OHKAY.
So, my friends and I usually end up at this place at some point during our weekend - it's just too fun. Here's what I love about this place:
1. The First Level: Upon walking in, you'll see many people gathered around the bar while loud throwbacks and current dance and indie hits play in the background (there are usually two DJs, one for the upstairs area and another for the basement area). In the corner, you can see the staff baking pizzas - I always forget to ask the bartenders about them, so I've never tried one. Although the downstairs area is better for dancing, you'll have no issue with getting your juke on in the first level.
2. The Basement: If you really came here to dance, you want to walk downstairs to the basement. A combination of great dance hits mixed with awesome hip hop throwbacks can be heard downstairs. You can usually find a great dance circle to crash. WARNING: The floors in the basement become very slippery, so be careful when you're getting your grind on.
3. Drinks: Drinks are normally priced for Wicker Park - not the cheapest, but definitely not the most expensive.
4. Ambience: Everyone who comes here comes to have a great time - it's never a dull moment at Crocodile. It's so much fun.
ALSO, there is a $5 cover charge, so just be aware.
In short, I LOVE this place.
I come here occasionally and I always have a good time. This place can get really crowded at night and the music is wayyy to loud for the space offered, but other than that this place is great. They have some of the better fishbowls (they're called crocbowls there) I've had in Chicago, and you get a small pizza with every drink you buy. Also, there is a comedy show every Thursday so check that out when you can!
Review Source:Crocodile is located in the middle of Wicker Park and is a nice spot for a night out. Â There is usually no cover but at times when it is busy they may charge $5. Â There is no rhyme or reason but perhaps when they are busy they can afford to do this. Â The main floor is a skinny and long area with seating on both sides. Â There is a live DJ that usually plays top 40 with a mix of oldies hits. Â He can really throw you off at times. Â There is a downstairs area that is free of charge before a certain time or a certain capacity. Â Again there is no rhyme or reason but it probably depends on capacity. Â If there is a charge it is usually only $2. Â The downstairs area is more conducive to dancing as there is very little lighting and much more floor space. Â Crocodile offers affordable drink selections and pizza in the back. Â They close early at around 1:30 so make sure you have plans for after if you wanted to continue your night.
Review Source:Ugh. I thought I liked it here before until they tried to charge me a $5 cover the other night. Seriously? For what? You don't have live music or entertainment. What am I paying for? This isn't River North.
The crowd, as others have said, can be douchey but that doesn't deter me. Drinks are a little overpriced also. $6 for a 312 bottle? Please. I used to come because I liked the vibe, and secretly I love dancing downstairs when I'm all liquored up. But for a $5 cover charge, I will find elsewhere to shake my groove thing. This isn't that kind of 'hood.
I give it a 3...The drinks were good...Got the fishbowl and tasted the BF's slushie drinks and they were both pretty good but a tad too sweet...Went on a Thursday and it was not as packed as I expected it to be...But then again, it is January in Chicago...My HUGE gripe was that I was not allowed to use the bathroom at 1:40am...The bar closes at 2 and they cut people off from the bathrooms when the lights turn on...This may be a tad TMI but when I have to go, I HAVE TO GO!!! I begged, pleaded and said it was an emergency but no dice...I grabbed my coat and asked the security guard where the closest other bar was to see if they would let me use the bathroom otherwise there would be my bare @$$ squatting in front of the place...Went to the bar across the way and they were VERY understanding of the fact that when it's an emeregency, IT'S AN EMERGENCY!!!
Review Source:I go here on Thursdays. Downstairs there is a comedy show every Thursday at 8 or 9ish EVERYONE SHOULD GO. Every drink you buy you get a free small pizza with, and it's actually tasty. It's a great time for a few hours with some good laughs.
The show is free, and the drinks are well priced for it being in wicker park.
If you like to dance at 1030 they have their own little rave type dance party going on.
