Jake Smith

I know that sometimes you feel "at home" at a bar , but this place is literally a converted apartment . Order a whiskey and coke (a specialty here) and boogie down all night long. GREAT MUSIC .

Chicagoist

This Bucktown bar boasts one of the most raging dance floors in Chicago with DJs spinning a high-energy mix of music guaranteed to get the hips of even the most staid people moving. Read more

Philip Chang

If not for the Schlitz sign , Danny's would be hiding in plain sight, although it's the PBR that's only $2. DJs here spin the kind of garage sale records which prove everything has limits. Even Shazam.

Kent Bowery

Vinyl nights spinning soul, r&b, samba , cumbia - soooo good. Packed but worth it. Grab a beer and hit the dance floor

Dave Johnson

Go next door (west) on the weekends if there is a line . Chances are Jimmy, Ryan, Dave, and Angel are around drinkin' and playing videogames .. Or just straight up partying! Don't be afraid to knock!

AskMen

Sheer Magic has been luring long lines to Danny’s every first Wednesday of the month for the past nine years, making it the undisputed champ of Chicago’s vinyl-only dance parties .

Diego Rufo

Cheap , well-made cocktails , a cool staff , and great music (especially soul night on the first Wednesday of the month). They only take cash and there's not a TV in the joint. Read more

Go there on the first Wednesday night of every month. It's called "Soul Night " and it's something pretty special.

Gregory Gora

When the dance floor in the middle gets crowded , it's hard to walk from the front of the house to the back.

One of my favorite dive bars for all the usual reasons (cheap drinks, good service, etc), but it's an especially nice respite from the $$$ places in Wicker. - Joseph B.
