Smart Bar
Smart Bar is a venue in Chicago that offers live music and dance events. Inside you'll find a large dance floor with powerful sound and colorful lights that add a lively feel to the space.
The venue opened in 1982 as a dance club and brought new electronic sounds to the city. Over the decades it has hosted many well-known DJs and established itself as an important spot for house music in the American dance scene.
The club takes its name from the music and dancing crowd that gathers here. Since the early 1980s, this spot has served as a home for electronic sounds and house music in the city, drawing music fans from all corners of Chicago.
The doors usually open late in the evening and stay open until the early morning hours, especially on weekends. On popular nights there may be a line at the door, so arriving early or booking ahead can help.
On the walls and in corners of the room you sometimes see bikes hanging as decoration, adding a playful touch. These small details remind guests that the spot is not only serious about music but also a bit creative in its setup.
