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Yup updated the best Chicago list on tik tok haven’t made the new yt vid yet this is outdated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

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.

[@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.
