This is terrible! We need MORE POLICE to paotrl Lakeview and to arrest these CREEPS that have been haunting lakeview/boystown and robbing people. I used to be anti-gun, but now I am starting to change my position. I want to start being able to carry a gun, to at least have a fighting chance to PROTECT MYSELF from these awful creeps.

Thank you for posting that Caribou is tikang donations. This was in my neighborhood too, right down the street from a close friend's apartment and Saturday was definitely a scare. In any case, I've got two bags of clothes I've been meaning to donate; now I know where.

My friends and I recently went to Hydrate for a Valentine's Day party and had a blast! The cover was kind of expensive, but worth it since the party lasts until 5am. The new bartender Mike was super friendly and so HOTTTTTTTTTT! Staring at his rock solid six pack and body all night made us completely forget all about the vomit-smell throughout the entire club! . more

Friday lube wrestling is HOT. A good place for late night (last chance) hook-ups at 4am.

It's nice to see a bar with alternatives to the saaaaame ooooooooold muuuuuuuusic that eeeevery ooooooother baaaaaaar in boystown has... If you've moved on from pots-and-pans, check out Tuesdays and Sundays at Hydrate. These are the only nights I go there -- now I don't have to go way over to Wicker Park to hear good house music.

I miss Chris Eterno at Felt... I'm glad I found him at Hydrate on Wednesday. Hydrate has the best music and djs. Best dance club on Halsted!

Hydrate is such a great bar to go to. It's fun to just hang out and talk with all the bar staff. They are very personable, and really try to go out of their way to make sure that you are having a good time. I'm glad Hydrate came onto the scene, just wish I started going there sooner!

AT LAST, WE HAVE A GREAT CLUB TO GO AND HAVE FUN AT. AND THE STAFF IS GREAT. MUSIC IS OUT OF THIS WORLD. LOVE THE GIRL WHO SPINS ON SUN NIGHT(LAURA B) AND SAT NIGHT WITH ROSARIO, WHAT MORE COULD YOU ASK FOR. GREAT JOB GUYS ON THE WHOLE PROJECT. AND I KNOW BRIAN THE MGR, AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYONE WORK SO HARD AT A JOB, AND FROM WHAT I SEE, HES DOING WHAT IT TAKES TO KEEP A GREAT CLUB HOPING. more

Hot place to go! Hot boys, hot music, and the best drinks in town

This is a nice change in Lakeview. The open summer windows allow for the fun to spill onto the sidewalk. Traffic can get backed up at the bar, on weekends and the dance floor is small, but they mix very good drinks and the crowd is friendly.
