upstairs, which sounds weird, but is awesome! Lots of room, not the cheapest drinks, but they're always good. Tends to get started late, but when the crowd is there, the energy is fabulous!

THIS PLACE SUCKS!

by nniebur at Citysearch

I can't believe so many people like this place! Its overcrowded, very cruisy and not very comfortable. I was there with friends and a bouncer deliberately mislead one friend of mine telling her she could go out a door and get back in. 5 seconds later the same bouncer told her she had to pay again to return! Not to mention all the older scary guys oogling at all the young scantily clad women. Well, at least the music sucked.
