About

Walk into Club Escape and the energy hits you first: DJs spinning hip hop, R&B, and house, a crowd that spans 20s to 40s, and a friendly staff keeping the drinks flowing with sexy specials. This South Side spot leans into its dance-and-drag tagline with weekly shows that mix live drag with the dance floor vibe.

It's open late Thursday through Saturday only, so plan your visit after 10pm (or 9pm on Saturdays). The mixed LGBTQ+ crowd keeps things lively, and karaoke nights add another layer of fun when they're scheduled.

Located on Chicago's South Side, it's a local favorite away from the Northalsted corridor.
