About this place Bobby Loves

Bobby Loves is a small gay bar on North Halsted Street in Chicago, where people go for intimacy and real connection, not spectacle.

This little place has a good name among people who live here and visitors who like a no-frills approach to going out. Its best asset is the bartenders. They're friendly, they know their way around a shaker, and they make drinks that hit.

The mood here is more relaxed, more for talking, than in some of Chicago's bigger spots. You'll usually find a slightly older, calmer crowd that’s there to hang out with friends, not to club. Karaoke is on the schedule a lot, for anyone who wants to sing without a lot of fuss. It's a small place, so it fills up with regulars and people who know about it. That makes it feel like a real neighborhood bar, not one for tourists.

North Halsted has a lot of places to eat and drink nearby. Bobby Loves is a good place to start, or to meet up, before you go out into the rest of the LGBTQ+ scene. If you want to catch up with friends, get a good cocktail, or do some karaoke, this little neighborhood spot is small, sweet, and genuinely welcoming.

I would greatly appreciate your help, understanding, and kindness 🙏🏻 I sincerely ask for your help in locating her. She passed by today between 6 and 7 pm.

A bartender told a guy he is “so autistic he needs to never come back” after the bartender was refusing to give back another person THEIR OWN PHONE (theft?). Super disappointed and super disgusted. NEVER come here !

Karaoke night on the weekends was great. Very crowded though. They check for IDs at the door, so be prepared.
