The California Clipper Reviews
Professionalism. It's always a high energy, very sexy show.
The Clipper Cabaret has the best burlesque performers in Chicago and the world. Miss Eva La Feva is the producer and lead performer of the show and she knows how to put on a great burlesque show. <3
Clipper Cabaret is a blast! It's an immersive throwback to the days of vaudeville and variety shows. Every time I go there's a little something for everybody. The venue feels like an authentic speakeasy and the drinks are perfect, classic cocktails.

The California Clipper is a vintage bar with a relaxed, low-key atmosphere. Featuring cozy booths and a long bar, the establishment has a dark ambiance and often hosts live music, especially during the summer when live performances are nearly nightly. The bartenders are known for their expertise and provide good service, offering a selection of classic cocktails and a diverse list of drinks, including non-alcoholic options. The space is lively and active, perfect for dancing, events, or just enjoying a drink. The vintage look and neon red glow create a cool, old-school vibe, while the bathroom, decorated with graffiti, adds a humorous touch. Although parking can be challenging, the bar is wheelchair accessible and easy to reach on foot. It’s a place where stories and good vibes flow freely, making it a favorite spot for both locals and visitors.
