Liz ErdMarch 29, 2011really swanky looking victorian inspired lounge inside the hotel sax (formerly the house of blues hotel)...good vibe, good music. very cool private sections, get the glass room next to the dj booth...
Time Out ChicagoOctober 31, 2011From electro DJs such as Justin Dahl and funkateers like Sadie Woods—plus live jazz in the evenings—the high-end spot is covering all the bases. Read more

Lydia BerkennouJanuary 30, 2015Best cocktails in town. Friendly atmosphere and the barman is lovely.
Thompson HotelsNovember 17, 2011There's always a party at this classy club. Make sure you get to one of its theme nights, Wednesdays through Sundays.
Shannon JeropkeJuly 24, 2012Get here early while they are still serving food and they won't be carding at the door. Around 10p though it becomes more of a club and they card HARD! Beware if you have a fake!
Graham MurrayJuly 28, 2011Drinks are expensive but, from this bartender, surprisingly strong, as a bar owner, if you want more people in the place, offer cheaper drinks, they're called rail for a reason!
Hotel TonightApril 5, 2011If you’re in the mood for a nondescript dive bar, keep moving. With rich woods and ornate light fixtures, Crimson has atmosphere to spare.
- Graham MurrayJuly 28, 2011The DJ really sucks here, all the music is extremely depressing. I'm pretty up to date on music and I recognize none of the mixes, play some PARTY ROCK!!!
Karla FiffickNovember 25, 2012I like whomever made the decision to give away blowpops in the womens lounge, classy!@@
Tima Fei DoliniakFebruary 10, 2012Looking forward to this Saturday "LOVE SOMEBODY" event. awesome giveaways!!!
All Need LoveFebruary 10, 2011Don't miss the Crimson Lounge this Valentine's Day for the All Need Love Festival after-party! Read more
Try some specialty cocktails from the super awesome bartending staff
- Graham MurrayJuly 28, 2011Also, sell the crap decor on eBay and invest in comfortable booths and more tv's!
Check out Friday night with DJ Mike Valentine (say his name at the door for free entry)
Kelsey LynnJanuary 8, 2012Rip off- check ur tab every time. Overcharged the bartenders pretend like they don't know the prices and menu is wrong.
