Chicago's Nightlife and The
Neighborhoods
The lively locals
make a night out in Chicago a memorable experience.
Maybe it's a release from the weather,
the good-hearted Midwestern values or the annual suffering courtesy
of the Cubs. Perhaps it's a combination of all these factors.
Whatever the reasons, Chicagoans love their pubs. Fun-loving pubclubbing
is a way of life here, and the people's winning attitude in this area
makes this one of the most fun cities in North America. Some bars that
stay open until 5 a.m., and while this makes some visitors quiver, it
only inspires the locals.
Because of the dense concentration of pubs in each area, its quite
common to encounter a group of people bar-hopping from place to place
as part of a pub crawl.
The message is clear: If one is to party in Chicago, it must do it
with the vigor of the locals.
Most visitors make a beeline to the "Rush and Division" part
of town, and while this area does have several good choices, there are
other neighborhoods to explore:
• Gold
Coast/Division. Chicago's most renowned nightlife center.
• Lincoln
Park/Wrigleyville. Hangout of the young and lively, due in
no small part to the location of Wrigley Field.
• The
Loop. The central business area, making it convenient for
those in town for conventions or business meetings.
• The
Suburbs. The South Side, Naperville, Downers Grove and more
are a beacon for those seeking the fun of Chicago with a localized flair.
