  • Review this attraction
  • 1. Circuit/Rehab

    At Circuit, men often dance shirtless to grinding house music. In contrast, the Rehab lounge bar is a sophisticated chill-out spot.

  • 2. The Closet

    This dance club attracts a mostly lesbian crowd, but gay men and straight couples also groove to R&B, rap, dance, and diva videos.

  • 3. Roscoe’s Tavern

    A young, preppy set packs this neighborhood bar for its antique décor, cozy fireplace, poppy dance tunes, pool table, and, in summer, backyard beer garden.

  • 4. Sidetrack

    Find some of the best cruising at this vast, four-room bar with more than two dozen video monitors that highlight a different theme (like show tunes or 1980s music) every night.

  • 5. Spin

    One of Boys Town’s most diverse clubs: gay, lesbian, bi, and straight crowds mingle at this dance club and lounge.

  • 6. Kit Kat Lounge & Supper Club

    Martinis come in 52 flavors at this swanky spot, where female impersonators divert attention from significant others with their lip-synching talent.

  • 7. Berlin

    For 20 years, this edgy club has attracted every type from straight girls to drag queens. After midnight, the dance floor hits its peak, rocking with a stellar sound system and light show.

  • 8. Cocktail

    This laid-back club is ideal for sipping must-try martinis, while Boys Town people-watching through wall-to-wall windows.

  • 9. Gentry on Haslted

    Piano players and singers perform nightly for appreciative and participative audiences at this cabaret club.

  • 10. Bucks Saloon

    A friendly, local bar (for boys and girls) where deer, elk, moose, and buck heads adorn the walls. The outdoor beer garden is wild in summer.
