Suggestions for Gay Bar near Chicago

Court P. • September 25, 2009Best gay bar in town. Hot boys, great music. Sundays are especially fun for tea

Ross G. • August 15, 2013Try their extensive draft beer selection. The Left Hand Milk Stout is always a great choice.

Bart C. • May 16, 2011Best gay bar in Chicago! No attitude, great staff and wonderful guests. (via Scoville)

Adisak P. • August 13, 2011Strawberry Basil Lemonade is divine.

Dustin H. • May 16, 2015Nice little neighborhood gay bar. Don't have these back home in Texas so a welcome treat to go out without the scene of boystown if you want a chill night.

LogoTV • September 9, 2010Roscoe's has been nominated for the 2010 Trip Out Gay Travel Awards for “Best Gay Bar”. If you’d like to vote, or check out the other nominees visit http://www.tripoutgaytravel.com/awards/

Shannon J. • June 17, 2016Basil & Gold ($12) combining vodka and black garlic-infused caraway vodka, orgeat almond syrup, green chartreuse, lemon juice, basil and black pepper.

David E. • June 24, 2010Definitely the strongest drinks I've had in Boystown so far! You'll get your money's worth for sure!

Ken Q. • December 5, 2009Cruisy, leathery bear bar. Nice place to start the evening. Heavier action in back bar area, behind the fence. Theme nights and special events most weekends and holidays. Give it a try when in Chicago

Rajaad T. • September 28, 2013They have a jukebox, darts and pool tables. The bar next door even has karaoke on Friday and Saturday. My type of bar!

Forrest • October 12, 2014This is a very progressive bar. Unisex bathrooms, affordable drinks, and fun atmosphere.

Francois F. • November 28, 2011The music here is amazing on Saturdays if you like a mix of hip hop and dance with great djs! Hipster club kid crowd! Did I mention $12 champagne on Sunday?

Theo E. • July 22, 2013My favorite place to dance in Chicago. The crowd is diverse, and the music is awesome! Go for Robyn night.

Matt W. • June 8, 2011Amazing club and atmosphere. Can't have a bad night at hydrate. And very lovely staff!

Austin D. • August 16, 2011Best bartenders in Chicago, bar none

Justen P. • November 17, 2011Grab a friend or a group and start your night out right. Drinking on an empty stomach calls for an early night. Ask about the daily special, who pays full price these days? <3

Jon V. • May 10, 2010For a gay bar downtown with a different crowd, come here! The bar staff is always friendly and the crowd can be diverse depending on the night.

Keith P. • September 20, 2018$3 Jackfire and American Horror Story viewing and drag sure on Wednesday evenings

Michael F. • September 14, 2011Friday and Monday night are good to learn either line dance or two-stepping. Saturday is also a good country dance night. Tell them you know a Man of Charlies and see what they say.

Time Out Chicago • October 20, 2011This place looks like your typical yuppie sports bar, but the vastly male clientele, plum and ochre walls and Kylie Minogue soundtrack reveal it to be Rogers Parks straightest-acting gay bar,

Patrick L. • July 27, 2015One drink minimum but they're cheap & strong, well worth it.

Phoenix J. • August 3, 2018Check out the games upstairs!

Melody L. • June 29, 2015Friendly. Clean. Window seating. Dog friendly.

Ben S. • August 22, 2010Rick is indeed awesome, but Mark (up front Thursday, Friday, Saturday nights) is the reason we come back. The cell block has had some tough times but Mark is a fantastic bartender, and a great guy!

HalleB D. • May 29, 2013Mondays are hot and drinks are amazing

Pat L. • July 3, 2010Ah! Minibar is the proverbial Ed Hardy of gay bars. Some of you will see that as a positive. C'est la vie!

Christopher H. • January 4, 2013Love it. Nice people and a low key scene.

Holly A. • March 16, 2011John is my hero! Every drink here is fantastic, and the food is stellar. Team Awesome! =D
