Popping bottles. Usually selective on who gets in. Either you're hot.. Or you need to know someone in the industry.

Ashley Sheeran

This place is a blast - young professionals getting super loose after a long work week. You'll hear top music , get drunker than you want to and probably dance with a Blackhawks or Bulls player.

Heidi Sutton

Best dance club in Chicago! You very well could be sitting a table right next to a celebrity.... and never even know it! ;)

House Life TV

Underground is definitely a Chicago staple. If you enjoy the nightlife and dance music , check out http://houselife.tv for original videos, exclusive content, and news.

First time experiencing the nightlife in Chicago and I had to visit this place. Very impressed. Count on me recomending it to all my DC industry folks.

Time Out Chicago

With populist hip-hop and house remixes, the sleek, dark, militaristic space comes alive. Celebrity command performances might not always be A-list. Read more

Kitchen! Grilled cheese ... some of my fav djs in the city . If you're out on a Sunday, it is my favorite night

Vincent Fiorito

Awesome door guys . I remember when we first opened Moes Cantina in river north and I took care of them everytime they came up. They don't return the favor. Way to be industry. Fucking clowns.

Dana Danielle

Hold on to your purses ! Many of my friends have had them stollen! Sketchy staff and people!

Femke van Ginkel

Very nice club! Good music and interesting people!

Alex Grunberg

Very crapy line . Also they hire someone to spill your drink, and clean it up after you...awkward.

Pascale W.

best nightclub in chicago , not to mention tastiest late night snacks and friendliest staff

Natalia Derevianko

WARNING! WATCH YOUR BELONGINGS! If I could give this place a ZERO I would! Security personnel are very condescending people!

Angie Osmanski

Great atmosphere an good drinks

Vince L

There is a burger thats not on the menu called the Art Attack. Named after Arturo G. , this thing is the bomb!

Elizabeth Wypasek

Consistently best nightclub in Chicago !

Janai Williams

Make sure to check out Cole (the man) Cameron at the back bar !!! He's a certified mixologist <3

~b .

if you're a poser and like to pretend like you're talking to people while really looking around to see who's looking at you, this place is a perfect fit...

Leah Frisbee

Great place to meet people and have a drink

Nicky Digital

This place is so underground that it's actually literally underground.

Matt Hensler

Went here for a private event . Service was good except for the security guards - they were rude: pushed me out of the way to get to the back room to do basically nothing.

Adam Seger

Try a bottle of hum-70 proof and delicious with Effen Cucumber or Patron

Dana Tedesco

Did you know they have the best grilled cheese sandwiches in the WORLD??? See @UG_Allen for #VIP treatment!!!

Sofia

Grilled cheese is AMAZING. A must!

Jennifer Straub

Typical, trendy nightclub . This place doesn't offer a lot of seating space. That perk is reserved for those with bottle service .

Laurie

This place is only fun as an after-hours bar . Don't waste your time until everywhere else is closed. The crowd is kind of sketch and the venue is a bit small. The drinks aren't that great either.

Réjane T

The DJ lineup here's usually pretty amazing...love me some StoneRokk

Ieva Sasnauskaite

still don't understand why people would go here. bartenders def don't know how to make real shots!

Jessie Moskowitz

Went here for the first time last night. Kept waiting for a game of lasertag to start.

Marcelo Miranda

I get to most VIP places elsewhere but quit this one after 5 minutes of being treated like shit.

Jasmine Jenkins

Make your life easier and RSVP for events

David Bozin

Cool bouncer but music and crowd....Especially bartender is quite mediocre.

Marcus Ramirez

Try the "Swedish Fish " shots.

Diana Florez

Had a confirmed reservation for tonight and was told to go somewhere else and return. Visiting for the first time.
