Owners of Mothers Lounge, Chicago, IL

by blackuser

OK, people bear with me because this is the first time I'm using this site. Now, regarding Mothers Lounge/Bar, Chicago, IL. Well, this bar has been the subject of numerous racial issues and their obvious complaints down through the decades. For instance, many of the young twenty somethings, many not even born during this instance, won't know that during the Chicago Bears Superbowl heyday that a Bears player had a big problem gaining entry; also, a Chicago Bulls Basketball player-during the period when the Bulls won the season championship, '95, had a similar problem with gaining entry. So, because of all of this down through the years one-and the media-should ask, just who owns this Mothers establishment!? Hm, who??? Most likely they are owned by the Chicago Mob, get it, the Syndicate, the Outfit do I make myself clear!? This is why business' such as these can do these type of things and actually still stay in business. Now, I have no proof of what I've just stated, nor do I really even know. But being a life long Chicago resident, born and raised, I would say I'm pretty much on the money. Also, this type of thing goes along with the current Mayoral Administration, ie. Daley. Want this to end Chicago, well, don't vote for Daley during the upcoming election; put his challenger in, whomever this person may be, just to shake things up. Change will come at that point, but not until. Later, L. D. Green

bad club

by mrbrucey

They are racist against blacks and latins. Any any people of color. So since they dont like color people. make sure they see very little of the color GREEN.

Skin heads have fun.

• Pros: none
• Cons: One of Chicago's only racist clubs

Disgrace

by Backaly

When the advertise that 80's iconic movies were filmed there, they don't say that they wish they were still in an 80's movie -- where racial minorities are relegated to the background. Pathetic.

• Pros: Location
• Cons: Blatant racism

boycott this bar

by citysearcher13

It is disappointing to hear that blatant racism still takes place, even in a big city like Chicago.

Anyone who works at this bar should be ashamed, and those who visit this bar should also. Patronizing this bar shows your support for their bigotry.

Show that you support basic human rights by boycotting this bar.

• Pros: none
• Cons: Racist owners, managers, and bouncers

Not so great even if you're not black

by MukhMan

It's special because it's not very friendly, especially if you are an African American, based on what I am reading in the news. (Those Wash. U. guys were very smart to try out the experiment by switching baggy jeans between a black and a white classmate.) But getting beyond that, I must say that as someone who really likes Chicago and its various restaurants and nightclubs, I was surprised by the low standards of this place. Not very impressive, and given the recent events, not worth going out of your way to patronize. Just choose one of a million other establishments that are good and do not discriminate. (Unless, of course, you are a member of the KKK or skinheads. They would love this joint.)

• Pros: None
• Cons: Bad service, bad food, bad attitude

When is it going to stop?!

by Concerned Black American

Unfortunately, I'll never attend this establishment. Although, I may not make if passed the front door anyway. I'm very disappointed to see that racism still exist, especially coming from the hometown of our first Black President and First Lady.

• Pros: none
• Cons: Racist

Not for me.

by scum1995

I haven't been here yet, but from the media and reviews, I would never go. Bunch of racist pricks. They should change the name to Mother's White Club and relocate to rural Alabama.

• Pros: none.
• Cons: everything.
