Exit

It was the best dirty dingy questionable bar you never wanted to go to but always ended up at. I miss this place. At the moment this says "temporarily Closed" but I'm pretty sure it's permanent. So many good nights with great friends. So many memories. Sure the service left something to the imagination, but it was all part of the charm. This place will always hold a place in my heart, and will forever be remembered as the place where garbage people went and did garbage things... In the best way possible. Cheers to the nights that think we're good, but will never remember.

I used to go on Sundays. How can I help EXIT open again so that my life can be less of a tragic nightmare hellscape of waking death?

Oh the Exit, this place has been going for years. Not for the faint of heart, this old school club/dive bar is still going strong after 30 years. Nothing fancy here but they do have some decent craft beers on tap. Dance the night away listening to Danzig, Nine Inch Nails, Misfits, they might throw in some old school industrial,metal, or punk rock. They have all kinds of happenings upstairs, from blacklight parties to S&M nights, a few weeks ago we checked out one of their bondage parties. I love this place and I hope it rocks on for another 30 years.

Sticky floors, expensive drinks, and loud music: the three components of any good Chicago bar. I love the dark industrial/metal music playing downstairs. Might as well play some pool while you're there.

Coolest bar i have ever been to! The vibe is great and i love the music they play and the movies they play. Staff was very interactive and super chill. Can't wait to go back!

Where else can you request "Hold Your Children Close and Pray For Oblivion" on a Sunday night and have it played Excellent ambiance

Super cool dive bar. Open late with a great atmosphere. The staff here are super nice and very tolerable of your foolishness once you start drinking. They've got some pretty tasty drinks as well. On top of all of that they also play awesome music. This is my favorite bar hands down

I was really happy to hear that they were closing. Here's hoping they never get it open again. I can confirm what some of these other one star reviews have said. A few years back I lost my phone and wallet at the downstairs bar. Instead of helping me find it, they cursed at me for asking them about it, and then kicked me out. I kid you not. I'm pretty sure one of the bartenders stole it. Not only because it was two bartenders and a security guard who kicked me out after I asked for help finding my items, but because my items MYSTERIOUSLY RESURFACED a week later after I'd called the police on them and threatened litigation. On a separate note, the cover to get upstairs was never worth it and the DJs were trash. Not only were they trash, but they'll curse you out if you request a song. Zero professionalism, crime, and dirty bathrooms. Steer clear.
