What's a good hip-hop bar/club in Chicago?

Question

Would prefer places with a mixed crowd.

Answer 1

The Funky Buddah at Halsted and Grand (http://www.funkybuddha.com/). they have a poetry slam on Monday nights

Rednofive, just down the street from the Funky Buddah, is ok, but a bit pricey , depending on when you go(http://metromix.chicagotribune.com/barsandclubs/38187,0,2597922.venue)

The Smart Bar, in the basement of the Metro (http://metromix.chicagotribune.com/barsandclubs/28433,0,1942555.venue) has been around for a zillion years. They don't open until late in the evening though

Subterranean(http://metromix.chicagotribune.com/barsandclubs/26364,0,1680412.venue) in Wicker Park has a lot of hip hop DJs during the week and on weekend.

There are a lot of other bars and clubs that feature hip hop on specific nights of the week. Pick up a Chicago Reader newspaper and run through the listings.

Answer 2

Studio 63 at 63rd and Harlem. It has all types of people and music. Wednesday night is Latin nite. Friday is $1 drinks, Saturdays is $3 martini night. I recommend the apple one it's delicious. They have a huge dance floor, plenty of servers ready to bring you the next drink. And a good DJ.

Answer 3

All of the answer you have recieved are great spots. I myself like the Twisted Spoke. Circus is a great place. You can pick up the Reader it is a local paper and has all of the places to see and check out. Very informative and has a very wide spectrum of places.
