My group and I spent 1,200 on a table just to get kicked out of the bar for one of our members being "too drunk" while only having 2-3 drinks. I have lived in Chicago for 17 years and this is the WORST bar I have ever been too! Our group member who was "too drunk" began crying because of how rude the bouncer was. I will never go to this bar again and I advise anyone I care about to do the same. read more

If you're a BLACK FEMALE, YOU ARE NOT WELCOME HERE. This place is to only serve girls who aren't black. My reasons for saying this is because upon entering I saw plenty African-American males but me and my girls were the only black females there. Shocker right... We were told at the door we must pay 5$ to hang up our jackets. after doing that with no problem, we walked into the main scene where we found plenty of white and light skinned girls with their jackets in their hands, who we asked, and told us they weren't told anything about jackets or a fee. STRIKE 1 ! We were literally the ONLY A BLACK girls all night which clearly said something. It was a mistake and will never happen again. After a few minutes of trying to enjoy the music we kept getting moved from our spots by bouncers and security. We could be standing in a spot and someone would walk up to us and say "you guys need to move you can't stand here" LIKE WHAT???? That happened a total of about 3 times. STRIKE 2! Last but not the least, some guys invited me and my girls to their section. We weren't denying that offer bc it felt like the only time we were welcomed. We had a pretty good 45 minutes in their section until the guyS started pressing for me and my girls to dance on them and give them our number. When we refused, they told the bouncers/ security to KICK US OUT. NOT OF THE SECTION, but OF THE CLUB. And with no questions asked, the BLACK MALE SECURITY came up to us and said " Y'all need to leave. " when we asked why we were being kicked out, he responded " I don't know I was just told to kick y'all out " CAN YOU FUCKING IMAGINE?!? To top it all off , they added "please just leave y'all don't need to make a scene" IN FRONT OF EVERYONE!!!! Not only were we kicked out, they embarrassed us in the process, when we DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG. If I can give this place -5 stars... I WOULD OVER AND OVER AGAIN! read more

Absolutely disgusted at this place. Group of friends and I came by and waited in line outside and a large white male bouncer almost immediately let in two girls from my group of 6 of us. So now we are separated and he precedes to tell us that it will be a 15-20 minute wait before he will let anyone else in because the place is full. Mind you there's a few groups of men that have been waiting to get in longer than my group. As we are waiting (and freezing outside) a new group of girls come by outside the line and ask when they can get in. The bouncer almost immediately lets their whole party of girls in so one of my friends then stepped forward to ask why they are getting in before us. The bouncer told my friend to step back and said now she's can't come in the club! Absolutely made no sense. Never been so blatantly discriminated like this. read more

Was there last night. This place only charges cover after it starts to get packed. Food I ok for a bar at 2 am Would I go back? No! read more

Don't go there the bartenter didn't serve me and when she did, she didn't give me my change and got me kicked out to keep the $10 and I never drank the beer and if it wasn't for the money the people that were sitting for a party I can hear them talking shit about us place is whack as hell and security was bad and management is to I wouldn't promote for the nor would I go back to party at. Won't go back. read more

This place is not for the weak. I went the other night and there security is awful. It's all about power, I was kicked out with no explanation, was thrown over security's shoulder and told that the " owners " of the property did not want me there. Having never met any of the owners I find that hard to believe. I hadn't even had one drink, so u can imagine my humiliation and frustration. The security that had no explanation for me, names are VICK GOMEZ and Roderick Smith..(if that is there real names) ... this place picks and chooses who they want in the property. I'm not sure if they didn't like how I looked or what it was but it was so unfair and really disheartening. I've been in the industry for quite a long time and have never experienced anything so disrespectful. I wasn't even in the club for 15 minutes b4 they did this. I'm a very vocal person when it comes to being treated fairly, and this place is not about that at all. Will definitely not be back read more

The bars vibe was pretty bad. We came as part of a bar crawl but they barely paid attention to us. This bar was really struggling to attract customers. Good bar if you want to be bored read more

Small place. The "juice boxes" are a cute idea, but that's all it was JUICE. Not really any liquor in them. Vibe was strange. First floor is more of a bar/lounge. Music was eclectic...from Springsteen the Biggie Smalls...kinda weird. Upstairs was better but sooo tiny there wasn't much room to move around. The security guards are interesting...it's almost like you have to get searched to go up stairs to the club. Cool concept, but prob won't be back, there are WAY better places in Chi...skip it!! read more

Coming to this club was a mistake. Staff was rude and unwilling to create a fun environment for us even though we rented out the venue. They forced me and my friends to check out coats/sweaters and pay 5$ for them because it didn't fit their image. The boys that came with us were not required to check their coats and wore their blazers etc. It was completely sexist and none of us were informed about a dress code before hand. Then in the bathroom they made us pay for PAPER TOWELS TO DRY OUR HANDS?!?! What's next toilet paper? This Venue completely took advantage of its customers and created such a hostile environment. Not to mention they kicked us out 15 minutes before our rental time was over and we're literally screaming at us to leave and pushing people. Wouldn't let us wait inside to call an Uber either. I would actually never recommend this place or come back. read more

