Time Out ChicagoOctober 31, 2011
This basement club in the River North gallery district has had the deep, underground techno sound on lock for some time now. It still has the illicit feel of an after-hours spot for big-name DJs. Read more

Bringing some quality artists and rarely too crowded, Spy Bar continues to be a welcomed alternative to the less than awesome neighbor across the street.

The address is incorrect here on foursquare - it's actually at 646 Franklin. This club is known for the underground feel - Big Sound, Global Vibe.

I love going here for the BASS and to dance, so many nice people here always trying to meet some girl named Molly? Hahaha

For a straight bar the ratio of guys and girls was WAY OFF talk about a sausage fest and the girls that were there, do they even have mirrors?! Busted! Good music though except at the end, too ghetto.

Some decent djs here but overall a trashy crowded nightclub, I don't get the hype.
Joseph B.April 28, 2015
A total waste of money, especially for guys. $20 at the door, just to get downstairs and see that the place is empty. No refunds.
