9 Clubby Restaurants In Chicago

"What To Expect: Sometimes it’s critical to sip flower-topped fruity cocktails and listen to a fantastic mashup of Mariah Carey and national treasure T-Pain. And you can do that at this small West Loop spot that’s more of a lounge and music venue, along with watching live performances, singing karaoke, or dancing during their all-day Sunday party brunch. What’s Up With The Food: The surprisingly long Caribbean menu includes lots of fish and shrimp options, wings, and a solid jerk salmon wrap. Just be aware the tables are small and you may end up eating with a plate in your lap. Verdict: Tribe is lower-key (at least before it turns into a club at 10pm) than some of the other places on this guide. But it’s lively enough for groups who want their go-to Thursday night Happy Hour meet-up to feature a live DJ." - veda kilaru, adrian kane
