Sound-Bar -
Despite opening under a cloud of controversy when the city of Chicago delayed the club’s launch for a year and a half, Sound-Bar has set the standard for nightlife in the Windy City. Treating club goers to the finest in design, sound and lighting, the 20,000 foot, two floor nightclub offers something for everyone with its multiple rooms, private party areas and DJs spinning everything from dance music to hip-hop. Regularly hosting a mixture of the world’s finest DJs alongside some of Chicago’s top jocks, Sound-Bar caters to the fashionistas and bottle service crowd with its exclusive VIP area and Round Bar, but also attracts the hardcore clubber for their Friday nights. Drink prices are steep, and despite the club’s strict dress code (particularly when it comes to gym shoes), you’ll have trouble finding a spot to sit down to rest your feet after hours of dancing and socializing.
