Northalsted — Boystown to anyone who has been here longer than a weekend — remains one of the great gay strips of North America, and Chicago's event calendar runs deep beyond it: Andersonville's laid-back bars, South Side parties, drag brunches that blur into drag nights. This page shows what is confirmed for tonight, live from our calendar every twenty minutes, plus which bars are open right now. Chicago closes later than most US cities — 4am licenses exist and are used — so the second half of this list is not decorative.
