About this place Club Escape
Club Escape is a gay bar and dance club in South Shore, well away from the North Side bars most visitors know. It draws a mostly local, largely Black LGBTQ crowd, and regulars tend to know each other. DJs play hip hop, R&B and house, and Thursday has been billed as ladies' night.
The listed hours are Thursday and Friday 10pm to 2am, Saturday 9pm to 3am, and a Sunday session from 3pm to 8pm. It's closed Monday to Wednesday. The address is 1530 East 75th Street, and the Metra Electric line and CTA buses both run nearby. Check the club's website or social pages before going, since South Side venues change their nights fairly often.

This place was fun! As an out of town first time visitor, on a rainy night I had an absolute ball! The bar staff were really friendly as well as the front door bouncer! This place was nothing like the horrible experience I had the night before at "SideTrack" in downtown Chicago. The lil short black man who appeared to be the owner or manager was fine! I should have spoken to him, but he was busy. He needs to find me...ijs...🤣 Overall, the joint was cool, and the Anita Baker impersonator for the drag show was PHENOMENAL! This made my 1st Chicago visit all worth it...I had a blast!
