Excalibur at the corner of Ontario and Dearborn looks like a "real" Castle. It is newly remodeled and features three distinct areas within the building. The Cabaret... This area features a new fun format with performing DJ's, classic tunes, and dancing. Open: 365 days a year Club X... Three floors of high-energy dance. A LOUD new sound system, eye-popping lights and video walls. Open: Wednesday-Saturday The Dome Room... Chicago's "cutting edge", alternative dance and LIVE music. Open: Thursday-Sunday. Excalibur has over 50,000 square feet of entertainment in their three clubs in one, and they advertise it as "the ultimate adult playground!" There is also billiards in one of the game rooms. Excalibur has participated in the "Taste of Chicago" for about seven years. They have an elaborate replica of their enormous castle-like club, and is one of the most popular of the entire festival. They serve hot chicken wings, hot and spicy garlic shrimp, watermelon, and Italian nachos.
No tank tops or cut offs. Even though there is not a strict dress code, most people really dress to be seen at Excaliber. Leave a Comment Theme: NightclubAddress: 632 North Dearborn (Corner Dearborn & Ontario)Phone: 312-266-1944

When you are in Chicago, be sure to visit the Underground Wonderbar at 10 E. Walton street between State and Rush. Lonie Walker, singer, bar owner, with a Janis Joplinesque style, sets the atmosphere of the Underground Wonderbar. Herb Walker, lead guitar has incredible talent. The pop, rock, funk, soul, jazz, blues mix is the best music in Chicago.

| | | | Bars/Nightclubs: Schubas Tavern | Tip Rating: | | | | |
We went to Schubas on my last night in Chicago. It served as a meeting/pre-funk, basically a staging area for our later Whirlybal hijinks. Schubas is kind of your typical frat bar...it reminds me of Taylor's in Eugene, but slightly better-I didn't see anyone drinking straight from pitchers. They have a good selection of beers-and for all you malt liquor fans, they even have Schlitz. Another important feature, well important if you're an alcoholic, is the Jaegermeister tap at the end of the bar...I hate Jaeger, but that's beside the point. Schubas also has a music performance space (in a room behind the bar) that draws quite a crowd. We never made it back there, but it has a pretty good reputation, so it's definitely worth checking out. If any of you who read pages (6 people) ever go to Schubas, tell me if it gives you a compulsive urge to call everyone you know...for some reason that's what I felt like the whole time I was there, and finally succumbed and turned into the annoying person talking on their cell phone in a bar that's way too loud to be talking on a cell phone.
Pretty much whatever you want...jeans and baseball caps seemed to be the standard. Leave a Comment Theme: Live MusicAddress: 3159 N Southport AvePhone: 773.525.2508
