Thanks Loosewin, I'll look into those places. I'm coming to coach. Client is a college-age guy. Will definitely be going out Thursday night, maybe Wednesday night. I know Lincoln Park is a shit-show with college age people so that may be good for him on the weekend. Michigan Ave is one of the best day game places in the world IMO (literally)... Any other pointers are appreciated.

1. If you only had 1 weekend to game in Chicago (2 nights first time there), what places would you absolutely hit (day & night venues) that yield best probability for ONS?

2. Which would you skip?

3. Where would you set-up your fuckpad for optimal logistics?

4. Is renting a car an absolute must-have?



Mixx

1) Michigan Avenue is the must hit day game spot. River North and/or Old Town venues are the spots for night game that you can't miss. If class is in session, get to the bars by DePaul in Lincoln Park.

2) Skip Lincoln Park only in summer.

3) Downtown hotel on Michigan Ave is the best spot to set up a fuckpad

4) Don't rent a car. Walking around in the summer and fall will keep you getting eye fucked by fly girls on the street. Taxis are also everywhere and the trains are pretty good and additional game spots.

hope this helps.

Bringing this one back to life. Any new venues you guys have been hitting up lately? Also, do any of you have a place in the city you like to go to again and again? That place where you always feel at home and score fairly regularly? I've yet to find my spot.

Missed this thread when it was fresh. My condo is downtown next to Michigan Ave, can confirm the tons of attractive girls part. I'm rarely in the city so I have little else to say. In the summer all days of the week are great, things slow down in the winter.

I'm pretty sure the Viagra Triangle is not what it used to be. A good 4-5 years ago, before I had moved, I was out with my friends and there was no shortage of very attractive females, blondes, in their 20s. Its at the point now that I won't even take a girl to that area for drinks. The most attractive girls are the ones that work at the venues, and the crowd is a mix of dudes and people that are too old. I kept thinking I was out on the wrong night or the weather wasn't just right, but now I'm pretty sure its just shit.

I was in Chicago a couple months ago. The Viagra Triangle was terrible every night we went there. Lincoln Park was OK Thurs thru Sat but it was college frat-mode.

Bull and Bear on Friday's between 4 and 6ish. Usually get a good mix of professional ladies after work looking to kick back and relax. Shields are way down during these hours as well. I've done pretty well there on that day and time.

English is also pretty good during the same hours on Fridays. Same conditions, and rolling dolo is the way to go.

Yea I haven't partied in the Vi-Tri for a couple months now. Great place to take a girl for drinks near there though is Le Bar at Sofitel. Swank spot, great drinks (but you'll drop a little coin).

I went back to Wicker Park this past weekend, which used to be my favorite place to party, and it's so ghetto now. All the places I used to love are full of suburb trash. We're losing all our great 'hoods! Haha. Well at least Violet Hour is still awesome (another great drinks place).

I've grown pretty tired of the River North club scene. All the clubs just seem identical - same music, same crowd, same decor. I'm running out of options fast. Can anyone recommend any good off-the-beaten-path spots??

Post: #58

Wicker Park was really bad the night I went there as well.

I have to say, I've been to Chicago every year since 2008. And every time I've been I've had a good time except this last time. For whatever reason, the nightlife was dead and ghetto everywhere we went this summer. Also, I noticed a lot more homeless people walking around than usual downtown. Maybe the city's hurting right now.

Post: #59

I wouldn't describe the nightlife as dead by any means, I'm just not finding the vibe I'm looking for. I might just have to resort back to pulling rapid fire game on latinas at V-Live.

Post: #60

There was a problem with thugs downtown this summer, but magically school started and now they are all gone.

There are two types of homeless, the panhandlers and the guys that eat out of garbage cans. The latter don't bother you. I've seen an increase in the first category.

When it comes to nightlife, in all cities, not just Chicago, crowds change quick. Suddenly that quiet bar on the corner has a rainbow flag and trannies smoking out front; the hip club with a line of blonde hotties in short skirts now has a crowd of dudes and fat chicks. That said, I'm not a big fan of Chicago's nightlife right now.

Post: #61

Yeah... definitely seems like it's in a down cycle over there right now.

OK Chicago Veterans : Help a Fellow Forum Brother out here, I need to be in Chicago downtown from Oct 15 -19, Downtown hotels rates are through the roof, parking is a bitch and expensive down town.

Would prefer to be in downtown but Is there an area a little north on lakeshore dr that I can find a place to stay for 4 nights or a week, I am thinking something like couchsurfing although have never done that, or a furnished apt or as a paying guest ?

Any suggestions are welcome...........

Post: #63

Man you are missing out, looks like the weather will come close to hitting 80 there this weekend. There is going to be talent out.

I don't have any suggestions on hotels. Have you tried airbnb.com?

Chicago and Toronto are like twin cities. Pretty much 100% identical both in terms of the women, as well as the architecture, venues, weather, night life, etc.

In both cities, the women are hot but stuck up and cold. But you do see enough VERY hot girls. These two cities have identical culture and life style.

Post: #65

1bliss,

While there are many similarities between Chicago and Toronto, I would disagree about the women. Sure, you need to have your game tight in Chicago but in my opinion the women aren't that stuck up.

