Dancing Until
Dawn At Berlin, purple madness and fun is on tap at the monthly "Prince Nite" on Sunday, April 27. Earlier in the weekend at this Chicago institution, DJ Greg Haus spins the "Cosmix" party every Friday night. Another late night dance floor in Boystown is Charlie's, which features the hi-nrg beats of DJ Lulu, who takes over the weekend booth after the country, 2-step, and line dancing ends. In the heart of Boystown, Hydrate packs features DJ Jeanette for the monthly "Lube Wrestling" on Friday, May 2 and again for her weekly resident turn on Sunday, May 4. DJ Greg Drescher, fresh from his Winter Party appearance, spins every Thursday night while DJ Laura B takes over the booth on Mondays. Up on the northside, Jackhammer has been become a popular after-hours destination featuring DJ Oskar on Wednesdays and Thursdays while go-go boys shake and bake on Fridays and Saturdays. If It's Monday,
It Must Be House And to make sure you have plenty of motivation and nourishment for a full Monday night, be sure to start your evening at Morgan's (1325 S. Halsted) for their "Service Industry Networking Night." This new party features very attractive drink specials, half-price pizza, and the music of DJ KT. Towel Service:
More & Less Strippers in thongs are aplenty at @mosphere, especially on Friday and Saturday nights with DJs Eric Hall and Timmy Loop, respectively. Meanwhile down in Boystown at Lucky Horseshoe, strippers perform seven days a week strutting their stuff on the bars. Lots of visible male flesh is a five nights a week occurrence at Cocktail with the Spank Go-Go Boys. House music is the soundtrack for the dancers featuring Pete Augusta (Sundays), Michael Serafini (Tuesdays), Timmy Loop (Thursdays) and Freddie Bain (Fridays). It's a bit more amateurish but just as fun every Friday night as Spin hosts a "Shower Contest" for those willing to strip down and get wet while DJ Chris Eterno supplies the sexy beats. And don't forget about the Roscoe's "Wet Boxer Contest" on Thursday, April 24. The Epi-center Next door, the video bar Sidetrack packs them in nightly with a potent combination of slushy drinks and a wide variety of handsome men. Popular nights include "Showtunes" on Mondays, "Comedy" on Thursdays, and "Energy Videos" on Fridays and Saturdays. Be sure to save the date of Wednesday, May 7, as Sidetrack is hosting an "Un-Stuffy Wine Tasting" to benefit Equality Illinois, 6-9pm.

And then on Fridays and Saturdays out in the southwest suburbs there's yet another "Boom Boom Room" (not affiliated with those previously mentioned) @ La Quinta de los Reyes (6739 W. Ogden Ave. in Berwyn). The lovers of leather hang out nightly at the Chicago Eagle and Cell Block while on the far north side Touché hosts a "Hardcore Leather Night" on Tuesdays. Touché will host a "M.A.F.I.A. Club Night" on Friday, May 2 and then a "Bear Night" on Saturday, May 3.
