Nightclubs in Chicago?

Question

Just wondered what are the names of and the locations of the best nightclubs in Chicago - Looking for funky places with soulful, vocal house music full of beautiful people and maybe some bongo drums - that sort of place......?

Answer 1

I don't know of any clubs with Bongo drums lol but some good clubs would be Crobar, Excalibur, Vision, Ghost Bar, Redno 5 for after hours.

Answer 2

House of Blues is great.  Right downtown.

Answer 3

Bongo drums? Is this a new fad I don't know about.

As for "funky, soulful" house music, try Funky Buddah, rednofive, krem

Better yet, check out Time Out Chicago. They have a pretty complete listing of every club, the type of music, who's DJing, the cover charge (if there is one) and even how to get there on the bus. You can check it out online or pick up a copy at a newsstand or bookstore.
