User Reviews for Y

Okay.... there's no line to get in because the place is LAME. All attitude with NO cool to back it up. Overcharging the men to get in ($20) and hardly anyone was inside. How boring was it? I'm writing this from Lakeview at 11:30 on Friday night having already left there. Don't waste your time or money on this place; all snob and no cool. No service and bad drinks. I could get drunk faster taking a dose of NyQuil for a head cold. If this place were the example of nightlife in Chicago, I'd move to the middle of nowhere for more entertainment and excitement. A one-star rating is too high.

Pros: No line

Cons: everything else

3 Star Rating: Average

A few girlfriends and I went to Y Bar on a Friday night and was quite disappointed. The door men charged all of us ladies $20 to get in and there was no line outside! It never got packed all night and not a fun crowd.

Pros: No line outside

Cons: Not a fun crowd

...are what decribes this place. Nice atmosphere and people to match. If you're looking for a club thats more upscale than your typical sweatbox, this is definetly the place to come Mixed crowd and good music

This bar is a bunch of yuppies that don't know what to do whith thier money. The bouncers coulnd't protect a dead lobster, and the booze is watered down! Th service is the absolute worst towards any sort of groups. Stay as far away as you can!

This Place is like hanging out in my dad's basement. It was small, the door staff was a jerk. The music ok but that was all that was good. there was only about 40 people in the whole place.

Cons: Bad service, Small, Empty

Editor's Review

Sleek River North lounge with velvet-rope exclusivity attracts an opulent crowd.  See the full editorial review.

Insider Tips

Save Money

There's no cover when a party reserves a table in advance, but you must order from the bottle-service menu, one bottle required for every four people.
