Great dance bar. You'll hear stuff you won't hear at other boystown bars but it's so awesome to dance to. Best after hours bar in Chicago!!!
ChicagoistAugust 1, 2014One of our picks for the best gay and lesbian bars in Chicago also makes this list for its eclectic DJ lineup and its welcome, accommodating vibe. Read more
I've traveled the US and lived in Europe, and I still think Berlin Nightclub is one of the best dance clubs I have been to... especially DJ Greg Haus playing stuff you won't hear elsewhere!
This is a great nightspot for men and women. The crowd is pretty evenly mixed, unlike a lot of the bars in Boystown, which makes it a lot easier to find other lesbians and bisexual women!
Redeye ChicagoAugust 3, 2014Dark, loud and sweaty, this anything-goes melting pot of a dance club keeps the party going all week long with everything from theme parties to album release bashes to dollar drink night. Read more
This is by far the best after-hours club in Boystown. Music is awesome when Chester is DJ. Patrons are usually cool, and it gets packed after 2am on Tues, Thurs, Fri, Sat and some Sundays.- ChicagoistAugust 1, 2014Gay, straight, bi-, bi-curious and transgendered are all welcome on the dancefloor and the scene picks up significantly here after midnight.

Time Out ChicagoOctober 31, 2011This freak-friendly dance destination in Lakeview built its reputation back in the mid-’80s with a mix of German new-wave music, art installations and transvestite shows.
Dustin HaleyMay 16, 2015Actually had a great time here! The music was great, dancing was good, and they're open til 4am (5 on Saturdays)

My favorite place to dance in Chicago. The crowd is diverse, and the music is awesome! Go for Robyn night.
Get your drinks from Peter and get on that stage + dance with no shame. Use photo booth. Wash, rinse and repeat
join me on facebook followers ultradance5@gmail.com and Sam Padron on FB. Get ready to be delivered and delivered in a hurry.
Get a "long island" sub Midori for Coke, strong courage for good dancing! Generally referred to as Tokyo Tea ♥ Enjoy
It's cash only, but the best way to end your night :)
Unlike some other boystown bars where cruising is the only goal, everyone is ready to dance their ass off and have fun.
Madonnarama is one incredible night. Always The First Sunday Of Every Month.
Patrick RayJune 25, 2010Jenae, Bobby, Scott, and Rew throw the best party every thurs! Reminds me of Outdanced back at Funky Bhudda!
Josh HiMarch 7, 2012Second time here don't really remember the first but had a great time booth times!
My favorite night is Madonnarama! Its the first Sunday of every month!
Watch out for the pick pocketters. Cash and ID only or else you'll regret it.- Go to another 4am club. All Berlin really wants is your money, even if you're a valued customer. $5-10 cover charge is pretty much the only way to get in. It's almost always never worth it.
Gay , Stright, and Transgender. This place has it all.
