Sidetrack - Gay bar in Chicago - 3349 N Halsted St, USA

Fast service, but very very busy! Lots of bars and different drink options. The rooftop closes around 11:30, but they have a couple other places to go. The dancefloor was shoulder to shoulder, but still fun to dance when it's not so busy. Cute Halloween decorations too!

Visiting Chicago, and everyone I spoke to said I had to check this place out. So I did. And they were all right; this place was a fun night. Good mix of people, good mix of music, relatively fast service and reasonable prices. The one caution I would give to people is to avoid their pre-made and frozen drinks. They are so saccharine, the ones I got I had to struggle to finish. Don't get me wrong, the first couple sips are amazing, but the whole drink is just too sweet in general. With that said, other basic drinks I got from here were just as good as anyplace! And despite the unwelcome sugar-rush, still a good time!

Very large club that's super clean with friendly staff. Beautiful patio. Loved the Halloween decorations. If you're in boys town, this is a must stop!

There is never a dull moment at this band show tunes sing along on Sundays. His epic best place shall ever go for the LGBTQIA+ community and all others.

This long hair Bartender has an extreme personality, he’s very nice and sweet, something difficult to find today’s day in many establishments in this industry. Congratulations buddy, you do an amazing job!

I hosted a birthday gathering at Sidetrack, and the staff was very accommodating to me and my guests. We were given the Wooden Bar for the evening during Musical Monday, my favorite themed night at their bar. It was a perfect evening! I look forward to celebrating more events at Sidetrack in the future.

Such a cool place to visit. A must for visiting Chicago! We loved it here and had a great time. So many different rooms with different bars and vibes in each room. There were a lot of safety measures in place and it felt comfortable there.

my friends and i were having a really great time for nye until we got kicked out for allegedly smoking weed in the club?? it felt extremely racially profiled and misogynistic since we were all mexican women and they didn’t even try to talk to us they straight up just accused us and then kicked us out. at first we thought they were just trying to get us off the stage (which is understandable) but then they started being super mean and aggressive towards us. we were so confused since we were drunk and it was loud and these men were yelling at us. once we figured out what was going on we told the guy to pat us down and check our bags cause we didn’t have anything on us but he refused?? not only that but they made us wait OUTSIDE IN THE FREAKING FREEZING COLD IN OUR MINI DRESSES since our jackets were in coat check. like i understand that there are always people trying to break the rules but kicking out innocent people who had nothing to do with it will only create a bad reputation for you ESPECIALLY when we paid $45 ahead of time for this event only to be kicked out after an hour. i was genuinely so excited to go here cause people hyped it up so much and i had friends visiting from out of state with me but this experience left such a bad taste in my mouth. the guy who kicked us out was extremely condescending the entire time we were just trying to get answers. just wish they had communicated with us better at the very least.
