Smartbar

A classic. The most consistently good house music spot in the city , especially as a second location for the night. Not the best spot for just casual dancing and mingling.

LEGENDARY. Known for House Music veterans. You can go see a concert upstairs at The Metro upstairs then head downstairs for DJs that mix until the wee hours. Underground scene for sure..

This place is awesome.great atmosphere and people. The sounds are amazing. My bff and I danced all night. If you like dance music like Kaskade I definitely recommend this.

I've been going to Smartbar for years and it has YET to provide a disappointing night. Kaskade used to DJ here, but now Derrick Carter and other house(+techno) legends slay the dance floor !

One of the nation's best dance clubs featuring local and world class talent.

Best club to hear techno and house in Chicago. Not pretentious , cheap drinks , cool staff and they bring the talent... If you like Hawtin, Miles , Sneak, Farina, Paul Johnson, Jeff Mills come here.

There are two ways to cool down at this notorious spot that books epic talent: 1. typically strong, always tasty drinks. 2. the fans! Do everyone a solid, and blast them when the dancefloor is bumpin.

This venerated dance club housed in Metro’s basement received a makeover in 2006, slicking up the looks significantly and bringing back a vibrant crowd. Read more

Best house music in Chicago with a great scene!!

A great place to see awesome underground djs and dance the night away! The best part is the lack of a dress code and d-bags

Incredible house music . Highly recommend!

When the die-hards and regulars are really feeling a set, we all congregate in a spot we call the Left Front Speaker Party. It's a private function, but come on over and say hi! We're all really nice.

Super fun dance club especially Sunday nights for Queen. Great bartenders !!

Wasted people on the dance floor ! Always a fun messy time. Once saw a random guy get a hand job during the middle of Switch's set. Good times.

One of the best spots for deep house acoustics in the city .

Always a great set and a welcoming dance floor

Queen on Sunday night is supessss horn doggy!

If a tune comes on that you particularly enjoy, dance your way over to the sweet spot near the left pillar in the middle of the room. You won't ever hear that song sound better in Chicago.

The newest bartender is pretty cute and knows A LOT about music .

Great speakers and location

Sunday is Nintendo night. Theatre sized projection of free-to-play NES with a stack of games.

I think there's a dance party in here......

Holiday partee

The bouncer is behaving like an idiot. If you like that good luck. The place is a dump on the inside. If you have luck with a DJ it might be ok...

Nice place Illinois

You are the party, dance and enjoy every minute!
