NIGHT LIFE
After a nice day at a museum it’s time to have some Chicago fun at cheap
but cool hangouts.
Crowbar: Crowbar is an established Chicago tradition being one of the few nightclubs to actually last 12 years or more. It is now the upscale “it" spot for Chicago nightlife. There is, in fact, a no athletic gear dress code. It is strictly 21 and older. Thursdays and Fridays is old school and rock music and Saturdays it’s
house music. Never arrive before 11:30 p.m.
1543 N. Kingsbury
Hours: 11 p.m. to 4 a.m. Thursdays and Fridays
10 p.m. to 5 a.m. Saturdays
Drinks: From $6 to $8
D.O.C. Wine Bar: If you’re feeling super trendy, D.O.C. is the place to be. This small hangout for young urban professionals offers more than 100 wines by glass or bottle along with more standard cocktails. It’s, by its nature, more expense than a regular bar, but worth the money if you’re a wino. 2602 N. Clark St.
Hours:
Until 2 a.m. daily
www.docwinebarchicago.com
Exit: Exit is the punk and rock club to check out in Chicago. Exit has something
going on every night of the week, either a live band or a DJ and lots of giveaways, all of which are listed on their Web site. 1315 W. North Ave.

Drinks: Start at $1.50
www.exitchicago.com
The Funky Buddha Lounge: The Funky Buddha brings a little bit of everything to Chicago. The image is very worldly and this dance lounge has everything from house to jazz to football. Along with all the traditional liquors Funky Buddha also offers organic juices and teas. The Funky Buddha Lounge is open all week with standard bar prices. 728 W. Grand Ave.
www.funkybuddha.com
Griffin’s Public House: Griffin’s is the quintessential hippie music bar. They have live music four nights a week; usually of the Grateful Dead cover band variety and a large selection of beer. There’s not really any food, so eat before heading out. Griffin’s is
the perfect place for cheap beer and a mellow night. 2710 N. Halsted
So it is officially no longer a viable excuse to say that you can’t go out because you’re broke. It’s time to help yourself to cheap Chicago.
