Part of the Gay Chicago Guide — bars, events & things to do.
Chicago, Illinois
An Uptown bar and grill with comfort food, drag bingo, and sports.
Gay-friendly bar and grill on Clark Street near the Uptown/Ravenswood border, built around comfort food, drag, and a sports-bar crowd. The kitchen leans American comfort with a Southern touch — loaded tater-tot nachos, the half-pound Buddy Burger, tacos — alongside house cocktails and rotating local craft taps from breweries like Begyle, Half Acre, and Dovetail. Drag bingo is the signature night, hosted by local queens with prizes and audience voting; karaoke with a deep songbook and a weekly pub quiz round out the calendar. The room has a warm, handcrafted-woodwork feel with vintage bulbs, and the mix of sports fans and drag regulars makes it more easygoing neighborhood hangout than Boystown nightclub — a good pick if you're north of the main strip and want a low-key night with a show.
