Cocktails were ok. Service is alright. Chips and Guacamole not so good. Garden patio is cute.

The Covid precautions here are amazing. Contactless temp taken at the door, well spaced tables outside, plastic between indoor tables facing a wall open to outside, paper towels at the door of the bathroom to use for opening the door, and they even ask for contact info for contact tracing if you agree. Plus Blaise could not be a more thoughtful or accommodating server. He put my bags inside, he got me an indoor table when temps dropped, and brought my stuff over later. I felt safe and welcomed. Also the crispy chicken and bacon wrap was delicious, as were those flavorful crispy fries.

We ate outside so we didn’t get to see the whole joint. We had a great time, and I loved the poutine (I don’t remember if they called it that on the menu. Either way, I was loving it). Nice beer selection and social distancing. Our server guy was very welcoming, knowledgeable, patient and friendly.

We went in around 10 PM knowing they were closing at 11, hoping to get a few drinks. We were seated right away, but it took 15 min for someone to take our drink order. Then another 15 to get the drinks. Our server never came back to check on us and they were doing table service due to the pandemic. We had to flag him down to get our check. The servers/bartenders didnt seem overly busy so there really wasnt an excuse. The bar could have easily gotten 3 rounds of drinks from us in that time if the server had been attentive, but instead they only got one.

I had the grilled chicken sandwich with sliced avocados. Loved it. The fries were perfect

Visited this bar last weekend. Very Nice! Spacious & plenty of seating, great music, excellent customer service, delicious & reasonably priced drinks. No complaints here.

I’ve been coming here for 20years. And still my go to for a great time!!

A nice place to hangout with friends. You will find nice people here. The drinks are good and price is reasonable. The staff at the club is cooperative. The night shows by various artists will make your night beautiful.

Had a great time only stopped for a couple of brews with the bf and enjoyed the Mac bites.

Haven’t been here in years! The food was delicious and fast, great selection of drinks And super friendly staff can’t wait to come back again soon

Top name entertainment, a great group of spaces,and food !

Always a fun mens night out

While you dont have alot of space to dance or time since most places close early but the staff is always nice so it makes up for it. Havent tried the food yet but mayb next time

Great food great service. I recommend the chicken Caesar wrap

This place was awesome. Music is the bomb. And with everything thatbis going on they were doing great on cleaning the whole place every 15 minutes wiping everything down. Great job!

Always great service and a great show ..Good Vibes and Great Atmosphere

The service boys and food was good lol

Feedback, the guy at the booth wasn’t a very good salesmen’s, if fact lost sale. We didn’t want a table but he automatically asked told they aren’t seating people at 5 pm and not how he could help us. I just wanted some cheese sticks and of possible maybe a curb side drink to go. It was 4 of us that just wanted you to buy something even if it was to go, but we never got there.

I’ve gone there twice so far. Once was a Wednesday for Black Girl Magic! It was amazing. The girls are friendly and the music was on point. They were even nice about letting us stay to the very last minute possible. I also went on a regular Friday night. The music was not as great....too much techno....and many of the drinks were pure sugar. The margarita and fries, however, were delicious! I would recommend Wednesday events, but for weekends I must try again. NOTE don’t park on Halsted after midnight because it’s a tow zone.

Went to watch Rupauls Drag Race for the night and wound up having the best night I had in a long time.Monique Heart and Mercedes were there to chat during commercials and had a Q&A after. It was so fun and love being able to go somewhere I feel welcome.The bartenders are super nice and they have $3 draught nights so its hard to have a bad night there.Will be coming back many times in hopes to see more of my favorite Queens from drag race.

Great food and cocktails, wonderful servers, laid-back atmosphere

Friendly staff and great cocktails. Jell-O shots are fun and tasty! Food menu looks good, have to go back and try some.

I love Roscoes!! The atmosphere and service is amazing!!!

Always great music, good drinks, and guaranteed you’ll have a great time. Staff is friendly even on the really busy nights. The DJ is always great and whenever i have friends who have never been to boystown, i always bring them to Roscoe’s first!

A classic establishment. A dance floor and also more quiet bar space to talk. Really friendly staff and great drink specials. Attracts diverse, mostly LGBT persons. Music is pretty standard top 40 remixes. Raising cover prices on weekend worry me.

Prices are reasonable

Came in here because I’d read great things about it. Was with my friend, who is a woman, and we came in and stood at the bar for 15 minutes and were never acknowledged. Several other people came in after us and were served. We finally grew tired of waiting and left. I’m hoping this was a mistake and that we were not blatantly being ignored.

Not worth all the money or hype. The cover charge at the door is too high for what they offer. The drinks are watered down and the music isnt good. Bare minimum for good bar music is to at least play Billboard top 40 of the year. But all they play is the same techno music. Please go elsewhere youll have a better time!

First visited Roscoes on a Sunday afternoon in March of 2000. Last visited on a Sunday evening in Sept of 2019 - great venue, always good times.

I love this place and the people who works there. The bartenders the cooks the hostess. This is a really awesome place u wont be disappointed. Lots of fun laugh and excitement.