Venue is very small. Concert was sold out so it was packed. I couldn't really enjoy myself because security/servers kept having to get through. Wouldn't come back. read more

Charging coat fee to get upstairs??? I completely understand if it's a big coast like Canada goose but a leather jacket? Lol yeah don't bother y'all read more

If you want an honest, in-depth review.. get ready: This place literally just steals money. Friends bought a table through a promoter, but when I got there they made me pay a $20 cover. Then when we were at the table, the promoter told all the guys (only 3 of us) that guys need to pay an extra $40 to stay at the table. We didn't have cash, then he finally said, "fine... $30." Went to the ATM downstairs and then it was "broken", so we had to go to an ATM outside, and they tried to charge us another $20, even though we had stamps from their establishment. The promoter's instagram is @weheartleon (his company is Royale Society), and the dude is just trying to look like a playboy for Instagram. Then as the bottles came to our table, it was "for sharing" amongst other tables... and these tables weren't blocked off, so random people that weren't apart of a table would come up and pour themselves a drink... can someone explain these logistics? Later in the night, it was literally only women. I'm a straight dude, but a 9 to 1 ratio favoriting women is a weird vibe. Apparently the promoters invite women for free and don't have to pay for anything, but what ever men are there get hassled for money. Terrible experience, terrible place, and horrendous promoters. This place is heading in the direction of Shay Nightclub (which shutdown). (Oh and at the end of the night, the promoter tried to hug my girlfriend - even after the hassle we experienced in the beginning). read more

Zero stars... Went to this club, and try to buy a drink and they confiscated my card, they kick it out over discrimination, it was a brand-new car we were trying to pay for the drink and they kicked us out .... Do not recommend read more

Worst "club" in Chicago. Do not waste your money going here. We had a table. Some friends got there first and it was for a birthday. The actual birthday guy got there and they told him table was at capacity even though he was the one paying for the table. They told him he'd have to sit and wait 40+ minutes to go upstairs to his table. The 5 of us downstairs waiting decided to leave and dispute the charge on the card. This "club" is TRASH. read more

Very rude staff. They think too highly of themselves. Why? Upon entering, place was practically empty. They had upstairs sectioned off which looks really dumb btw and guy refused to let me in unless I checked my coat. However they let other people up with coats. When I inquired, guy said you don't have a table so you have to check it. What?! Okay yeah whatever dude. I ended up leaving. read more

7/5/2019 The LiqrBox should change its name to the Funkbox--based on terrible bouncers at the door. i was told i could not enter the Establishment because I had on short blue jean shorts and sandals but the bouncer then granted entry to a caucasian with a sport bar top on--shame on you "Funkbox" for terrible door staff --i felt like i was on the Game on Thrones--when he the bouncer yelled at me and said he was done with me--when i demanded to have a valid reason for being denied entry--my reply was ----no LIQRBOX ive been done with you--Funkbox--signed too much Natural Mellon in my skin read more

Kick out my party (that had a reservation) bc they double booked. They accused members of the party of breaking things (which didn't happen) and kicked everyone out to make room for the second party they'd booked that night. Also the music wasn't good read more

Interesting vibes here- we only experienced the members only room, which was cool to get to through the kitchen. But I'd like to try out all the different levels and liquor liqrbox has to offer! Good potential at this unique bar. read more

The music and vibe in this place is great. Security staff is very friendly. Even as they kicked out some drunk guests they did it cleanly And respectfully. BUT.....there is this Clown who is the gatekeeper to go to then 2nd floor part. His name is Andrew. This Guy is so ridiculous. The second floor was at capacity so it took time to go upstairs. Understandable. Andrew went out of his way to argue with every patron who asked if they could go upstairs. Instead of saying "not yet" or any other appropriate response instead he chose to antagonize and insult people. At one point security had to restrain him. ‍. His quote he kept saying over and over "let me do my job". Whoever owns this great establishment get rid of this guy. read more

Terrible service, miserable staff. Worst bar in River North/Gold coast area. Walked in with 3 women, bar was legit dead and was forced to pay a $20 cover charge when I come here often and live legit behind the bar. Bar smelled like throw up and bartenders took 20 mins to grab us our order when they were just standing around doing nothing. Like I said horrible service and miserable staff. read more

I'm not sure what everyone else's reviews are in regards to, but in my experience this is such a great place to be! The first floor is like the bar/food area (the chicken tenders are very good thank me later) and the second floor is more of the clubby area. I had a great night dancing and having fun! Everyone there seemed to be doing the same as well. The bouncers were nice as well. read more

HORRIBLE SERVICE !!!! The bouncer mad us wait even though we're with a table and we watched 2 groups of kids that looked under ages get in before us. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE SERVICE !!!!!! read more

Sam is absolutely the best bartender in Chicago, place is amazing. Def coming back fo sho

Trash institution even by the manager. Industry person. Would not let us upstairs even though I was with several parties and bottle service. It's like being at liv in Miami but in subpar conditions. Drinks trash. Management trash. Door people trash. Not for people of color. read more

My coat was taken by the staff from our table just right now. They were quick to dismiss me and refused to help even when I offered to tip them generously. This is why people pay top dollar for tables at better establishments. read more

Hanging with bartender Same tonight. Very friendly! tangy sweet margaritas right up my alley!

