More places to Party!

I have called many places home in my life, places such as:

Helena, Montana
Missoula, Montana
Chicago, Illinois
New York City, New York
Baton Rouge, Louisiana
New Orleans, Louisiana
Phoenix, Arizona
Las Vegas, Nevada

However, of all the places I have lived the place that feels the most like home to me is Chicago.
There are soooo many places in the windy city that add value to the world of nightlife that I am not sure where to begin...given careful consideration I am going to start with the one and only Crobar!

As a member of the Crobar family I have memories of this club that date back...well let's just say...I am old! The people, the staff, the owners, the DJ's, the culture, the lights, the party...it was a very special time in nightclub history to be part of!

To talk about Crobar is a favorite subject of mine...not only did I work there for 5 years, but it just happens to be one of the greatest nightclubs ever opened! I am not biased at all. To give you the full history of Crobar would take too much time, but there are few things that people that go there for the first time should know about this club that has been in business for 18 years. The originators of Crobar are Kenny and Cal, I omit their last names because that is a long standing joke in the club industry in Chicago, if you knew their last names you could get in VIP. At any rate, this club opened as Crobar (was and still is located at 1543 N. Kingsbury) but the club never had the name on the outside of the building, just some Asian Symbols! Crobar is an old warehouse space with few windows and a huge dancefloor. When you walk in the front doors you are quite literally IN the party, there is no mistaking the energy of this club the minute you walk in the door. Psycho Bitch and Teri Bristol were resident DJ's every Saturday night for years! The high octane house music that comes from the DJ booth at Crobar is the stuff as a customer you will remember for years to come! Crobar got a face lift several years ago to make it slightly more cosmetically appealing to compete with the ultra lounges and "pretty" nightclubs popping up all over the country...but make no mistake...it continues to be one of the best places to party not just in Chicago, but anywhere! This club is a perfect 10!

Stay tuned for more picks...
