An inviting
neighborhood bar with less emphasis
on image. Relaxed & friendly, a nice
place to spend an evening with
friends. Cocktail draws a Lesbian
crowd on Mondays. Ask the bartender
for the house-specialty, the
"award-winning" Patron Cafe Martini. |

Greeted by a red glowing and
glittering arrow overhead, one immediately knows
that they’ve reached the heart of Boystown,
Chicago’s closest thing to a red light district, as
they approach Cocktail. Sometimes welcomed by a drag
hostess (often Chicago Cher or Miss Floozie),
patrons enter a sort of progressive house pub where
go-go boys frequently ascend the bar room floor,
usually on Tuesday and Thursday nights. |

Exposed brick offers a
contrast to the large wooden bar that centers
the space while velvet curtains frame the
storefront windows. Perched on the corner of the
neighborhood’s most traversed intersection, the
window space often fills up with people
watchers, sometimes gawkers. |
|
|
Popular with an out-of-college to
middle-aged crowd, the patrons are mostly gay men, a
few straight friends mixed in. With more of a
progressive pub feel than mega nightclub, the
management boasts live DJ’s five nights a week. Most
popular nights are the go-go boy Tuesdays and
Thursdays with an extension of the box dancers to
some weekend nights. |
