Sound Bar 226 West Ontario Street, Chicago, IL 60654

"$18 for a Red Bull and a Sprite is absolutely OBSCENE. Even the United Center doesn't charge those prices. I can't even imagine what they charge for alcohol. Tips are pre-figured in to the total, so who knows how much the bartenders are tipping themselves. They tried to charge $25 for a cover at the door when it was advertised at $15 online, and when my buddy kindly pointed out that it was advertised at that price, the door girl very rudely and snobbily replied "OkAy, WeLl YoU cAn JuSt BuY tIcKeTs OnLiNe ThEn." Too much sound bleed between the upstairs and downstairs booths, so it sounded like one big mess. Couldn't even go back out to extend my parking because they're way too strict on no re-entry, and I just love getting price gouged to oblivion and only being able to stay for one hour. No wonder this place was empty. Likely won't ever be back."

"The music choices here are terrible. It’s either old house music or early 2000’s hip hop. Club is full of early 20’s. There are no water fountains and they charge for a cup of tap water which is illegal. Places of establishments must have a free water source for guests. There is automatic gratuity on checks which isn’t disclosed via postage. The cover starts at $25+. There are better night clubs with better music and atmosphere."

"If you are looking for security don't go here. The 1 star was for the line moving fast and the bartender being friendly. The place was a pushing health hazard. First the security is looking over the floor and seeing people being obnoxious. They do nothing about it until multiple people tried to flag them down. When they do they move the offending party a little ways away from that part of the crowd. When people started to push to try to get closer to the DJ booth the security just stood there looking at all of us getting smushed. There was no crowd control. I felt bad for the people in the middle who were trying to get security's attention. That degree of pushing in a hot room with barely any AC and alcohol is a incident waiting to happen. Speaking of waiting, them having you wait 4 hours for a headliner without giving any heads ip whatsoever is terrible. Never going here again. It's a safety hazard and the security do not care."

"It’s a cool place, with good music! There are two floors, with different DJs.. In my opinion, this is sometimes good when you are not happy with the music, but sometimes bad because you split the audience.. I didn’t have any problem to enter (I saw many negative reviews related to that here..) I order a gin cocktail ($18) and sugar free Redbull ($10). We watched a Dj, so we bought our ticket’s in advance ($15 each)."

"Pretty neat place. A lot of security outside on the sidewalk and they do check everything even a thorough bag check. Tickets check is inside right when you come in and the coat check is in the basement. There was no line coming in and a small line going out but it was moving fast. The ladies working there are very nice. There is some seating area in the hallway before getting to the main space. There are 2 bars in one of the spaces and a few VIP seating areas. Drinks are pretty pricey, 14 dollars for 2 water bottles so you can only imagine how much alcohol drinks are. That being said, drinks are good and strong. Another thing is that you could kinda sorta hear the music from the other area but it's not too noticable. The sound system is so freaking awesome though and their light game is on point. Super dope vibes! We had a great time!"
