It's one of the best bars in pilsen, especially if you like to dance, have a good time and talk to some gorgeous ladies

So, as soon as we walked in , the guy denied the entrance, along with a tall girl, they said we were not allow to get in, after I saw the security guy kissing a girl after the ligh. But after we left they were trying to say we were “moving side to side( in a getto way) however we attempted to go there, and after the guy saw we saw him kissing that black girl, he came and said we were not allowed.
Was racism, homophobia and not polite at all, they were so rude and this tall lady was covering this guys doing their disrespect, however they keep letting get people in, and keep making fun of me .
I think I would never do that to some one else and disrespect people like that, they were so rude and as much as I admite this club is cool, because is the best one out of pilsen and spend a lot of my time and money here, I would never do it again just because of this black guy and this tall lesvian.

Security can be interesting, but a good place with plenty of drink options. Well thought out space.

The music is great and all, however, if you need to use the bathroom, two words, GOOD LUCK. There is only 2 bathrooms for men and women respectively and they are single occupancy. The bathroom lines are longer than the actual lines to get in.

This is a fun place! I wish that they had a bigger variety of DJ’s but overall I enjoy it. They have a pool table, booths, and tables. The dance floor is pretty spacious and the drinks are pretty good too. I have been multiple times and have enjoyed myself each time.

This bar has caused so much damage to the Pilsen neighborhood and is a major safety hazard for residents. It invites dangerous people, and there are constant issues. We have many one-way streets, but people from this bar drive the wrong way at high speeds. I constantly hear tires screeching late at night. There are regular fights, and after people leave the bar, you can hear them screaming, “Help me!” There have been incidents where African Americans have hit residents, and white people do tricks in the middle of the street, all while under the influence of alcohol.

I've even seen people having sex in the middle of the street. There are constant fights over parking spaces, with people racing to park, leaving no parking for the actual residents. Drunk people bang on cars, smoke weed, and create a chaotic and unsafe environment. If people are getting this drunk, it shows the bar isn't following Illinois regulations. The situation is completely out of control and unsafe for everyone.

Wrestling Friends host a Monday Night Raw watch party here. We were nervous about the area, people, and prices but it was a great experience. Hosts, staff, and everyone attending were so friendly. It was sponsored by well known liquor companies so excellent drink specials, free drinks, and pizza. We only spent $11 between 2 of us and we felt GOOD.

As a foreigner (and not Latino ...) visiting Chicago all i can say is this is by far the greatest bar / concerts place i've been in this city !
Great vibe, nice concerts & dj's, friendly waitress & waiters and very secure !
I don't understand reviews saying there is dangerous people in here oO ?! I've been there a few times and all i felt was good vibes ... maybe people feeling unsecure here need to go out a little more :D
And what about reviews saying "waiters skiping you because you are not latino" total bullshit ...
