Bars in Chicago
Title. Here for the summer so was curious as to what bars/areas in the city have more of a young ppl vibe– "intern bars," if you will. Appreciate any insight!

Pretty much anything in Lincoln Park or Wrigleyville.

Wrigleyville is fun your first few times for sure, but then would switch it up
Excluding game days of course
Rooftop of old crow can be a blast. Just try to get there a few hrs before the Cubs game ends
Ceres
Old Crow, Halligan’s, Texan Taco Bar, Federales
bump
Wells st has a bunch of good bars in old town (fireplace, the vig, LG, pour house, etc)
Basically Wrigleyville or Feds
Celeste has a nice bar/club feel, Boss Bar is a casual favorite, blind barber is a fun but packed speakeasy, lazy bird has a great cocktail menu but is often packed too, federales is good for groups, sluggers has a batting cage (careful lol)

Halligans is a classic intern/college bar
Cindy's is a cool rooftop with bean views
Are there any bars where they’re not strict?
celeste is a vibe
Ah man I absolutely hate Celeste but to each their own, if you like house music this is your spot though
point and feather
Any suggestions for a neighborhood dive bar in/near the west loop?
I would also appreciate any reccomendations for bars with live music.
How divey are we talking? Richard’s let’s you smoke inside still…