One of my favorite nightlife destinations in Chicago. Always great music, fun atmosphere and you never know who's going to stop by. Saw Sheck Wes once and Flo Rida too! Best part is that the kitchen is open late and the food is better than other late night food spots in the area so I often get food before heading home! read more

They say it's reservation only.... but if you barely have anything on you get in without a reservation! Definitely not culture friendly.

This place honestly rips everyone off that goes there. I was promised no line and free cover, I was greeted by a line, a cover, someone who attempted to assault me, and a very rude staff. On top of that, drinks were $10 a piece for well level alcohol. Will never return. read more

The bouncers were cold and rude. $20 cover and $4 *forced* coat check in cash. Forced a girl to check her "coat" that was really a small light jacket and part of her outfit. The poor girl was freezing in a tube top. Yelled at patrons who laid to rest on the side of the wall or bar. read more

They have the best chicken fingers and fries!! Hands down the best I have ever had in a Chicago... so don't sleep. Also, they play hip hop and r&b downstairs read more

I can't explain to you how great their happy hour is!!! If you haven't been, take the time to stop by! 7 days a week from 5-7 you get great drinks, bomb food, and a bartender that remembers your name! read more

Meh. The little "juice boxes" are good but the staff ruin this place. Rude and just over all blah people. Felt like or group wasn't really wanted. The feel is an overall "stuck up" kind of place and I'll never go back. There are way better places with better vibes, better drinks and overall better service. VIP is $1500 minimum. Bye Felicia, this aint Vegas and isn't even good enough to hold themselves to that standard. read more

Went here late on a Wednesday night. The place was dead but it was a cool spot. All three of our phones were dead, so after standing outside for 10 minutes trying to get a cab, we went back inside to ask the bouncer if he could call one for us. He walked away and came back to say that he can't get us one and that they "don't do that". Since that's not something they can do for their drinking customers, I will not be returning. read more

Literally stood in line for 40 minutes as so many non minorities came inside in front of our group. I asked the bouncer what the criteria was to get into the club and he said that as people leave, people come in. However, over 15 people came out of the club and he said that only TWO of the people in our group could enter at a time. It's ridiculous that in 2018, minorities still have to deal with this type of intolerance... particularly when 2/3 bouncers are minorities. With 15+ people in our party, the incremental dollar spend would have been worth their while. Oh well. My funds will not be spent at a racially discriminatory establishment like LqrBox. #NoThanks #ShameOnYouFabian read more

LiqrBox - Dance Clubs Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The place is shady. I didn't get let in because I had shorts on, but the two male security guards didn't mind letting in a whole group of girls without carding them. Then they told me that if I wanted in to pay them $20 each. I'm not blowing $40 just to get into a bar. I had a friend inside and she had on booty shorts yet I couldn't get in. I sort of get there being a dress code but it should not just apply to men. Not only that, but the area around this place is sketchy. While I was charging my phone at a gas station nearby, I noticed that at a certain time they just start kicking people out randomly to make room for newcomers. They basically pulled a United Airlines and just started forcing people out because they overbooked. I'm glad I didn't get in, it looked like a shit show inside anyways. read more

It was a cool spot, BUT...I went to go upstairs after being downstairs for about 30 mins getting drinks and shots and they said it was bottle service only upstairs. At the door we were told we could go upstairs. When we tried to go upstairs it was all of a sudden bottle service only. I was just confused about that and that needs to be stated on the website or somewhere before entering...The downstairs bartenders were courteous. Food was bland... read more

Had a great experience bringing my 2017 Lamborghini Aventador SV, valet was super corteous and the bouncers gave me the vip treatment for no additional cost. read more

Bottom floor is a normal size bar. The drinks are phenomenal and come In little juice boxes! $10 for normal size and one drink of $15 that's bigger! Upstairs is where the party is at. Highly suggest! Brandon has done a great job! read more

Came here for NYE and was able to get in with no wait. Cover was $40 for men. They have 3 levels and if I understood the staff correctly, the top level is a VIP/membership only section for $120/mo...I hope to learn about all the additional benefits of this. I just moved into an apt very close to here so I'm hoping this can become my go-to spot. Only downside (for me at least) is that they do not carry Grey Goose. When I go out I typically only drink grey goose...looks like I'll have to try and become besities with Belvie ‍ read more
