Lucky Horseshoe is the stripper bar in Chicago. It can be real hit or miss and sometime the guys look like streetboys. But I have found a few gems there. Gentry's use to be a good piano bar. They have a bar downtown and in boystown.

I'll be in Chicago the first weekend of October.

I agree with KY. The Horseshoe has been more hit than miss for the past few years. But, I have hired some nice boys from there over time. Some nights you'll find a gem in there. Other nights, you'll be inclined to cringe at the talent.

Cocktail in Boystown has go go boys most nights. It's a pretty good crowd, diverse in a lot of ways (especially age and race) and pretty much no attitude.

Minibar is nice, has a bunch of beautiful bartenders (that are pretty much all straight) and a somewhat clique-ish younger crowd. It can be fun if you're willing to invest the effort in talking to a total stranger. The bar has two rooms. Minibar which is younger and Winebar which is more mature and a little friendlier.

Sidetrack is full of a younger, prettier crowd. I've always found it to be quite friendly.

I'm not a piano bar fan. But, if I was, Gentry would be the place to land

Weeknights, be prepared for only one dancer at a time and there may only be 3 total dancers for the night. Dancers dance in rotation and change every 20 minutes. Weekend nights there was only 2 dancing at a time (separate dance areas) with at least 6 (but often more) dancing for the night in rotation.

Agree with KY and Conway - hit or miss is right...but some of the hits were well worth it. Some made it known (some in obscure language) that they would be willing to entertain privately. I didn't partake, so can not offer any recommendations.

Have met a few fellow patrons at the bar who were also in town visiting - led to some fun times. :P Hope you enjoy your visit.
