You’re in downtown Chicago but you have no idea where to go first for the night. This depends what you are looking for. Below I have reviewed the hottest bars in downtown Chicago.

Division and Rush Area

Looking for the most concentrated spot in the city? Are you a bar-hopper? If so, this is the perfect place you spend the night. There are tons of bars in this one area. This area caters to a less fancy demographic. You will see tons of people in jeans just having a good time. ATM machines are right next to the bars for easy and quick access. There are no limitations for drinks and there’s tons of places to get food late after you’re done partying.

River North Area

Martini Park

This bar/restaurant combination caters to more classy demographic. Girls are often wearing nice dresses while guys are seen in dress pants. The place has 3, count them, 3 huge bars. The place gets packed on the weekends and is a MUST SEE if you are staying near the river north area. If you drop by on a week night, you can catch live-band karaoke sessions as well. There is a big dance floor that is normally packed on Friday and Saturday nights. The staff is always helpful and friendly but drinks can get costly as the night goes on.
