    Great dance bar. You'll hear stuff you won't hear at other boystown bars but it's so awesome to dance to. Best after hours bar in Chicago!!!

    This is a great nightspot for men and women. The crowd is pretty evenly mixed, unlike a lot of the bars in Boystown, which makes it a lot easier to find other lesbians and bisexual women!

    I've traveled the US and lived in Europe, and I still think Berlin Nightclub is one of the best dance clubs I have been to... especially DJ Greg Haus playing stuff you won't hear elsewhere!

    Dark, loud and sweaty, this anything-goes melting pot of a dance club keeps the party going all week long with everything from theme parties to album release bashes to dollar drink night. Read more

    This is by far the best after-hours club in Boystown. Music is awesome when Chester is DJ. Patrons are usually cool, and it gets packed after 2am on Tues, Thurs, Fri, Sat and some Sundays.

    My favorite place to dance in Chicago. The crowd is diverse, and the music is awesome! Go for Robyn night.

    This freak-friendly dance destination in Lakeview built its reputation back in the mid-’80s with a mix of German new-wave music, art installations and transvestite shows.

    Get a "long island" sub Midori for Coke, strong courage for good dancing! Generally referred to as Tokyo Tea ♥ Enjoy

    Unlike some other boystown bars where cruising is the only goal, everyone is ready to dance their ass off and have fun.

    Go to another 4am club. All Berlin really wants is your money, even if you're a valued customer. $5-10 cover charge is pretty much the only way to get in. It's almost always never worth it.
