Gay clubs in chicago under 21


What GLBT clubs or nightspots in Chicago accept unders?

Are there any clubs, bars, or what-have-you in Chicago that are both lesbian-centric (and hopefully straight-friendly) and open to the under crowd?


My best friend 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 underfriendly GLBT-centric venues in Chicago other than a coffee house called 'Cafe Pride'- the website of which is cute well and truly dead.

So, fellow MeFites, I beg of you: Help a guy serve a girl out?

Northalsted, aka "Boystown," is the historical center of Chicago’s LGBTQ+ scene, but superb 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 Society for Human Rights, was founded in Chicago in , 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

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 drag brunch. You'll need it after a late hours out on the town.
