Hydrate, Chicago

There's a shimmering color palette of neon lights and a pulsing soundtrack of Top 40, EDM, and House music that goes late into the night every night at Hydrate Nightclub Chicago. Hydrate Nightclub is home to Chicago's premiere Drag Show and Male Revue. At this gay and queer nightclub—which unveiled a new look in February 2014 after a major renovation—bartenders pour champagne, spirits, and cocktails late into the night and during a range of weekly events. Resident DJs drop beats during these regular gatherings, which include the go-go-dancer-driven parties of Sunday Fundays. A bi-monthly stand-up comedy show spotlights Chicago comedians, and the club's twice-weekly drag shows feature a rotating cast of performers in fabulous costumes.
