Little Attitude at Big Chicks

big chicksDespite what the name might suggest, Big Chicks is a north side bar that mostly caters to gay men and is miles away from the Boystown scene, both literally and figuratively. Located in the Uptown neighborhood, the bar features plenty of unique artwork and often has a crowd as mixed as its drinks. From preppy boys and jocks to blue collars and 'bears,' everyone is laid back and attitude-free.

This small bar gets crowded on the weekends, but there are plenty of specials to check out during the week also. Mondays feature $1 burgers, Tuesdays offer a beer-of-the-month special, Wednesdays are $4 martini nights, and Thursdays provide $10 Blue Moon pitchers. On Fridays and Saturdays, the quiet long room next to the bar area does a complete turn-around, becoming a popular dance floor where DJs spin house and dance music.

Curvy women, muscled men, lean lesbians, and husky homos: all are invited to have a burger and a beer at Big Chicks.

    $1 burgers are always a great way to get people to walk through the door. A priceless promotion that will always work.

    And what’s great is that the $1 burgers don’t “taste” cheap either. They make for a great after-work meal.