I cut my teeth, so to speak, in DC so coming out to Chicago I noticed a more friendly vibe with the girls. Keep in mind there are a lot of girls from other parts of the midwest (Kansas, Nebraska etc) who move out to Chicago. They aren't the student government types (from all over the US) that move to DC. These heartland girls will do a poor job at fronting like they're tankgirls but game can pierce that facade pretty quickly.

The vibe I got from girls in Toronto was c.o.l.d.. Tough city to crack in my opinion. Full disclosure, I've spent way more time in Chicago than in Toronto, but I disagree that the women are 100% identical.

People from Chicago tend to think they are the salty, fast-talking big city types. They are...

relative to the rest of the Midwest.

As big city types go, Chicagoans are still pretty friendly.

Post: #66

Chicago girls are definitely friendlier than the coasts. They're also not as hot.

Post: #67

Alright Chicago Players...... Found a place close to downtown and will be there Oct 16 - 20th, Looking for a wingman for a collective sarge session...

I guess not the best nights Sun, Mon Tue and Wed but what is my best bet during those days and nights ?

Post: #68

Bumping up the Chicago thread by giving 350Zguyy a + 1. This young buck is a Solid Chiago player, had the opportunity to roll with him 2 days and what a pleasure it was to see someone who found game at 25 and quickly learned and mastered basic game, This Guys Confidence and Humor is Rock Solid and reels in the chicks

First Approach story: Sunday Day along Michigan Ave, First set we opened was 2 tourists from St.petersburg, Russia.(Pics attached) One was able to speak passable english, other one few words with sign language but were engaging with IOI's and then Bam a personal question or two in the same sentence , How Old are you and Do you have a wife/GF , Off coarse we bantered, played basic Text book Game and Fuck up avaidance game , Instadate for coffee, Some Kino arm wrestling etc , set date for later at night for drinks and dancing and let them go because I didn't want to play as their chicago tour guide and told them we have to meet 350's girlfriends and will see them later in the evening.

Things looked really good but got the Flake text about 5 min prior to meetup time ...... Damn it would have been epic to get my Russian Flag and send them Girls Mixx's way as they were heading to Miami in 3 days.

Chicago Update :

Places to stay: Like I have said it before Absoultely downtown around Michigan Ave, Loop, McCormick Place. No need to bring car Downtown.

Day Game along Michigan Ave is at it's best all day long.....

Night Spots: Were busy even on Sunday due to a bears game , One particular place was busy both sunday and Monday nights

Bulls and Bears : Women responded to standard textbook game , Boys were watching football and Girls were waiting for us to approach them.

Public House: Another place filled with a lot of talent and again surprised me as to how the girls were responsive to basic textbook Game. I was able to bounce a sister from here to Underground.

Underground: This place has the potential to be a Goldmine as it stays open till 0400AM even on Sunday night, with great music and talent.

Timothy O’Tool: Irish Bar with pool table and other games , I was able enter a 3 set who ended up buying me shots and drinks and played poll and darts with them but got blue balled for later.

Chicago has the potential to be a great town for Game as girls responded well to basic Game, NYC feel with much lesser bitch shields, Downside is weather as I think I saw last few good days to be outside and then there will be 7-8 months of brutal cold, Chicago players please chime in on how to play in colder weather in the windy city.

One Thing I forgot to mention was Wicker Park area, Hipster heaven I guess but a must visit , I only went to a couple of places like Moonshine and one more but lots of stunners during day and nighttime as well plus the area has a very cool and artisitc vibe to it.......

Anyone rolling through Chicago give 3fity a shout out , I'm sure he'll hook you up with the Pertinent new Intel......

Game on Brothers

Guys, I found a hot spot in Bucktown / Wicker Park that is similar to the Funky Buddha Lounge vibe with great hip hop music and diverse crowds (trending more towards Black/Latino, with some random Whites, Asians, Indians, etc.) called "Empire Liquors". Definitely worth checking out fellas. Glad I stumbled upon this thread. It's too bad we're headed into the cold-ass winter season. Happy hunting y'all!

Post: #73

Since Im new here and I have a few questions about cancun I figure I add my chicago info being local.

The hottest spot right now is Hubbard street. You have Paris Club which words cant describe. They turn away girls that would otherwise get free bottle service elsewhere. Definitely worth walking past near close. The Hubbard Inn is a new 3 story bar which gets plenty of action with non of the bs standing in line and hope you get picked crap that you get at paris club. Vince Vaughn can be spotted here after hawk games. Bull and bear which has plenty of eye candy. If you can pull off the clean cut douchebag with money look this is your spot. The new cougar spot is Rockit bar and girll, located right next to howl at the moon these cougars are more of the Lucky jeans wearing, get what they want where as howl is more less high maintenance types but the quality isnt as nice as rockits. Social 25 is the late spot in this location, think its open til 3 or 4 and all the drunks head over. Would say the male to female ratio is 5:1 but its 3 am so you don't many choices. Hub 51 is a nice spot but its more of a group hangout than a singles scene. If you got a nice wing girl your set here.

I walked down Michigan Ave today. Usually Mondays are good because girls aren't walking around with their BF's and fat moms -- the pedestrians are sparse now. Suggestion for winter game: wear a big coat or leave. It was in the 60s in NYC today, and practically snowing here.
