Podlasie Club 2918 North Central Park Avenue, Chicago, IL 60618

"You literally can't get in unless you carry cash with you. For those that travel light, you must bring a debit card or sufficient cash, or I suppose know the bouncer or something. You can not use any other form of payment to get in, though theyll let you put your card down for drinks. I won't comment on the rest of it though it seemed empty and no one was dancing."

"I went here with my Girlfriend on NYE and she said she felt very uncomfortable as the only Asian woman there. She drank too much because she was so anxious and then were asked to leave. I can understand being asked to leave in the scenario but what disturbed me was the manager who asked us to leave spoke exclusively to me and pretty much ignored my girlfriend. He never once asked her if she was ok or made any effort to ensure that I was actually her boyfriend. He just told me to get the girl out of there and go somewhere else. I would be very concerned as a woman attending this bar, they are more concerned with avoiding responsibility than creating a safe space for dancers."

"Great place with a good variety of drinks, music and comfortable seating in the bar area. Good energy with a non pretentious crowd."

"Incredible atmosphere, super inclusive, friendly, welcoming, and very very well curated talent!! Lots of history in this place. Has a well stocked bar, cozy lounge area, and perfect sized dance floor with incredible sound system. I come here a few times a month and it’s never a bad time!!"

"Wandered in after having passed countless times. It’s been under the same ownership since 1986 and is a true example of a business that recognized what it had and changed with the times in order to not only preserve something that was truly special, but make sure it was able to stick around long enough to be enjoyed by younger generations. Please stop by and support this bar so it’s here for years to come."