I dint know what happened i walked in packed wall to wall i look to my friend and say do they keep playing brittney over and over well yeah the bartender says this is the brittney bar bitc* lol. Fun times dance club small bathrooms for such a busy place but who needs a bathroom while you dance?

Roscoes does it better. If you are in chicago this is one place you need to visit

Great place but cover fee can be on the pricier side . They okay mostly too hit mixes and edm . Would love to see more laying music atleast every now and then .

Fun environment, usually good music and fun shows. Have some of Rupauls drag queens that come through too.

I love this bar and have a great time whenever I go. The jello shots are great and it is always very lively. The only thing I do not like about it is the cover charge. When I am out I feel like I buy enough drinks to make my presence worth not having a cover personally.

Usually a great time. Tyrone always takes AMAZING care of you and is a gorgeous human being. Trex is Chicago’s best host. Roscoes is a Chicago landmark.

Its such a nice ambience! I love this place!

Amazing place to hang with friends good music amazing drinks friendly people recommend to everyone.In the summer you have to try the food is amazing wish they bring back the salmon salad it was so good. You have to check it out. Would not be disappointed. My favorite place in the summer.

Nice club/bar with amazing drinks!!!! Great drag queen shows. Awesome music videos. Definitely a great place to hang or dance

Great friendly service

Great food and service

Come here for all RPDR viewings! Amazing performances and a great atmosphere!

I got there ready to have a good time and ordered 2 drinks. I left the tip line blank and gave the receipt back to bartender. Insults ensued immediately. “ After wasting my time and only ordering 1 drink you’re not even gonna tip? This is why we don’t let your kind in. Find another waiter!” All this was said and then he attempted to throw my copy of the receipt at me. Needless to say I was speechless at that point.Adding no tip was an oversight and I won’t make the mistake in boys town again but man o man was he rude! Waking up this morning the rudeness of his actions has me restless. I have never been treated so poorly in my 26 years living in Chicago and that’s saying something!

A good bar with amazing music. I loved the speedy service and being able to get down on the dance floor!

Roscoes is a staple in the Chicago LGBTQ community. I always have a great time no matter what day of the week. They always have a calendar with cool upcoming events. And where else can you find a pitcher of Long Island for $12???

Great atmosphere, love this place. Drinks not so good, very watered down or just not enough liquor. But wont stop me from going.

It’s a nice gay club and bar. The cover was $5 but they charged my credit card $6. The show stage was a bit small and hard to stand and watch. I wish it was larger with a second floor for people to stand and watch. Enjoyed Nina West and Silky Nutmeg’s drag show. The wait was long between the two acts though!

Great place for drinks

The bartender was cool and for the most part the patrons were all right.I went with my girlfriend for a drink and we got a lot of stares. We were one of only two couples there.we even try to make friends with the other couple but apparently they got freaked out since they were from Indianapolis or something and left in a hurry.I would probably go back if I was desperate for a drink, but not so otherwise. The bartender Nathan was really friendly and thats probably the only reason I would go back with my girl.

Over price place. charging $25 to get in. Plus the drinks. Nop, we when to sidetrack it’s better. We were in a long line to go in, just for them to let us know that the entrance was $25. It was not a great experience.

Gotta love the Events that get booked here consistently

I always enjoy Roscoe’s, especially around Market Days! Thanks for always making my experience an awesome one!

I have an awesome time when ever I come. The music is great, the drinks are well made. The lights are always on point. You could never have a bad time.

The fine young men here are immaculate

Best uptown bar in boys town. It gets crowded but you will definetly have the blast of your life. Filled with awesome happy people.

My expectations for this place was not too high since its a well-known touristy restaurant. But it blew mine and my friends taste buds away!I made a reservation on a Monday night at 7:30 pm for a table next to the window. I absolutely loved my visit.

Love this place. Its like a mullet - Business in front, party in the back. Cheap pitchers of who knows what, great music, dancing, and welcoming to EVERYONE!

Great brunch

This was my first gay bar ... ever circa 19-something-something and it had been a couple decades since my last visit. Nice changes include losing the cafe and opening the floor plan and making it totally wheelchair accessible. what hasnt changed is the pretentious crowd.

Went for the first time. Larger venue than it appeared to be. It had a nice vibe, music was a little dated, but played alot of the stuff I enjoy anyway. Went for funday sunday(was packed btw)later in the afternoon, had some great drink specials, especially if you go with a group. Had a small outdoor area which made for a nice change of scenery. Staff was fairly pleasant some more than others, but thats with anywhere I guess. Overall not too bad.

Great place! Divided into multiple areas with bars spread throughout. Indoor and outdoor space and a dance floor!

Great dance club that has been on the gay strip for over 30 years. Very fun eclectic crowd.

Friendly place with the BEST wait staff! Reasonable prices and great food.

Very poor service, weak drinks, rude to customers. If you are visiting don’t bother. Waste of time and money

Good music, good vibes (mostly lol)

Ricardo is the best!

