Gentry is the moniker for a pair of strategically located, gay-oriented nightclubs.
One is mere blocks west of the Magnificent Mile, the other is at the southernmost end of the celebrated Boystown strip. Gentry on State is nondescript from the outside, with a dark awning and windows. The main bar area features a long rectangular bar in the middle of the room underneath an ornate chandelier. The rest of the main floor is a labyrinth of smaller rooms, including a large piano bar with candlelit cocktail tables everywhere. The walls are done up in wood paneling and are decorated with abstract nudes, both painted and photographed.
