I feel old. I used to go to Pryzm when it was called Crobar, and Tao when it was called Excalibur. Party on, kids!

your only as old as you feel they say

Yep. Same here! And I don't feel old just seasoned. LOL

[@MrnokturnalNyc]

Seasoned lol good word choice

[@jus3278]

Celeste is not the only dopest club in Chicago, it is quite possibly the greatest ambiance and club experience that I've had in my life. Such an amazing place.

[@MrnokturnalNyc]

Yup updated the best Chicago list on tik tok haven’t made the new yt vid yet this is outdated

[@radiantbladez]

Solid review. I'm from Chicago and these recommendations are spot on. For Prysm, it's always good to check to see who's performing. That will heavily dictate the crowd and vibes.

[@zachvernon3809]

Yo, so all these almost play hip hop other than electric hotel? Or what kinda music they play

[@radiantbladez]

​@@zachvernon3809 for the most part yeah. Prysm has a smaller side room where it'll be 99% hip hop. Some nights might have an EDM DJ in the main area. Check ahead before you go. Same thing with Tao. They always have different performers.

[@MrnokturnalNyc]

This is based on my preference of music as well they do have other edm clubs if that’s what your looking for

[@zachvernon3809]

@@MrnokturnalNyc I mean honestly I’m from Florida so hip hop is all we had there, that’s why I asked because that’s my scene more than anything lol

[@humbertocellig]

Hey bro! great video thanks for sharing. What club you recommend for house music? what day house music and techno is play in Tao? cheers

[@mrman3523]

I’ve noticed all of these are in the river north area. Thats the area for most nightlife in chicago?

Hi, I’m about to celebrate my 21st and I’m looking for some of the top hiphop clubs in Chicago,which ones would you recommend?

[@jonrichardson6420]

I plan on coming up this weekend for my birthday with my girl and my bday falls on Friday and we both very big on the hip hop scene and both have not been to a really night club.. so was wondering if u think TAO would be the best fit for us or what else would u recommend.? Plz get back to me as soon as u can thank you your video was super helpful.

[@MrnokturnalNyc]

I wouldn’t recommend tao this Friday if you like hip hop they have an edm guy that night. I would suggest Liqrbox or bounce

[@marcosherrera3160]

Hope you reply to this comment, but I’m planning to go up to the city for my birthday on the 26th and I was wondering where you would suggest for me and my party of 10 ( all males) with something along the house/hip hop scene?

[@MrnokturnalNyc]

I would suggest Tao or Tunnel 10 men at Tao would be a table most likely though

[@Kreolevybz]

After living out of state back & fourth the past few years, Chicago nightlife is prob the most disappointing for black people. Black clubs don’t really exist in nice parts of the city. It’s very white centered. Just corny hiphop nights that play old hiphop, pop and techno…You won’t have fun if you use to upscale BLACK places in cities like Dallas, Houston, Atl, DC, Charlotte and Raleigh. They should try Afro beats spots for a black experience, but here even that has sprinkles in it 😩 planning my exit again lol.

[@MrnokturnalNyc]

Dc was super mid for me, no quality control what so ever, Dallas i liked more than atl and houston by far. But I also don’t care for hookah and strip club vibes so that’s prolly why. I noticed in Chicago weekday parties were more for the culture than weekend parties the big commercial clubs your spot on though. Charlotte and Raleigh I haven’t heard much about aside from how cheap tables are so may have to pass through as I keep doing this

[@Kreolevybz]

Yea the experience will be different depending on if you going for strip club, hookah, hiphop nights or reggae/afrobeats. I stopped going to strip clubs & hiphop stuff now I only go to reggae/afrobeats events so I’m judging based off that.

[@MrnokturnalNyc]

Afrobeats I swear is the hardest type of vibe to find in cities you actually gotta be like plugged in, from my own experience

[@Kreolevybz]

I liked the afrobeats scene in dc, Raleigh and Charlotte so far. I’m not sure how it is for men, but it’s easy for women to have fun since African men naturally try to impress women with a good time. As a man though, I could imagine them coming off as very inclusive, and you mostly end up feeling like an outsider.

[@gmackhere4fun]

You hit it right on the head. not to mention the discrimination black men recieve trying to get in a club... Thats why you see mostly white and others in it.... dont wastes your time.

[@llmarokamill7337]

FACTS !

[@andresgutz11]

How were you able to get into Tao ? Did you pay a cover fee or did you have to make a table reservation, because I am not trying to break the bank. lol

[@MrnokturnalNyc]

Honestly it depends, going with women and going through a promoter is the cheapest way. I got in without a huge cover but I kinda been around enough doorman to know how to act (like you belong without being obnoxious" showing up early usually makes it cheaper as well. Also dress the part, like your a guy who belongs in the club style wise doesn't have to be designer just well put together.

[@MrnokturnalNyc]

Tao cover depends on doorman so I can’t really tell you may be a 100 bar tab may be more you may be free just depends on how he’s feeling snd who your with

[@MrnokturnalNyc]

Everything is going to need tickets since it’s nye. After 12 the prices drop significantly my best bet would be try bars and show up early probably will be free if they don’t offer open bar
