Things to do in Chicago, Illinois (IL): The Best Nightlife

August 11, 2021 Harland Bartelt

The windy city is a cornucopia of modern art, fine dining, cutting edge comedy, and die-hard sports fans. Snap a photo of your reflection in the silver Cloud Gate sculpture at Millennium Park before heading to Grant Park to get hit with the refreshing spray of Buckingham Fountain. There are dozens of museums and theater companies in Chicago, so a cultural experience is never hard to find. You’re sure to laugh your head off at the Second City Theater, the professional launch pad of many famous comedians.

There was one line to purchase tickets and one line to enter, took us a bit to figure that out. Two drink minimum. We had a blast! Went for the 10pm show, the comedians were hilarious, especially Calvin Evans, even the emcee (Carla, maybe) was amazing.Seriously, good comedy. We look forward to going again.

As a native Chicagoan and creative entrepreneur I offer travelers a variety of excursions throughout the most striking and photogenic parts of the city. I am a photographer and videographer and offer tours 1) to learn about photography and 2) to capture you as the star in your own adventure in Chicago, whichever you prefer. I speak Spanish and Italian fluently and enjoy sharing in other languages.