Went here for a friends birthday and had an awesome time! I also seemed to run into everyone I know there....I only had one drink, the fishbowl because if you are going to go to Crocodile you have to have one, so I was told. It was a delicious drink, but for $18 it needed to be stronger. THough it is definitely big enough to share with a friend. We went on a 90's day (third saturday of the month), so we had our share of 'old school' moments and loved every second of it! The line seems long to get in, but it moves fast and guess what NO COVER. Since I am soooo over the pricey cover of most clubs, this was great for me. We were granted access downstairs by paying a $3 cover, which I really did not want to do but I needed to go down and find my brother. MEH. The music downstairs sucked and yes its true, it seems like a basement house party with a bunch of high schoolers.
All in all, i would definitely go back I had a great time, I enjoyed my drink, and the music was awesome for my group of kids who grew up in the 90's!!
The owner is a racist bastard. I know many people who have worked for him in the past and they all say the same. He has gone as far as instructing people not to play "too black" and talking about hiring more security if they are playing black music. My earlier review was from when he was not in town but running the place from another state. Ever since he's been back it has been poorly run. My regular hip hop Wednesday night was replaced with crappy club music. I haven't set foot in there since. Find another club. Empire is good and right down the street.
Review Source:Went here for brunch on Sunday when Bongo Room had a line that stretched on for miles. We were not disappointed! Â The food was great, the prices were pretty reasonable as far as Chicago brunch pricing goes, and the staff was really friendly. Â We actually kept commenting to ourselves that you could tell that the staff actually really liked a) each other and b) working there. We were so pleased with our experience, and would definitely come back if we were in the city for brunch times!
The brunch buffet was really good, and they do custom omlettes, pancakes and french toast!
My only two downsides were:
1) My custom made omlette was supposed to be spinach, tomoato and feta. Â They gave me lettuce instead. Â Hot lettuce? Blech.
2) Â $4 for a coke? Â Is a little bit BS.
I've heard the legend of this place giving you pizza with every drink purchase and that's pretty dope. I still haven't witnessed it since I came for the brunch and that was on point too. $15 for the spread and tack on an extra $10 for bottomless mimosas or bloodys. Honestly I thought the bottomless was included in the $15 but we kept it moving.
The spread was decent. Made to order omelettes/pancakes, pastries, basic breakfast, salad bar, soup, pastas, stir fry, seafood rice...get my drift. The foods quality was @ the level that you pay but I enjoyed it for Sunday funday. The mimosas kept coming...easily went through over ten carafes.
The place itself was pretty easily setup. Double sided boo-fay, staff was attentive and accommodating, and they didn't trip that we mingled and stayed four hours. David Broom from the Real World NO was actually there bar tending as well and doing a good job too. He had no problem helping and interacting with us so that was pretty cool since I came up off MTV. Â I just wish there was a jukebox that played "Come on be my Baby Tonight!"
Catch an update soon because I have to live out this pizza legend and I've also heard the nightlife here has good music.
Crocodile 10 dollar bottomless mimosas......will you marry me?
Stopped in here yesterday afternoon for brunch and it was a great Sunday Funday.
15 Dollar all you can eat brunch. Carving station, salads, pastries, pastas, stir fries, spicy eggs.....shit loads of crispy bacon. Not to mention the made to order omelettes and chocolate chip pancakes.
Rick Astley, Taylor Dane, Bell Biv Devoe, Heart and more music to go with my mimosa buzz.
The food wasn't the best brunch food I ever had, but it also wasn't the worst and I had like 4 plates so who am I kidding???
We got there before noon and it wasn't that crowded, but it started getting packed a couple hours later so we sat outside and kept drinking.
Service was A Plus.
Oh Crocodile!!! You have so saved me from listening to annoying, lame-ass top 40 remixes, ludicrous $20 covers, douchy bouncers, preoccupied bartenders, 40 year old creepers, and the "ungodly sight" of bottle service!!!
Until now (hopefully never) have I ever had problems with this place! I've only had awesome times with awesome people at Crocodile!
What I love about this place?
Their fish bowl
Free pizza with a drink purchase
Downstairs DJ is awesome better than those at clubs
Diverse crowd who just wanna have a good time
I can't comment on the food or drinks, but will on the people and music.
