Steps from the Belmont el stop, Berlin has been a gay destination with a very diverse crowd. Rolling Stone dubs Berlin the Best Dance Club in Chicago. The dance floor is empty before midnight, but Berlin guarantees an energetic dance floor after 1:30am almost every night of the week.

 post your take on Berlin

 

By far the most alternative and funky bar in Lakeview, Berlin is charged with inquisitive, pulsing energy. Attracting a full gamut of club-goers and late-night revelers, everything from bi-curious, to by-the-book gay and lesbian, to by-the-way "I’m straight", the club prizes itself on its city-wide reputation for acceptance and unity. Truly one of the best people watching spots in the neighborhood, things really start jumping around 2 AM when other bars close.

   

The space is divided into two halves: one a bar, one a dance floor. With its retro sixties and seventies feel, the club feels a little urban punk meets Genie and the Brady Bunch. The modern design works for the clientele, loyal customers return again and again to hear break-beats, house, dance, and disco—the format changes nightly.

 

Critically acclaimed as the "Best Dance Club in Chicago" from New City, Rolling Stone, & Spin Magazines. Best bets for a good night are Tuesdays when Chicago legend Ralphi Rosario takes the turn tables, and Fridays with DJ Greg Haus. Weekends find the bar turning heavily gay male after 2AM, usually filtering in from Halsted.

 
 

Hightlights:  eclectic crowd, bi-curious boys, heavily gay male after 2AM Wednesday, Friday & Saturday, gay-specific on Tuesdays & Thursdays, Tuesday nights with DJ Ralphi Rosario, "CosMix" Fridays with DJ Greg Haus

Hours:  until 4AM - Saturdays 5AM
