Chicago, Illinois
A club-forward Boystown dance bar with go-go dancers and drag.
Splash is a gay bar and dance club on the North Halsted corridor in Lakeview's Northalsted, pairing a club-forward main floor with go-go dancers, EDM and house, and quieter lounge areas off to the side. It runs Wednesday through Sunday and stays open late, with Saturdays going until the early-morning hours. The signature nights are 'Sirens,' the Thursday drag show led by Mimi Marks and Aura Mayari, and a Sunday drag brunch that carries into a dedicated afternoon after-party. The crowd skews young and dance-minded, and the mix of a real dance floor plus lounge space makes it an easy anchor for a night out in one of the country's most established gay nightlife districts.
