Closet

Decades-old lesbian-run place in Boystown. Quiet earlier, it's packed after 2AM, oftentimes with a lot of hairless boys. Very fast service and videos from Mary, Missy, and Madonna. You'll find groups of lipstick lesbos chatting up young male couples and even the occasional open-minded straight who's wandered in here with friends. As midnight progresses into the wee hours, the chatting turns to...

The Closet is an unpretentious neighborhood spot with a loud and constant loop of music videos (and sports, when the game matters) that draws mostly lesbian regulars, although gay men and straights also show up. The space is not much bigger than a closet, which makes it easy to get up close and personal with other partiers. There's also a small dance floor that's usually packed on weekends....

I had the worst experience I've ever had at this bar. I used to come here regularly. It's mellow and I'd always meet a few people. Now I come by about once a month. I always bring a ton of cash...

I go here a lot but mostly for the laid back attitude, music and friendly staff. It's cash only and their drinks aren't huge or great and their tap beer selection is no bueno. But it's a great...

And boy, does it get crowded--especially around 2am, when party-people from closing time at other bars migrate here. The clientele is predominantly lesbian, lipstick and otherwise, though gay men and straight couples are not the least bit uncommon or uncomfortable.The DrawEnrique Iglesias,...

Out of all lesbian bars that were recommended to my friends and I for a fun night out in Chi-town, we chose the closest to our hotel. We were pleasantly surprised and not disappointed. A fun little place with a diverse crowd and friendly staff. They were kind to us out-of-towners and we seemed to just melt into the scene...

The Closet is a friendly neighborhood pub that happens to cater to a large gay and lesbian clientèle. Gays, lesbians and straights all congregate here to enjoy the nice selection of beers and the urban street scenes outside the window. This bar is also a popular hang-out for those who don't mind grooving on the compact dance-floor. If dancing is not your scene then you might want to head here...
