Scarlet Bar

"I liked the music. The fog machines were a bit much. The food was wet from spilled drinks. There were two different times in the ~2 hours I was there that there were really awful smells all of a sudden and they lingered for a long time. An employee walked through the one earlier in the night with Febreeze but the second one was not dealt with. It’s very packed in but the crowd was nice, mostly women and non-men/queer people, so it was a comfortable vibe. The back bar had nice AC, and they do a few shot specials throughout the night, ours was at 12:40 if I remember correctly. There were a lot less people after 12:30, but people were still coming in at 1:10 when we left. The cover was $10."

"Nice little getaway for my first night out while visiting Chicago. It also was Harry Styles night so they played Harry Style and One Direction all night. Great drinks and good vibes!"

"Everyone is super duper friendly and theres a low tolerance for any trashy behavior. Drinks are affordable and the staff will keep an eye out for any one harassing you"

"Way too many of the sexiest people I’ve ever seen in my life, all in one place!!! Great night, It’s difficult to enjoy myself in public but I did. The bartender had a beautiful soul and such a great listener! Sadly, THEY ONLY TAKE CARD and I love cash so I already maxed my card out on the atm but lots of cuties that’ll cover your drinks!!! "

"bar feels like you're at a sleepover pretending with your friends about what it would like to go clubbing. the music is so girlypop and the drinks are so cheap. there have been a few creeps here and there but mostly sweet girls, gays, and theys and one of the only places in boystown that feels respectful of queer women / anyone that isn't a white gay man"
