  Music venue
  Beauty Bar West Town/Noble Square  1
  One of the trendiest places in West Town, this salon-themed club (with sister sites from Brooklyn to Portland) hosts events from rap shows to dance-offs, which explains the frequent $5 cover. Most of the beauty-shop hardware lining the walls is »
• 
  Classic Bar
  The Charleston Wicker Park/Bucktown
  Some people still complain bitterly about the Charleston's remodeling a couple years ago: gone are the stuffed armadillo, the lamp made from a ram's head, the pool table, and some of the bar's signature quirkiness. But there's still a reel-to-reel »
• 
  Music Bar
  Delilah's Lincoln Park
  Imagine if every last bit of grit, street cred, authenticity, and tattooed flesh in all of Lincoln Park were forced into one delightfully creaky, dimly lit, two-story bar. Wait, that actually happened. And if that's not enough, the whiskey selection »
• 
  Bar/Lounge
  Encore Loop
  Encore, a Kimpton Group-managed "lunch club and liquid lounge," morphs into a cocktail lounge in the evening, with a DJ most nights, and classic drinks such as old-fashioneds and brandy Alexanders. The overall ambience is comfortably luxurious, if somewhat affected. »

  Classic Bar
  Hideout Wicker Park/Bucktown  17
  The Hideout’s location, just off Elston in the middle of an industrial corridor, seems like an unlikely one for a bar. But that doesn’t stop lines from forming outside for the dance parties, live music shows, theatrical performances, and soup »
• 
  Bar/Lounge
  Morseland Rogers Park/West Rogers Park
  Rogers Park mainstay Morseland has music just about nightly, a solid menu of food (brunch is rumored to be especially good), and an outdoor patio that's open when the weather permits. The beer list is respectable: currently ten taps, 29 »

  DJ /Dance Bar
  Murasaki Sake Lounge Gold Coast/Mag Mile/Streeterville
  Neighborhood patrons say this used to be a private club back in the day, and from the looks of it—low turquoise lights, pink walls, fluorescent halos around columns—the bar hasn’t been renovated since. But don’t be fooled; this is perhaps »
• 
  4 AM Bar
  The Owl Logan Square
  There's a waterfall behind the bar—that’s definitely something. Fortunately, though, the 4 AM spot brought to Logan Square by the people behind Estelle's, Easy Bar, and Alive One has a handful of other amenities, including a solid rotation of 20 »
• 
  Bar/Lounge
  Red Line Tap Rogers Park/West Rogers Park
  There's not much to the Red Line Tap: bar on the left, stage on the right, a couple ancient arcade games, the requisite pool table. That's part of its charm, though—whatever it's doing, it's not trying too hard. There are »

  DJ /Dance Bar
  The Sovereign Edgewater
  A sublimely unpretentious neighborhood joint just off the busy corner of Broadway and Granville, with friendly bartenders, a good crowd, and a killer jukebox. What else to say? Pours are cheap and generous, and six-packs are available for takeout. The »
