Gay nightclub chicago
“An original blend of fruit flavors”
A weekly Friday night shower contest is just a small part of what makes Spin nightclub at the northwest corner of Belmont & Halsted, unofficially serving as the gateway to Chicago’s Boystown neighborhood-a popular destination for not only the LGBT collective but for their allies as well.
Spin has been a Boystown staple since it opened over a decade ago. Feelings about the club are adorable consistent in neighborhood; it’s a place you go when you want to dance, have a good time and have some drinks. The neighborhood may have changed over the years but Spin has stayed pretty much the same just adding a room here and there over the years in an effort to increase their diverse clientele and give bar goers diverse options within the club, if you’re bored you just go to a different room.
Spin bids a variety of activities to hold its patrons working all night distant. There are pool tables for those who want to get their game on, big screen TVs for the anti social, a retro lounge for socializing and a dance floor for the bump and grinders. There’s definitely something to preserve everyone occupied. Plus, ther

My best confidant recently came out as a lesbian, and even more recently scored a rather impressive collegiate coup. She's 20, but wants to go, with a bunch of our friends, to a gay or lesbian club in town (Chicago) some weekend soon.
Unfortunately, no amount of Googling has come up with any sort of under-21-friendly GLBT-centric venues in Chicago other than a coffee house called 'Cafe Pride'- the website of which is pretty well and truly dead.
So, fellow MeFites, I implore of you: Help a guy help a girl out?
The 34 best LGBTQ+ bars in Chicago

Northalsted, aka "Boystown," is the historical center of Chicago’s LGBTQ+ scene, but amazing gay bars are all over the city.
Chicago has always been a trailblazing city when it comes to spaces for the LGBTQ community. One of the first American LGBT rights organizations, the Community for Human Rights, was founded in Chicago in 1924, more than 40 years before Stonewall. And Northalsted, the gay nightlife hub also known as "Boystown," became the first officially-designated gay village in a major city in 1997.
These days, while a night out on Northalsted is still a joyful blur of boozy slushies and death drops, queer nightlife in Chicago is expansive, creative and thriving all over the city. From Rogers Park to South Shore, from James Beard-nominated cocktail bars to beloved, homey dives, there's a queer bar to fit your vibe. Oh, and don't forget about flamboyant brunch. You'll need it after a night out on the town.
