My god how does this thing survive?
1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

I live down the street from this place. My friends warned me of this place being a tourist trap. Well, I was tempted so I went. Ugh. The place is expensive, there were some decent looking girls... The crowd was too old for me (35+). The place is large and has variety so thats a plus. Unfortunately, I did not find something that fit. The music transitions were choppy. Well, I hope this place can re-invent itself and fulfill its pseudo-hype.

Pros: variety, tourists

Cons: music, price

Editor's Review

Dramatic castle in River North where high-octane fun reigns over a retro disco, modern club and billiards room-restaurant.  See the full editorial review.

Insider Tips

When to Go

Among the nightly promotions, the biggest draws are Wednesday's live band karaoke with the Durty Lounge Lizards and Thursday's Latin-infused party with merengue and salsa, free buffet and dance lessons from Lisa La Boriqua and Latin Street Dancing.
