The Scene – This open, yet intimate, lounge is fitted with brown columns, red curtains, gold-toned walls, exotic wood panels and suspended clear-acrylic speaker enclosures. Three reserved-table areas roped off by suited gentlemen dominate the left side, each with plasma screens, faux alligator ottomans and banquettes. Within, partiers mix at low tables and order bottle service (more than a dozen vodkas and many champagnes are offered).

What a waste

by thedoglvr at Citysearch

Okay.... there's no line to get in because the place is LAME. All attitude with NO cool to back it up. Overcharging the men to get in ($20) and hardly anyone was inside. How boring was it? I'm writing this from Lakeview at 11:30 on Friday night having already left there. Don't waste your time or money on this place; all snob and no cool. No service and bad drinks. I could get drunk faster taking a dose of NyQuil for a head cold. If this place were the example of nightlife in Chicago, I'd move to the middle of nowhere for more entertainment and excitement. A one-star rating is too high.

  • Pros: No line
  • Cons: everything else

Y go to Y?

by ames1 at Citysearch

A few girlfriends and I went to Y Bar on a Friday night and was quite disappointed. The door men charged all of us ladies $20 to get in and there was no line outside! It never got packed all night and not a fun crowd.

  • Pros: No line outside
  • Cons: Not a fun crowd
