Chicago's nightlife is brimming with exciting things to see and
do. There is never a dull moment in the Windy City, what
with the myriad of clubs, bars, restaurants, and all sorts of
other recreational activities.
Potential Lords of the Dance may want to check out
Illusion's, owned by none other than Dennis Rodman; you know
anything with his name on it has to be impressive, right?
Another highlight of the club scene has to be Polly Esther's,
one of a chain of disco-themed, chintzed-up fun.
It is well-known that Chicago is a
Mecca for the blues, and
as a result there are a plethora of jazz and blues clubs, all
worthy of your nighttime fun. For example, the
Checkerboard Lounge is a long-standing icon of the genre, and
features big-name performers.
Rush Street is the name given to the place where all the good
bars can be found, but we don't recommend actually looking
there...stick to the Division Street area, especially where it
intersects Clark and State Streets; you'll thank us later.
Be on the lookout for such drinkeries as the Lodge and the
Gingerman Tavern.
Chicago has in insatiable appetite for sports, and there are
more than a few choice spots to pop in and enjoy a cocktail or
five while watching the Big Game. Two noteworthy
establishments are
Sluggers and Hi-Tops Cafe, both in very close proximity to
Wrigley Field, home of Sosa and the Cubs.
Finally, don't miss out on the opportunity to roll in the
aisles at one of the city's stellar comedy clubs. Zanies
on North Wells Street features the best of the best, while
ComedySportz generates more of a competitive atmosphere by
pitting two comedians against each other in a battle for crowd
favoritism.
As you can see, the problem isn't "what to do?" as
much as "do I have time to do it all?". Nobody
is bored when the sun sets, and with the proper research, you'll
be on your way to painting the town red before you know it.
