Keisha KornbreadNovember 20, 2011Boystown is the epicenter of Chicago's gay life. Its friendly,welcoming and safe.....if you're white. Nonwhites are frequently harassed by the police and discriminated against here at local favorites.
Nice seeing all the pride themed sidewalks from Belmont to Bradley. Happy Pride, Boystown! 🌈 😍
Seth HannanSeptember 6, 2011for a small town gay teen, this place is an absolute heaven of acceptance, love, and respect! I can't wait to live here!
I LOVE BOYSTOWN! The strip is one of the best places to get great entertainment, shop, eat, dance, drink, you name it! Plus you can always feel right at home here.
- Come to United House Mondays at Hydrate...hosted by Cyon Flare. It is old school house music from 10pm on. No cover before midnight, $5 thereafter.
- Friday pub crawl: be at Roscoe's before 10 to beat cover. Beat cover at Hydrate before 1130. No cover at Charlie's before midnight. No cover ever at Sidetrack, Scarlet, Lucky Horseshoe, or Lil Jims

Ross GuthrieApril 26, 2012Fin a local to show you a good time. There are no shortage of good time to be had here!- Sunday Funday! Hit up @scarletbar for Liquid Brunch and get 10 $bottles of champagne at Minibar
A nice break from the vapid ugly shit show called Weho. I always love a night out in Chitown's boystown
Arturo LunaAugust 20, 2016Un lugar muy interesante, buena comida, algo caro así que si eres comprador compulsivo lleva dinero suficiente.
