Roscoe's is perhaps my most frequented bar when I hit when the windy city. The crowd is always diverse & wonderfully inclusive. The atmosphere can be ecclectic & energetic while retaining a positive old-world feel. I look forward to bringing my boifriend there on his first visit to Chicago. The SAM ADAMS on tap is always a rare find in the gay sphere...kuddos! J.S.L from Springfield, MO.

Roscoe's is a must visit when you're in Chicago. I have not found this place to be the "college age A&F model factory" that some say it is. Instead, I find it to be some college, some middle aged guys, and lots of girls who love gay guys. Its really an interesting mix of diversity. The place is huge with a great dance floor that can get packed! When the place is busy, I'd say the hookup potential goes down to a 1. It can get too crowded to meet and talk to other people. The staff is very friendly and efficient---some of the best bartenders I've ever seen---even when its busy. Like usual in gay bars, there are the regular gay cliques of Boystown dwellers that can make a visitor feel unwelcomed. However, hang around the front bar for a few minutes and someone will likely strike up a conversation with you. Roscoe's is a definite stop on your visit to Chicago----but its not gay heaven! The bar has it's goods and it's bads.

Roscoes has always been a fun bar. Coming from Milwaukee, it offers a diversity that we don't see. That being said, Roscoes isn't as fun as it used to be say 3-5 years ago, and no, I'm not old...only 27. On weekends, start at Roscoes and finish at Hydrate or Circuit for a complete evening.

I've been going to Roscoe's for 10 years now and still love it. Always a nice mix of twinks and athletic types. Attracts a younger crowd. Sundays in my opinion are the best... feel free to go there ultra-casual.

Great neighborhood bar on the weekdays and fun destination on the weekends. You've got to visit Roscoes at least once if you're visiting the city.

I think that Rosco's is one of the best bars. With the Best staff that they have including all of their bartenders. People who think that side tracks is better they are crazy...... Thanks for such a grat time... Keep the great work up guys ... Lots of love from the diva

Roscoe's is the place to be... Just moving here from San Fran, Ca. aka "The gay mecca" I had high expectations of the Chicago scene and Roscoe's met every single one. Hot guys, great music oh and did I say hot guys. If you are 21-35, it is a great place to been seen and find some great friends in the process. Caliboi