Upstairs has good music, but is a little disastrous to attempt to dance while everyone is mixing around, walking to the bathroom, trying to get pizza. It serves as a good break from the intense dancing downstairs.
The DJ downstairs is AWESOME, some old school hip hop, top40, and some mixed in house. The bartender gets extra points for pouring my shot into a cup rather than a small shotglass.
For those who like homogeneity, this is not your place. I like diversity, and this place has a good mix of everyone. I only mention this since I ran into a guy wearing an abercrombie sweater who "only likes white people." ICK!
Downsides are as follows (1) the floor can get slippery downstairs if enough drunk bachelorette's spill their drinks while attempting to dance and (2) the bathroom lines upstairs are INSANE. Be prepared to find a nearby bush if you really have to go.
In all fairness, Wicker Park bars aren't really my kind of bars. Â I like a good dive or non-douchey sports bar, but I used to frequent Nick's and never had a problem there. Â I've gone to People Lounge a few times and enjoyed myself and I secretly love Salud, so I don't hate every WP bar. Â Crocodile sucks though.
Douche douche douche douche (think of that like untz untz untz untz). Â That's all I could think when I looked around. Â If you have a mouth, use it. Â This isn't a mosh pit. Â It's a bar and pushing people to get through does not work for me. Â Also, putting your hands on a girl's waist while pushing past doesn't make it acceptable either. Â
"There's a lot of brown people here!" - said, a brown person. Â
I'm pretty sure the Pilsen crowd (based solely on their house party dancing) had an average age of 12. Â So, if you like 12 year olds, come here. Â If you like to have your butt touched by everyone walking by, come here. Â If you're a dude who wants to wait behind 10 other dudes to pee, come here. Â (Ladies, you'll only have 1-2 people ahead of you.) Â If you want your beer served to you in a plastic glass, come here. Â (Fine, now I'm just being a jerk.)
The DJ sucked. Â He was a wanna be Major Taylor, except he wasn't good, at all. Â He did however play Pitbull and Don Omar. Â I might have smiled then. Â (Fine, I definitely smiled and possibly danced, but that was where I drew my line of fun.) Â His transitions were awful though. Â AWFUL. Â
I've been to Crocodile once before and I hated it....and that was when I was in my early 20s and frequented a specific bar in Wicker Park. Â Years later and I avoid this area at all costs. Â Too bad it was a friend's birthday. Â Never again, Crocodile.
While waiting for the Bongo Room, my friends and I spied what was of course an even better idea. $15 brunch buffet? Don't mind if I do! I'm pretty sure I've never eaten that many country potatoes, cheesy grits, pancakes and French toast. The Bongo Room is certainly a better meal but the Crocodile grants you almost unlimited choice. Also, bottomless mimosas and bloody Marys is basically the greatest thing ever.
Review Source:Free personal pizza per drink is enough to get me in the door, but beyond that it is a regular bar. Their gimmick is every drink buys you a free pizza made by some overly muscular man that is strict about presenting your coupon.
The pizza doesn't come with toppings, but can be spiced with your choice of condiments ( pepper, cheese, garlic, etc.). The drinks themeseleves are rather reasonable priced 5-7 dollar beers and 18 dollar fishbowls. I have found the fishbowl is the way to go--but be warned they are dangerously drinkable.
I have only had the misfortune to go downstairs once and it felt like being at a bad high school dance:dark, loud music and strange heads every time your hips move. I would recommend avoiding unless you really need to self esteem boost.
The crowd can get a little weird and by weird I mean old, but that is price you pay for a free pizza. Come but known that their weekday DJ can be weak, so the pizza may not be enough to keep you in your sit long.
The Crocodile Lounge is a good place to go when you're short on cash. Order a PBR and you'll get a small, really delicious pizza with it for around $2. Most other drinks are priced a little higher to account for the pizza, but overall it's still a good deal.
They also have a free improv show at 9pm on Friday nights downstairs which I would recommend checking out.
One day I came here for brunch and had no idea what to expect. Well, I'll tell you that it definitely wasn't bad, definitely wasn't amazing though. Â They offer a buffet brunch with a myriad of dishes. Some good, some mediocre. The decor isn't anything to write home about, kind of rustic from what I remember, but nothing overly special which is a good thing sometimes. Â There was also a crowd in here of all types.
