Dance and Spin the Night Away
Chicago has plenty to offer when it comes to nightlife, but if you ever find yourself in a club rut, it’s time to throw your evening into a Spin.
While located at the south end of Boystown, Chicago’s GLBT nightlife neighborhood, the club caters to a diverse clientele. No matter what your label or orientation, Spin provides plenty to look forward to. Just around the corner from Orange, there are weekly promotions, the most popular of which may be the midnight shower contest on Friday nights. Men and women get wet and wild every week, bearing nothing but a tiny towel and leaving little to the imagination.
There are three bars available, and the club is filled with TV screens playing pop, urban, and dance music videos. Two pool tables are located near the front windows, giving a prime view of the Belmont Avenue and Halsted Street intersection. A small dance floor is located in the back (open after 10 p.m. Wednesday – Sunday), along with a bar and vinyl booths to rest those tired feet.
Every day of the week offers some kind of drink deal and/or special event. Feeling retro? Thursdays are “Awesome ‘80s” night. Play free pool and board games on Monday nights while enjoying $10 vodka-lemonade pitchers. And to make the most of your dollars, stop by on Wednesday nights. Five dollars at the door is the admission price for Dollar Drink Night, where all well drinks, wine, and domestic drafts are $1.
I have had quite a few nights out with friends that started here. Even when there were only two or three of us, you’d be amazed at how many friends you can make after an evening of dollar drinks.
