Love. This. Place. Showtune Sundays are the best. Vodka slushies are amazing. Friendly staff. Lots of fun. A must to go to
Don't mess with the Showtunes Queens. This is their religion, cardio and lifestyle. They'll cut you!
slurpee drinks here rule
Great Bourbon selection and nice new patio? Bucks, what's that?
Come for the games, leave with a boy!
Pretty good beer selection, better bourbon selection, jukebox, and FREE arcade games?! Come on...
Strawberry Basil Lemonade is divine.
Red Dynasty. End Scene.
A well-made cocktail was a hard thing to find in Boystown. Thankfully there’s Elixir, which not only shakes mean drinks, but also keeps the crowd in control and the music somewhat low. Read more.
One of the best vegetarian menus in the city despite being a bar. Plenty of vegan options too!
Go to Big Chicks on Mondays for dollar burgers and cheap pitchers!
One of the Best Nights out of the week that happens only at Big Chicks!!!
I love that Sofo allows dogs inside - my pup loves coming out with me!
Order em tall and order em now.
try showing up dressed like a giant furry animal...
Great music: more of a bar atmosphere than a club
Great spot to observe the homosexual mating rituals of the intoxicated unattractive middle-aged homosapien.
Roscoes is the best bar ever! Good people good drink prices!
Cruisy, 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
Friendly bar staff and great drink special most days of the week.
The last of the Chicago Leather bars. Lots of history in this place.
Play a game of pool in this old school bar. It's like stepping back in time 20 years.
If you want a drink without exorbitant prices and without boystown nonsense, this is your bar
That bartender Doug is awesome!
Definitely the strongest drinks I've had in Boystown so far! You'll get your money's worth for sure!
$12 for a long island iced tea?! Good and strong, but still...$$$
Great mixed drinks and weekend karaoke.
Great friendly service and chill atmosphere on Thursdays
Quit complaining!
This bar is GREAT. GREAT music and GREAT people. Oh did I say GREAT!!!!
Amazing club and atmosphere. Can't have a bad night at hydrate. And very lovely staff!
It wouldn't make my list at all, but they support TPAN once a month.
Amazing late night bar. This tip comes from a lifelong Chicagoan. Do it. Sweaty. Dance. Party. Best staff ever. What more does a queen need??
The 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?
This place totally violates capacity laws! Shitty dance floor and weak drinks... It's like a smaller, less classy minibar. Stay away!
Why would there be another option?
Friendly bartenders, nice spacious place, lots of table, and very reasonable prices. Good music volume, too.
This 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. Read more.
Don't take a #2 in the #1, please!
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
