About the venue
Hydrate is a gay dance club in Northalsted (Boystown), on the corner of Halsted and Cornelia. It is a place for dancing, with DJs and a proper sound system rather than a quiet bar. It traditionally has no cover before midnight, and the crowd builds from then on…
“Really fantastic dance floor! Went for Club Flamingo and wow. Great sound, great lights, and a really smooth clean dance floor. Actually good dancing possible. Met the owner by accident and he was delightful!” — Venn, Google
“First impressions matter. First time in Boystown, barhopped all night and this place stood out the most and was the most enjoyable. High energy, didn’t feel “cliquey,” actual shows and entertainment going on. Good/strong drinks. Will be my go-to when I’m in town.” — Alexander B, Google
