Sidetrack

Stop in by recommendation from a local while visiting from Philly. Went for the drag on Friday Jan 23 which was a winter weather advisory but the people were staying cozy with RuPaul’s Drag Race on the BIG screen! Got patted down when I walked in which I’m used to from Philly and it actually made me feel safe but, again, winter weather advisory so not packed. Only stayed for half an hour. Will definitely go back!

my first visit here was soooo much fun! music was absolutely everything. dance floor was so lively and everyone was so polite! amazing vibes going on. also the slushies are so yummy! the frozé tastes like starbursts! no crazy prices. got in so quick and danced the night away! also love the different rooms you can go to if you need a break from the craziness! i love sidetrack!

Making people w a disability sit in the courtyard is wild for a lgbtqia venue. Edit to review- after the response from venue to this review yesterday I returned last night without replying to see if it was different without warning and it was a complete change in vibe and energy from earlier in week. We are allowed to have a bad day. They did not make me stand to the side and wait for manager, they said we were welcome in entire venue, they were very kind, welcoming and I had a wonderful night. Musical Mondays are camp and diverse and culturally restorative. The call and response and audience participation were so fun. Thank you Side Track!

One of the largest and best gay bars in the world. Always great here!

Always a great experience at this place , will definitely coming back. Always a go to wherever I visit Chicago. I didn’t had food tho but other than that. Definitely a place to go for cheap drinks and good time.
