Scarlet

This gay club was super cute. They played good music and it was super fun to dance and sing along. Although they close at 2, they kicked us all out around 20 min earlier.

Scarlet Bar is more than just a place to grab a drink--it's an experience. With its friendly staff, great music, and endless opportunities for fun, it's no wonder why it's my favorite spot in Chicago. Whether you're looking for a night out with friends or a solo adventure, Scarlet Bar is the place to be. Cheers to unforgettable nights and endless memories at Scarlet Bar!

First time coming to Scarlett for a friend's birthday and I have the day that the vibes are immaculate.

Music was fire and constantly playing songs that my friends knew the lyrics to so everyone was enjoying themselves. The walls were gorgeous with an assortment of magazine pictures featuring Taylor Swift and other icons. And the lighting was bopping for my eyes!

Definitely enjoyed the servers or bartenders getting on the bar and scrolling club-goers with free Fireball shots!
Felt safe there and even tho the place is smaller than expected, I will definitely be coming in again to party!!

Good staff. Comfortable environment. Amazing music nights amazing drinks. I highly recommend.

Amazing vibe, atmosphere is top tier. Only issue... the bartender, Eric, sucks. He will insult you for your tips being insufficient and overall kills your vibe. Be warned!

Very young crowd tried to wave a bartender down for 6-7 mins (for the duration of 2-3 songs) but they were too busy dancing and singing to even notice walked out immediately after never returned. Vibes were way off.

This place isn't a gay club, half the crowd was made up of straight cis couples. The drinks are decently priced, music is alright, and it's objectively a cute spot but the crowd is rough. The bouncers were nice.

They advertise drink deals and don't follow through when you get there. Crooks. Do not go here.

Current Covid state means no co-mingling. You can only breath the are of those you cane with. No dancing, only getting up from your assigned place to sit to use the bathroom. You have to wear a mask to go to the bathroom and walk amongst others. This place seemed one of the stricter places. This was my observation from driving through Boystown. A lot of people were not wearing masks. Boystown might be a COVID hotspot, but whatevs. I suppose you're taking that risk.

Service was friendly and prompt. Was it Rihanna night? This place loved her music. No qualms because I love her too. Had a good time with my friend, by ourselves. Haha. Drinks were priced as expected and very strong, so greatly appreciated.

Good music, nice space, cool bartenders. Only issue when I went was an announcement about pickpocketing. Keep your purses, phones, etc. close. Also, they closed at 1:45 not 2am so don't show up last minute.
