Hidden gem ! Tiny gay bar you’d pass by and never know is here. Entrance is a door near the Sayat-Nova sign and up carpeted stairs — average age: 40s/50s. Good music , good conversations - cash only .

It's dark, very dark inside. Cozy . Cocktails are cheap (cash only though, kids) and on slow nights the bartender will even order in food for you, if you want. Read more

Time Out Chicago

Since 1984, this bar off the Mag Mile has been a low-key, well-hidden hangout for middle-aged gays. Regulars drink cocktails and chat over dance music thumping at a comfortable level in the cozy space Read more

Worst service ever, the bartenders are more drunk than any patron, including the bum in the corner. This place, truly is a hole that's in the wall. Don't waste your time here.
