"The future of Spybar, a longtime River North late-night haunt, is in question after the nightclub abruptly closed on February 23. Management also rescheduled a few events to other venues while speculation has built over the status of the bar’s liquor license. A report in Crime in Wrigleyville and Boystown claimed Spybar was operating without a state liquor license." - Ashok Selvam

We had so much fun! The mixed beverages at the front bar were not the best, but having access to high noon and rebull was redemption! We loved the music, the sound system was good quality, the staff were attentive, I've never been in a club that kept the floor SO CLEAN!! fantastic, will definitely be back!

My favorite club in the city. Also great bartenders and they don't over fill it like other venues do. Typical club prices on drinks. Recently upgraded their sound as well.

Stayed for two hours music was good but didn't feel all that inviting felt like a spot more for locals (or people who know them) than for people just visiting. Drinks were a bit pricey, atm was down the night we went so we couldn't take advantage of the cheaper shots. Willing to give it another shot just not a good first impression though.

Easy entry. No line. $4 for coat check. Restrooms were very clean with an attendant. Bartenders super quick and efficient. Drinks are at least 30% cheaper then any other night club around especially soundbar that is across the street. Not too spacious but it never got overly crowded. Nice thing is they have seating outside of the vip area that is for everyone so you could rest your feet or back at anytime. They also have a merchandise booth. And security does their job at keeping everyone safe. One complaint would be the sound system. The bass was not adjusted so it was not really pleasant. Thankfully they fixed it a bit but it was still problematic.

Its ok here, but dishonest/misleading bartenders ruin the vibe. I ordered 2 cocktails and paid by card. The bartender said $32 so I gave a $7 cash tip. When I got my card and receipt back it said $38 because of an automatic gratuity, and I was unable to get my cash tip back. I have no problem with paying an automatic gratuity, in fact my cash tip was more than 20%, but to tell me the total is $32 and then hand me a bill for a higher amount after receiving my cash tip is a little scummy.

Staff is undertrained and just not up to standard that you would expect at a club in a major city like Chicago - staff is very rude and doesn’t care about their customers. Much better places to visit if you’re coming to Chicago. Soundbar across the street is always better, for example.
