About this place Progress Bar

Progress Bar is a gay bar in Chicago's Boystown, at Roscoe and Halsted, where you can reliably find a crowd ready to dance and drink. It’s in the thick of things in Boystown, one of the country's oldest LGBTQ+ neighborhoods. That means it's easy to pop in and out of, or to use as a launchpad for a longer night, with other bars and restaurants just steps away. Don't expect anything groundbreaking here, just a solid gay bar experience: drinks, dancing, and a friendly vibe. It’s a good spot to meet people or just unwind. Check their website for specific hours or any themed nights they might have going on. It’s a straightforward, unpretentious place to grab a drink in one of the city's most walkable LGBTQ+ areas.

I waited for a while and decided to leave. A customer and a security guard refused to let me leave. Were they trying to force people to spend money?
