The Buzz Club

a little disappointed

by cbellot12 at Citysearch

I threw my birthday party at Buzz and the music was great BUT the bouncers were rude and there was a lot of mis-communication. They told me i would have a table with a bottle of champagne but when i got there, my table was not ready because they "over-booked" parties and we didnt have anywhere to sit..... And then when they sat me and my group of friends at a table, the bouncer told us that we had an hour at the table and that we had to move to another spot because of another party that was coming. FINALLY after all the mis-communication and confusion, they told us to stay at our table and continue our party. We did have a good time, but overall i would not recommend having/hosting a birthday party there..

• Pros: The music was great
• Cons: the bouncers and guys working at the club were RUDE

Great atmosphere for new and also experienced dancers!

Of course, I'm talking about the Wed night, where latinos and a good and balanced mixture of races go after work to have drinks, fun and dance. I love the fact that I can go there as early as 6:30 PM, have some free food, free entrance and free salsa lesson! Then I get the chance to meet all kinds of people, Middle aged professionals, young students, old people that wanna have fun, etc. The dance floor will start getting crowded at around 10:30 PM and from that point on, you get to see some of the best salsa dancers of the city, showing off those latino goddess! But of course, after a bunch of drinks, any woman will start looking good... Am I wrong?! :-)

• Pros: Cheap night, good meeting place, good show...
• Cons: Ventilation is innadecuate sometimes, no food late at night, dirty dance floor.

Let your hair down!

by saraoh at Citysearch

Yayyy for the buzz! This is one of the few places where I can go out dancing with girlfriends and NOT feel like men are creeping in on all sides. For the most part, people are there to dance and have a great time. However, please note, I only go on Wednesdays when they have Latin dance. Music is great, drinks are reasonably priced, but watch out for the Dancing with the Stars wannabes! There are some great dancers here! Don't be ashamed if you're not, this is definitely a place you can relax, let your hair down and DANCE!

• Pros: people are genuinely having a great time, no meat market feel
• Cons: bit pricey, service is impersonal

Not what I expected

by tangy215 at Citysearch

We came here for a friend's birthday (so it was free before midnight). It was quite a disappointment. If you're looking for a sleek, classy place to go, don't go to the buzz club! It reminded me of a dirty college bar and the ventilation was horrible. I felt like I was going to pass out. I'm glad it was free, but I won't be coming back.

• Pros: free before midnight
• Cons: dirty club with unattractive people

by tmntfan82 at Citysearch

The Buzz is hot on Thursday nites. Great music, hot people, awsome drinks. You can just hang out or meet new people. Always a place to go

• Pros: Hot Crowd
• Cons: Sometimes does get too crowded

I Know Somone on the Inside

by rumble1974 at Citysearch

Everytime I come to the Chi I kick it at the Buzz club on Saturday. I have had the time of my life everytime. The bar service is great on Saturday night which is called No Limits night. I highly recommend that you pick a bartender and tip him or her well and you will get good and damn drunk. I swear I almost died the last time I was there. Come dressed fly bring a crew if you can and just have fun.

All the action's on the center dance floor at this downtown nightclub.

The Scene
Within an unassuming office building facade, the contemporary, casual Buzz has an industrial loft interior of exposed bricks and high wooden beams. The design emphasis is on boogying down. Motley spotlights penetrate the large dance floor, where footloose young men and women show their moves.

The Draw
With three full-sized bars stocked with premium liquor, wine and beer, you'll be sure to find your poison here, but be forewarned: The Buzz bartenders make a stiff drink. Try the house special, the King Bee (Belvedere Vodka, splash of M+R Dry Vermouth, and an olive or twist), or a bartender favorite, an energizing Black Jeans and Raspberry Stoli. Bottle service is available and there's even a specialty champagne bar. A kitchen serves food until the wee hours, including chicken fingers and beef empanadas.

Hot yet so cold

by heburnll at Citysearch

I will admit that its a nice looking little club. Around midnight things heat up, but cools off fairly quickly. High maintenance women, mixed with not-so-high maintenance guys. The service i thought was horrid. Me and my buddy sat right in front of one of the side bars waving money at the bartender, and had a heck of a time getting served. You would think screaming and waving money would be enough. Otherwise, good place to chill.

I'm in the wrong "INDUSTRY"

by ptripodes at Citysearch

Industry night at Buzz is incredible!!! It turns out that industry night refers to the toppless sort. Talent galore. The music was great, the women were friendly. My friends and I had a great time.
