On weekends, the front bar is packed with gay, young urban professionals checking out the club scene. In back, the dance floor is equally crowded. During the summer months, the patio offers a place to escape the noise. The granddaddy of Chicago's gay bars, Roscoe's has been around for years and is one of the most popular stops on the Halsted strip. Admission is charged on Saturdays, after 10p. It’s free on other days.

NOT what it was...
Used to be a great, no-judgment spot; since the damn dance floor (put in a LONG time ago), all you get are ****y lil' queens desperately trying to outdo one another. Dull, boring, pedantic, and crude. And, for a traveler, the WORST place to experience Chicago.
Would you recommend this to a friend?
