Millers Pum is apparently known for its ribs but I happened in off the street and wanted a burger and what a burger it turned out to be. I would definently rate the hamburger at Millers as the best I have ever had. I can't wait to try the ribs on my next trip to Chicago. Oh, the service should also get a mention as being nothing less than sensational as one should expect from an establishment of this caliber.

This place is so fun! I went there for my 21st birthday and I had a blast. It's a little pricey but then again, anywhere you go downtown is going to cost you. The shot girls are such sweethearts and the DJ's have that place pumping. I like the music selection the most, they play everything, not just one certain sound. There's also additional floors and a game room in the basement. The food is delicious too! Get there pretty early around 8:30 or 9 am or you wont get a table. If you are going with a group of 5 or more I would make reservations....They're also open until 5 am on saturdays!!!

Comedysportz is amazing!
My girlfriend and I went to see the show on a Friday and we couldn't believe how awesome it was. Normally, improv is pretty hit-or-miss, but this place has its act together; there wasn't a single moment when I wasn't laughing. I even got the chance to get on stage with the cast (Comedysportz is very big on audience participation, as I found out).
Probably the best part about the whole thing was that they kept the material clean. It's very hard to find clean entertainment that's as funny as this show; I was very pleasantly surprised! I figured the material would be extremely toned down, but the whole audience was right there with the actors every step of the way. It's not a kids show, but if I had a kid, I would definitely have taken him (or her).
My girlfriend and I are looking forward to going back to see some of the late-night series shows, which are a variety of different improvised (and comedy) shows ranging from stand-up comedy to improvised movie-making (coincidentally, this is their Wednesday night lineup). They also offer an "adult show" on Saturdays at midnight (probably not for kids) and a college night on Thursdays.
The laughs are clean, the drinks are cold (they have a fairly nice bar), and the prices are just right. Definitely a great way to spend an evening.
Pros: Funny; appropriate for all ages; great show variety; audience participation; very high energy
Cons: Parking's a little rough (TAKE THE "L" YOU CAN SEE THEM FROM THE PLATFORM); can't bring in outside beverages

I love Big Chicks. As others have mentioned here, they have a great Sunday afternoon FREE bar-b-que (rain or shine, summer or winter). The staff is always super friendly and eager to please. The girl that works weekday afternoons makes the best cosmos in the city!!! I like to go on Wednesdays or Saturday nights to play euchre with the euchre club!
Pros: Great food and mixed drinks. Great prices. Friendly. Euchre on Sat. & Wed.
Cons: Can get quite smoky

This is my favorite bar in Chicago. I love it - check out Tuesdays - incredible piano player every week. Martinis here are not cheap, but you get what you pay for so I like it. I also don't mind the coat check policy or dress code. I hate people who dress like hobos and go out to bars. Viva Redhead Piano Bar!
Pros: Great environment with lots of hotties
Cons: None

I love going to boys town and this is my fav. place to go. I can always have a good time here even if its not the weekend and not too crowded. I enjoy that the DJ is not cocky like at some places, (you know the types) when I ask for a song its not a big deal and I'm sure to hear it before I leave.
The bartenders are friendly and good at suggesting drinks that are on special and there are always plenty to try. I have never had a problem with parking or bouncers or anything. The only down side is that there is sometimes a cover charge and I'm not to sure when that is. Its been kind of luck of the draw for me at the door, not sure if they just decide who they're charging.
I LOVE the crowd. Gay or straight, male or female I like that its always a mixed very diverse crowd. When I come here I know I'm going to have a good time, maybe get a little naughty and dance my worries away.
THANK YOU BERLIN FOR BEING ABOVE THE REST
Pros: Excellant DJ, nice bartenders, cheap drinks, good crowd
Cons: cover charge some times at the door

Had a ton of fun here. From out of town and didn't realize Chicago had after hours bars. It was definitely well worth it!

So I went to Howl with a group of friends last weekend and we all had a great time! I have been there before, cause I live downtown Chicago, but I brought some Howl virgins in for a first time experience..and they too loved it. The service was good, the bartenders were friendly and on top of things, the drinks were great (I recommend getting a bucket if you're with a large group) and the piano players were awesome. Howl is by far the best piano bar I have been to!
Pros: great musicians

Some of my friends don't like coming here, but everytime I go, I always have fun. Saturdays are ALWAYS crowded, but I think the music is better on Fridays. Its usually crowded then too. I love how they always have random theme parties through the year, and you walk in, and some crazy stuff is going on. I went the other night, and they decorated the place like it was a garden, with flowers everywhere, and there was a giant HOT TUB with girls in bikinis everywhere. And when I went downstairs there were girls in cages and stuff. They said it was paradise lost, but whatever was going on, it was cool to just go somewhere and see something new. The staff here is great. At first, I thought they were really snooty, but then I started just talking to people, and they're actually cool. THIS IS A GREAT PLACE TO DANCE!!! They have two levels with different music, so you can always find something you like. I think my FAVORITE thing about this place is that its so diverse, ALL types of people go here and just have fun. There's not just plastic barbies(although they show up there too) but there's all types of races and different types of people having a good time. I love it!
Pros: Great place to dance. Lots of bars so you can get lots of drinks.
Cons: You can't come too casual or they wont let you in.

My boyfriend and I are new to the city and ate there last night and it was perfect. The place is huge but it felt private in the booths. The food was great and the service was as well. They are very polite and the pricing is very reasonable. The sangria was amazing too! I highly recommend.
Pros: valet up front, service, food, atomosphere.
Cons: valet is $12 (is that the norm? we dont know because we just moved here)
