    Chicago - Rainbo Club
    by ant1606
    Hang out here and meet not only Chicagoans but also people coming here from other locations. This club seem to drag hip people in their 30s and up. Talk with artists in their buzz and discover a world of its own. No doubt we've been taken here by our local musicians friends.
    Great deco ambience. Chairs around the bar are way outnumbered by patrons who walk around, if possible at all in this packed space, and screaming their news in a quality music saturated environment.
    Don't forget to take a portrait in the photo booth behind the bar!
    Great experience.

    Necktie allowed, best if inside your pocket.

    Opened in 1921 as a movie palace, the Chicago Theater eventually fell into disrepair and was set to be demolished. However, in 1983 the City Council designated the theater a historic landmark, saving it from the wrecking ball. The theater underwent a $4,300,000 renovation, and nowadays is a venue for live performances, rather than movies.

  • If you like trans and house music, this is your place to be after midnight.

    Whatever is trendy, but better to dress up than down, if you know what I mean

  • Good crowd, tasty drinks, great music

    A little bit dressy for the American, but if you're European, it's what you're used to.
