SUND If a Chicago restaurateur's plans work out, the city could soon be place to the country's first airport homosexual bar. The Chicago Department of Aviation, which operates O'Hare International Airport, is looking for vendors to fill open concession spaces in the terminal. Among the recent bidders is Germán González, a managing partner of Somos Hospitality Collective (Tzuco, Ummo), who wants to unlock a satellite of Sidetrack – arguably the Windy City's most popular queer bar – at O'Hare. The Chicago Tribune was the first to report on González's bid, and it said it would likely grab months before the airport operator decided who should stuff the space. Still, the owners of Sidetrack's main location in Boystown/Northalsted, Chicago's historic LGBTQ+ neighborhood, told the paper it would be a huge deal if their bar gets a location at Second Story Bar, East Ohio Street, Chicago, IL, USA As the name suggests, Second Story Bar is hidden away above a restaurant in the River North area of Chicago. This bar is dark and divey with an old school charm that has remained untouched by the upscale modernity of the street below. Inside a sketchy looking unmarked entrance, you'll discover a perfectly friendly bar serving cheap drinks to a soundtrack of camp dance classics. This is a true hidden gem and a unique venue among its modern neighbours.

And each comes with their own one-of-a-kind history and vibe. Check out some of the optimal gay bars and clubs to experience Chicago’s gender non-conforming nightlife scene. One of the city’s oldest same-sex attracted bars, Jeffery Pub is a neighborhood institution. The South Shore staple is also one of Chicago’s first black-owned gay bars, making it all the more meaningful for the spot’s many regulars. Don’t miss the live amusement, like karaoke nights, Silky Soul Sundays, and a lively dance floor featuring everything from pop to house music. This lively and colorful spot is part LGBTQ hangout, part art gallery. The walls are plastered with the owner’s personal collection of paintings and photos, including big names like Diane Arbus.
