Other areas in Chicago

Compare these parts of the city before choosing a base or planning an outing. They may be spread out, so check each area’s travel details.

• Northalsted →

  Northalsted, still called Boystown, is the walkable first evening in this census. Choose Chicago and the City of Chicago treat it as the country’s first officially designated gay neighborhood (1997). The rainbow pylons and Legacy Walk run along Halsted. Pride Fest, the Pride Parade, and Market Days use this district. North Halsted is the street crawl inside it, not a second city.

• North Halsted Street →

  North Halsted between Belmont and Grace is the first street crawl after you arrive. Sidetrack is at 3349. Roscoe’s is at 3356. Progress is at 3359. Splash, Scarlet, Hydrate, Kit Kat, Cell Block, The North End, Lucky Horseshoe, Steamworks, El Bar, Big Gay Sal’s, Center on Halsted, and the Legacy Walk pylons sit on the same corridor. Treat it as one outing, not a second neighborhood.

• Broadway / Lakeview East →

  Broadway is the second street in Lakeview East, a short walk east of Halsted. The Closet is at 3325 N Broadway. Unabridged Bookstore is at 3251. Charlie’s Chicago is at 3726, where Broadway meets the north end of the district. Choose Chicago names The Closet with Roscoe’s and Hydrate. It is a second street, not a second city.

• Andersonville →

  Andersonville is a separate outing north of Northalsted, not a walk from Halsted. Choose Chicago names Clark Street shopping and Nobody’s Darling. Meeting House, SoFo Tap, and Atmosphere sit on Clark. Marty’s is around the corner on Winnemac. Women & Children First is the daytime bookstore. Nobody’s Darling is three blocks west at Balmoral and Ravenswood, still Andersonville.

• Uptown →

  Uptown is a separate night from Northalsted. Choose Chicago names Big Chicks on Sheridan. Chicago Eagle’s official about page places the 2026 leather bar at 4713 N Broadway, in the former Baton Show Lounge room. Those are two doors, not a street strip. Baton is not a second public listing at that number.
