I love SPIN!! I have to say this is the greatest bar I've seen in Chicago, and I've seen a lot of (gay) bars in Chicago. We were there on a Wed. night and came back for more on Saturday. It wasn't that crowded Saturday, so we were able to sit down and talk with a really nice bartender. He had a lot of tats (numbers around his arm but it looked pretty cool), and I have to say he was the nicest bartender. He made us feel right at home and joked around with us. There was no smoke either of the two nights. It was a little crowded Wednesday, but I think that added to the excitement of the bar. Bottom line= great bar.
Pros: Bartender with tatoos and beard= awesome!!
Cons: 1 bathroom

Spin is quite a fun place on Wednesday nights. The atmosphere is fun, but the place is waaaay packed. Besides Humpday there isn't many other days I'd stop in, with the possible exception being the shower contest (which doesn't always even happen if people don't volunteer). Nevertheless it's the place to be on a Wednesday night and everyone and their mother knows it =)
Pros: Cheap Drinks, Good Service, Mix of people
Cons: Sometimes too packed, Few people except Wed, Too smokey at times

So, where can you go to be surrounded by gorgeous guys and not be bothered by unwanted passes, etc. when you want to shake your booty? Yep, this would be it. With two dance areas, it is fun to listen to top tunes in the video bar or for more adventurous type, the dj spins lots of great dance hits on the dance floor.
Pros: convenient, shower contest
Cons: not for single girls, slowservice if female

SPIN offers someone for everyone. The widest variety of people in Boystown is at Spin. Good rooms (large-ish), the front noisy bar with pool, and the less frantic (though not quiet) back room(s), with couches & chairs, and good people watching on the dance floor. And of course, the Friday night shower contests are always great fun. Don't go here for fancy drinks; go to see something you haven't seen before. It's one of the most girl-friendly Boystown bars, too. Very diverse crowd, even for Boystown.
Pros: Varied crowd, Inexpensive, Crowded + comfortable
Cons: Can be youngish, No Parking