The bar is awesome and they have a great choice of drag queens performing here. They do play too much top 40 on the dance floor but the vibe of the place is still good.

Avoid this place after pride at all costs. It almost always gets shut down but that doesnt stop them from taking a $20 cover from you and then fail to tell you that once you leave you can no longer enter until after the fact. Cover charges on normal weekends are inconsistent. There are a hundred bars in boystown. Go somewhere else. The music sucks anyway.

If youre ready to do karaoke tonight or just want to have fun nice place to go to 2 dance floors

All the bartenders know there stuff here. Gotta say: Ron really knows his stuff. This place is a LOT better than it was a year ago. Good job management and staff.

Basically a staple of Boystown and you cant visit this neighborhood without coming here. Music is always amazing and youre guaranteed to have an amazing time!!! Bring your friends!

This used to be like a second home but the greed has really taken over. $20 cover on a Saturday night is absolutely ridiculous. Especially when you have sidetrack across the street that never charges cover and is a much bigger and better bar. I’d rather not pay an arm and a leg just to get swept up in the second bar fight of the night.

Honestly one of the best boystown bars. It sucks that they charge cover every Friday and Saturday but the dance floor, the drinks, and the people are great! Fun place to go out and worth it.

Everytime I come here, I have an amazing time! Great music and people!

1st time there since the renovations, nice and roomy good selection of beer

Good burger, friendly staff. Nice outdoor seating area.

Horrible coat check experience. I recommend holding on to it. First, you have to wait in line for a long time to check it. They couldnt find it when I came back to get it. They told me I had to wait. The big manager, who has no management skills, made me wait for ever and was condescending at the same time. He thought I was going to steal coats. Eventually we found someone who cares and after 45 minutes, I got it.

They can do better with the coat checking. It took 10 min to check in and 40min to check out. Drinks are okay. Dance floor is nice. Dj is great.

Good bar for dancing and celebrating boystown history, but surprise covers can rain on a parade. Always latest tunes for twerking, if thats your mood. Turn up here!

Great bartenders and fun music!!

The newly remodeled Roscoes is much more spacious and comfortable. In my opinion the bar now is more welcoming!

Great if you want to dance

Great food, awesome atmosphere.

Tyrone is an awesome bartender and bouncer. So friendly and warm! Thank you!

Always a great time here! Love the free burgers they have sometimes. And popcorn

What ana awesome bar! Super friendly and the drinks were strong and affordable! Ive heard so much good about this bar and its all true!

Roscoes is a good gay bar. Scenery is nice, people are lively and vibrant, and bartenders are generally nice. Security can be hit or miss. Dance floor is nice. For some odd reason theres always a weird smell by the bathrooms. Overall classic gay bar in Chicago.

Great place to dance!! First stop in boystown for a birthday party, didnt want to leave. We will definitely be coming back

Diverse people. Crowded but staff is attentive and pleasant. Jello shots are worth it.

Roscoes was the first dance club ive ever attended. The bartender was extremely sweet and the bouncer Tyrone was the sweetest person! I appriciate him looking out for me! Thank yall for having a safe and amazing atmosphere for people to branch out and have fun!

Great dance floor, but it can get SUPER packed. It can take a while to get in and to get a drink. Music was great and the atmosphere was awesome. They also have nice and clean bathrooms! A rare find for a bar.

Great bar with great bar tenders

My girlfriend and I went to pride at the end of June. My girlfriend had two drinks and within 30 minutes to a hour she was blackout/getting sick on the side walk. Someone spiked her drink and she was obviously drugged. We are lucky we were together because she was a mess. Its sad to think that someone would actually do this on such a day since it is about equality and loving one another. Avoid the back by the dance floor. This is where it occurred. This is not the first time I have heard this happening at this club. If you want to go dancing, I would recommend drinking somewhere before heading there. I would not drink at this venue. Also sad that my girlfriend and I actually enjoyed this place but we will not be coming back. If I was the owners or managers of this bar, I would take this inquiring very seriously because the best marketing is word of mouth. You can grantee everyone who I speak to will be hearing about our awful experience here.

A fun LGBTQ bar with great special events and Drag Shows in the heart of Boystown

I love this place

Liked the bar and music, food was good as well

Probably the most famous gay bar in Chicago. Friday and Saturdays are packed. Thursdays are ehhh but Scarlet is usually the most packed club on that day. $10 cover, they accept card and cash. However if you pay with card there is a small fee. There is a coat check near the restrooms. They renovated not too long ago so a nice little upgrade is nice. The back part of the place is for dancing while upfront is more of a social get a drink kind of scene. Definitely check it out if visiting boystown!

My first time to Boystown would have been anticlimactic if it wasnt for Roscoe’s. Their service from beginning to end made me think it was a Chicago standard. Afterward went to almost every bar that night and by the time we made it back home we wished we would have just stayed there. We will definitely be coming back soon.

Clean, with multiple areas to relax in the cool evening air or the electric atmosphere inside.

Great DJ when we went and a really fun crowd! Its a larger bar and dance floor area, so theres more room to move around, though it does get packed during peak times.
