About
Chicago Magic Lounge is best suited for anyone who loves live entertainment with a side of swanky secrecy. This venue is part speakeasy, part magic theater, offering an intimate night of close-up and stage illusions in Uptown. It's a mixed crowd space, popular for date nights and group outings. The Yelp rating sits at 4.6 out of 5 from 455 reviews, with categories including magicians, cocktail bars, and tapas/small plates.
The space feels luxe without being stuffy. Hours run from 5pm to 11pm most weeknights, but on Fridays and Saturdays it stays open until 2am, perfect for a late night of drinks and slight of hand. Regulars know to arrive early for a seat and a craft cocktail. If you're also checking out the city's arts scene, the Museum Of Contemporary Art Chicago (MCA Chicago) is another great stop.
