Time Out ChicagoOctober 31, 2011This basement club in the River North gallery district has had the deep, underground techno sound on lock for some time now. It still has the illicit feel of an after-hours spot for big-name DJs. Read more
Bringing some quality artists and rarely too crowded, Spy Bar continues to be a welcomed alternative to the less than awesome neighbor across the street.

This club is known for the underground feel - Big Sound, Global Vibe.
- Best sound! Best place to experience house music in Chicago. After all, it was born in this city!

Jon EphremJune 20, 2013For a straight bar the ratio of guys and girls was WAY OFF talk about a sausage fest and the girls that were there, do they even have mirrors?! Busted! Good music though except at the end, too ghetto.

Joseph B.April 28, 2015A total waste of money, especially for guys. $20 at the door, just to get downstairs and see that the place is empty. No refunds.
Dani K.March 19, 2011creepy dudes that can't dance and a bathroom attendant that begs for tips. music was alright and barteders were the nicest.
Gladys WrightMay 26, 2014Over priced. Experience wasn't worth the money. And they and they had me wait in line 45 minutes until I actually paid when it could have been free.
Peter DucklerFebruary 4, 2010I want to check out SpyBar on February 12. The Guerilla Gay Bar event at this notoriously straight hot spot will be very interesting. Read more
