North End
If you're gay and looking for a place to join others for a beer and to watch the Bulls, Bears, Cubs or White Sox, there's no better place in Chicago than North End. And watching televised sports isn't all there is to do here -- there's also four pool tables. The place reverts to more of a traditional gay bar late at night and on weekends, when the games are over. Karoake starts at 10 p.m. on Wednesdays.
