7. Smart Bar
As long as you’re wearing a shirt, shoes, and pants, anything goes at this laid-back Lakeview haven for deep-track techno/dubstep fans.
Originally on the fourth floor of the magnificent Wrigleyville building, this venerated dance club is now in the basement. A makeover in 2006 slicked up the looks a notch and brought back a vibrant young crowd.
The DJ spins a mix of techno, rave, funk, house and well, anything you can dance to. Expect an alternative mix of clientele.
Smart Bar hosts rock and dance fans alike allowing for award-winning co-mingling, co-rocking, and co-getting down. Just come ready to dance the night away.
