My FavoritesExperience Amazing Chicago Nightlife
LIGHT UP THE NIGHT
A night out in Chicago will exceed all your expectations.
Because this city gets even more vibrant and unique when the sun goes down.
Chicago comes to life at night
Whatever you’re looking to experience, you’ll find it here.
Chicago has some of the nation’s best restaurants, a deep-rooted history of Jazz and Blues Music, and a diverse theatre and comedy scene that’s full of talent.
Add to that a thriving LGBTQ community that invites everyone to enjoy some fierce drag performances and epic dance parties, and you have a city that really comes to life after hours.
