Boystown is a little farther south. Once Chicago's lesbians warm up to you, you may never want to leave.
Good restaurants abound, but three are worth a detour for lesbian travelers.
Friendly atmosphere, great bar, and reasonable prices make this place a down-home destination. Both serve eclectic contemporary cuisine. High-energy dancing downstairs and the best pool playing in the city upstairs, plus no unaccompanied men allowed past the door, make this place unbeatable. 4 a.m. Chicago is second only to New York in innovative theater companies. Shows sell out regularly, so arrive early.
