Goodbye 2008... Hello 2009! It's time to start the year off with crazy fun and lots and lots of alcohol! Forget Times Square and all of those people. Chicago is the place to bring in the New Year! (I'm not just saying that because I live here.) Chicago has hope for 2009 and we WANT to celebrate... with sweet music, dancing, and booz! Check out what's goin' on...

Make Your Friends Go Out!

Every year I go to a friend’s New Years party, which always ends up being a drunken mess and includes: people splayed out on couches, floors, and on each other.

The Dandy Warhols

The Dandy Warhols. can be compared to that of psychedelic pop from the 1960’s. Their sound reminds me of the group OK Go and The Shins, but with a little more flava.

They make me want to dance around with flowers and give the lead singer, Courtney Taylor-Taylor, a fat kiss.

Double Door Nightclub

1572 N Milwaukee Ave, Chicago, IL 60622

It’s always a good time at the Double Door. It’s right under the Damen L tracks so you won’t have to walk that far when you stumble out on January 1st.

Head here for cheap drinks, live bands, and a good time!

Swirl Wine Bar

111 W Hubbard St, Chicago, IL 60654

Live jazz is performed every night and on New Years Eve a wine/dinner package is offered. Very swank and hip Swirl is and I love it!

Make sure that you bring a hot date here and make him pay. It’s pretty expensive! WHATEVER! It’s New Years, who cares?!

There is always a piano man playin’ the hits here. Requests are taken and dancing is required.

Oh, always a good idea to bring a date. Yeah, it’s the place to get hit on! Unless of course you are on the prowl.

 

Chicago Night Life

This year, I’m going out to paint the town! Here are some hilarious, and exciting events happening in Chicago to bring in the New Year of 2009!

GO Experience Leslie Hall and Her Gem Sweater

Leslie’s. first Television appearance. I think she is a very talented woman. In fact, I think she could be the next famous R&B rapper, and more popular than Brittany Spears ever was.

Listen to hits such as:
This Is How We Go Out
Real Gold And Glamourous
Zombie Killer

Metro

3730 N Clark St, Chicago, IL 60613

The Dandy Warhols will be playing here on New Years eve! Looking for a good show and something different? Check ‘em out. Plus, they’re really cute.

Check It Out At The Hideout

On New Years Eve, The Hideout. is throwing a New Years party and calling it names such as: Gutter Butter and Walk This Way. The night will include fab DJ’s and live music.

I’m there… of course I might end my night here. The hideout is the place to be. NOTICE: It is nowhere on the map to be found. You gotta go to their website to find out where the heck is the hideout.

Green Dolphin Street

2200 N Ashland Ave, Chicago, IL 60614

No one sits down here at the Green Dolphin. You come here to dance! Live jazz and Latin music are played here, and of course accompanied by live dancing!

Sounds like New Years will be a blast here!

Club Foot

1824 W Augusta Blvd, Chicago, IL 60622

Want a more laid back evening, but still want to go out? Club Foot rocks my world. It appears to be a dive bar on the outside, but on the inside… well, it could still be a dive bar. Tons of eye candy though, hanging on the walls and makes for good conversation.

Bring a group of friends here and play your favorite songs on the jute box. I promise, it’s fun! I take my friends here and never leave until 4am. Yup, they’re open that late!

Don’t judge it from the outside, and if you have a club foot, you MIGHT get a free drink! Just be sure you tell them your situation.

Don't Forget To Dress Up!

Superb guide, slut. I saw the Dandies a few months ago at the Vic. They put on a good show. Hideout = awesome (always) Club Foot? Never heard of it, but sounds like my kind of place. If I wasn’t in CA right now, I’d be club footing it for new years…

Coffee Slut Rss 

Boyztown, Chicago
I am not loyal to any one place that serves up coffee. I like to hop around from place to place until I have found the perfect cup of coffee, or at least until my heart gives out. I love to poke fun at people, places, and circumstance. You can be a Coffee Slut too. Let's chat over a cup...
