    This place is closed and may have never existed. Which makes me sad. The phone number is no…read morelonger in service.and if you happen to drive down 33 you'll be hit with the sneaking suspicion that you are not going to the right place. Corn field on both sides of you, maybe a horse and buggy in front of you, the occasional religious semi-inspirational, "God Bless You." I drove back and forth and the only thing that looks like it might possibly fit the description of this place is a corn silo, everything else is housing and barns. I thought maybe I had completely misunderstood the directions. Once I got back from my drive through the country I checked the location on Google, try it. Do you notice it places the restaurant in Michigan? I'd really like a Gay bar/Lounge/Mexican Restaurant near my house, but this rainbow doesn't seem to actually touchdown anywhere.

    Do you remember singing, "We Are Family" as a child, thinking it was about happy moms and dads and…read morebabies? Do you remember learning "family" had a different meaning? The kind of meaning when ladies kiss ladies? Well, that lesson will help when visiting Julia's. This place is a mix between Mexican restaurant, gay bar and outdoor lounge. Karaoke on Friday nights is simple but sufficient (Morrissey, The Cure, Depeche Mode and lots of Top 40 stuff), and the host really can sing quite nicely. Drinks are cheap and potent, with a list of special shots on the wall. Beers were just over $2, and shots ran about $3.50 apiece. I wasn't hungry enough to try Julia's wet burritos, but I'm told they're phenomenal.

    Dick's R U Crazy is the lone successor to a Calumet region Gay scene that once boasted five (5)…read moreflourishing and active Gay bars of which one was exclusively for Lesbians. Unfortunately, Calumet City succumbed to a sad combination of white flight and city officials Hell bent on destroying the State and Stateline entertainment corridor, leveling solid historic properties into a barren surface level wasteland, that remains void to this very day. We were once guided by the bright neon signs and chasing lights, like a mini-Las Vegas strip it was. God forbid someone was drinking, carrying on, staying out until past 4 a.m. and having a Gay ole time. So here we are at Dick's R U Crazy, this lone Gay venue has been established in 1990 and serves as a beacon of life for area Gays. It offers a traditional Gay bar feel from back in the day with two (2) chalk dusty pool tables and an eclectic variety of your usual patrons. A corridor leads past the restrooms on the right that opens up into a lounge area with intimately lit tables, a stage and runway avec drag drapes. However, classic Drag shows and those once crowned as bar royalty, drag queens, have been replaced in a new world favoring karaoke. Ugh! You cannot miss what you do not know. In my opinion, today's bar music or what I heard at Dick's was a bore. It's choppy and doesn't flow one song to the next. Who wants to hear and see Seth Meyers bash Trump on Big TV screens on a Friday night in your bar? A total waste of fun time! There must be something far more entertaining and uplighting to fill in the background with to get people up and dancing. Dancing!!? What the F..k is that? One might ask! Dick's R U Crazy is a Gay oasis in a desolate desert environment that doesn't offer many better options short of going into Boystown/Chicago . Hopefully one day the Calumet Region Gay scene will rebound. Dick's R U Crazy is a continuing work in progress.

    So this 5 star has a few asterisks. Appearance wise when you walk in, it looks like more of a…read moresports bar than a dive bar. We stopped for drinks bc of the dive bar-type reviews. A minute in, we realized they allow smoking which we weren't use to since we are from New York. (In that category, I'd give a 3 star) We sat a a high top and were quickly and friendly greeted. The crowd was getting busy just before 5 pm on a Wednesday. The array of local characters was amazing, all friendly but all walks of life. The prize of the day was that we ordered a round of beers for 5 of us. I ordered a PBR as they had a huge PBR inflatable can outside and I love me a cold Pabst. The server asked "can or draft?" Great to have a choice so I picked draft. It was happy hour so that was $1! Not a typo! We had dinner plans elsewhere so had to run after 1 round. I closed out our tab for $6.50. Tipped $9 because my mind was blown by prices. There is outside seating if you want to avoid the smoke. There was a 1970s vintage "smoke eater" hanging from the ceiling that by my best guess, hasn't been run since the Berlin Wall came down. Definitely a dive bar. This place is a must visit if in the area. Great people and great vibe. Cold and cheap beer and ample parking. I need to go back on a Friday night. Sorry no photos this time around.
