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 moreUpvote1Downvote

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.Upvote1Downvote
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!UpvoteDownvote
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!UpvoteDownvote
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.Upvote2Downvote
My Social OneSeptember 26, 2011Beautiful Establishment- amazing drink menu. Try the absinthe!Upvote1Downvote- 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!!!UpvoteDownvote
