Chicago Nightlife- Guide to Weed Street District
June 05, 2007 by
The Weed Street District of Chicago is centered around, well Weed Street and is known for the large number of nightclubs packed into a two block radius. Each nightclub on Weed St. has a unique crowd and party scene, you just need to find the one that is right for you.
Crobar
1543 North Kingsbury, Chicago
Crobar is one of the largest nightclubs in Chicago and the two story dance palace is quickly filled every weekend. Each night at Crobar sees a different crowd but the party moves to house and techno beats. Recently Crobar has added a Latin night on Wednesdays, but there is much to improve before it becomes a crowd pleaser.
Sangria
901 West Weed Street, Chicago
Sangria is the Latin hotspot of the Weed Street District, and most of Chicago for that matter. On Friday and Saturday nights the popular restaurant hosts a DJ and opens its doors to the young and beautiful of Chicago looking for a good time. Latin beats play loud and strong all night, going from salsa and bachata to reggaeton and the top forty. There is a strong single presence, especially on Friday nights when ladies are free and men are ushered in off the street to buy all of them drinks. To read a complete review of the nightclub see my article, Sangria Late Nights.
Republic
1520 North Fremont, Chicago
Republic is the newest addition to Weed Street, taking over the site of several lackluster nightclubs. From all appearances it seems that Republic is here to stay, the scene is as strong as more established clubs in Chicago. Dance, people watch, or lounge; you can do it all at Republic. The huge club has two large dance floors, the back dance floor is more space friendly. Check the website for live acts and events, otherwise expect to hear anything from trance to hip hop.
Zentra
923 West Weed Street, Chicago

While there are many piano bars throughout the Chicago area, there are three that make it to the top of my list: The Redhead Piano Bar, Grape Street and Vine piano bar, and Howl at the Moon piano bar.