Overall, the experience was mainly positive, although they could get better at things like their lox. Â I also enjoyed the music selection. 90s and some 80s? Nothing like eating a chorizo dish while listening to Relax by Frankie Goes to Hollywood.
For me, Crocodile has been a tale of two experiences. Â The first time I went was actually for a Sunday brunch, which was shockingly good. Â It was all you can eat and very high quality. Â The second time I went was on a Monday evening with some friends for casual drinks. Â This time the staff was inattentive and the DJ playing was way too loud and intense for a Monday night. Â I also found it very strange that they serve beer out of plastic pint glasses.
Ultimately, Crocodile is a better brunch venue than bar.
I've been to Crocodile twice--once at night for drinks at once for breakfast.
As a bar this place has a very cool atmosphere. The bar is a fun area with neat lighting and a great overhead beer menu. The music was pretty noisy for the purposes of grabbing a drink with friends, but if you don't mind that kind of atmosphere, it's great otherwise. They also have a late-night pizza menu which we didn't take advantage of, but everything coming out of the pizza oven looked delicious (for $3/slice).
My other experience was much more enjoyable. Crocodile has an AMAZING brunch buffet with pretty much anything you could possibly want for breakfast (including made-to-order omelets). Also great deals on mimosas. What was especially great about this place for brunch is since it's so unexpectedly great, it wasn't incredibly crowded (not something you can say for virtually any other Wicker Park/Bucktown brunch place).
Free Comedy in the basement on Thurday. Free pizza with any alcohol purchase any day. Great spot to come & be the weird solo dude. Pretty standard drink list / menu. They have some pretty funny comedians downstairs also. Last night, some homeless dude outside was doing all kinds of magic, he put a burning cigarette through my friends shirt and made it disappear & there was no hole in my friends shirt. Trippy!
1 pool table.
This place makes me want to go out in Wicker Park. I normally don't make the trek over from Lakeview, but here's what to love:
1) Free Mini-Pizza with each Drink - hell yea!
2) Great dance music/DJ - love!
Granted, my friends and I pretty much took up the entire back space as a large group so we had a little private-ish area that was somewhat removed from potential douche-bags that a place like this could attract. For now, though, 4-stars!!
At Wicker Park Fest, we picked up a flyer that read: $15 all-you-can-eat brunch at Crocodile.
SOLD.
We got to Crocodile around 11PM on Sunday morning. The place was already packed, although we were seated immediately.
Most of the food served during brunch is buffet-style, which makes for easy access however compromises the quality of the food. There was plenty of food to choose from (a lot of salads) but nothing was really fresh.
The buffet lacked bread, & bagels.
If you want an omelet, pancakes, or french toast, you have to order them from your server. Our server didn't pay us much attention and it took forever to pin her down & take our order.
I ordered pancakes. They were small & burnt.
Meh. I wouldn't do it again.
This bar has some style to it, kind of looks like an authentic Sicilian pizza restaurant, with the oven ready for action, but...the pizza is just not cutting it. Their drinks are what you should be coming in for, because of their signature bowls (totally recommended) and their nice bartenders. They don't really have plenty of TVs for you to think this is a sports bar although you certainly can come watch the Bulls play during regular season, and because of their relaxing atmosphere chances are you'll be able to meet people a lot easier than at other places.
They have stand up comedy on Thursdays, and it's pretty cool and FREE. Totally a good opportunity to get drunk with a bunch of friends.
Be sure to eat before coming here, and just enjoy their drinks!
Jameson Slushy = Pure Genius.
It's really too bad they don't sell this at 7-11.
I'd probably show up to work hammered, half in the bag, f*cked in half, drunk, sloshed, lubed, sh*tfaced, f*cked up, shwasted...all of the above, if they could sell that in Big Gulp size on the way to el job-o. Â
I would bring a kiddie pool and fill it so I could fulfill a slushy wrestling fantasy involving midgets, a miniature horse and a clown with giant shoes. Â
Or I would just drink the hell out of this. Â Probably just the drinking part.
