Concensus for a long time has been that Chances is not the place to go anymore. The staff is horrible and rude and many (not all) of the people that go there are trash. My group of friends went there for years supporting this bar and now the punks that work the door or bartend have made us so mad we have left to go elsewhere when we hadn't planned on leaving... the last time we walked away from the door person because she was extremely rude.. this was a large group of people celebrating a birthday party and the place was empty... (i.e. there's always one person that still wants to go there on their b-day... not any more). You also have to worry about your car getting broken into in the area or dealing with some scammer that the allow in the place....and it doesn't feel safe. And when I say scammer, i mean regular male scammers that mess with you.
Live music and the action is over at The Usual Pub on Allen St...They just won Best Lesbian Bar in Outsmart Magazine... Forget Chances.