Every drink here comes with a free pizza. Â I hate that they ask if you want the pizza, and then act slightly annoyed that you do. Â I mean, of course I want the pizza, it's FREE. Â I know it really isn't, but it's rolled into my drinks price. Â So unless you're going to either subtract a couple bucks off the drink, OR double the size of the drink, of course I want the damn pizza, what do Iook like to you?
I love pizza. Â This is no exception. Â It's crusty and tastes like someone cared when they made it. Â Care when making pizza = LOVE. Â LOVE = Jameson Slushie. Â Jameson Slushie = Pizza. Â It's all circular, do you see where this is going? Â It's a positive feedback loop with the only end in sight being when you leave Crocodile. So nab a table outside or grab some bench inside. Â You won't be disappointed. Â if you are disappointed, you were probably born into a weird cult that discourages you from consuming icy alcoholic beverages and cheese topped carb slates.
I came here for brunch last weekend and it was just alright. I think we got there a little late because by 1pm everything was thoroughly picked over. There were no plates at first, no charcuterie, no french toast, and they were missing few other things they advertised in their menu that I was looking forward to. Still, I was pleased with the mimosas and bloodys because they were pretty strong which was surprising. Maybe they were making up for their lack of preparedness with a little extra booze, who knows.
I've worked in restaurants before and to me it seemed to me like everyone was overwhelmed. They seemed unprepared for the crowd or something, I'm not sure exactly what the deal was.
I'll give their brunch another try since I live so close and I want it to be as good as it sounds. If they had everything they advertised then $15 would be a great deal. Based on what was there last Sunday I feel a bit ripped off. Oh, and our server didn't come to our table for at least 20 minutes after we showed up. We had to help ourselves to the buffet.
FREE MINI PIZZA WITH EACH DRINK! Come on, that's kinda amazing! I recommend getting here a little early so you can get a seat/actually hear your friends. I'm lactose intolerant, and so I always ask the guy in the back to make mine without cheese. It takes 5 minutes, and then I get my own fresh mini cheese-less pizza! You can't go wrong with it. I would only say that you probably shouldn't go for dinner before coming here, because if you are anything like me that would mean ending up having a full dinner somewhere, then eating 3 pizzas post dinner..
Gets kinda crowded later on, and in the front they may take away the seats, so if you wanna hang out there with a group of friends for a while I recommend getting a seat in the back.
They also have those fishbowl drinks which terrify me. I don't know how those can ever end well, but if that's your thing they got that here!
$15 brunch buffet and $10 bottomless bloody mary action!
The brunch was awesome as I was able to have rice w/seafood, cabbage & sausage, spicy cheese eggs, chicken marsala & ham.
The bloodys were kind of weak, but enough of them created a mild buzz.
Our servers were nice, but sometimes difficult to get a hold of. Because it was nice out, we got the patio which was kinda cramped as it is pretty small. It gave us an excuse to drag people into our crazy conversations...lol.
Their brunch is definitely worth a try...good stuff!
Fishbowlin' it in da Wicker! Â I had all the potantial to had this place since Wicker Park is slowly turning into another wrigleyville. You walk in and immediately smell fumes from the kitchen baking those free pizzas (I am getting to that). Then you hear some people moving to the down stairs area and hear the cool music. I make my way to get to the downstairs part and they hit you with an admission fee. Five bucks. Hmmm is it worth it??? Yes!
I immediately noticed that it was significantly darker in here (after all, it is a basement). The music is usually somekind of electro. People dancing withing thier respective groups. We got ourselves a fishbowl to share. They have different kinds to choose from too! Share the fishbowl and save your recipet! The downstairs seems a bit dingy but is a cool place to end your night with your drink reciept! I am sure if they turned the lights on any brighter, it would look disgusting. The free pizza wasn't super bad, it was just "aiight".
So if you already had a few cocktails in you, and are looking to stroll into a little place to end your night.
I'm not even sure what to say about this place. Â They have a free mini-pizza with every drink you buy and they play soft-core porn on the TV's. Â This is basically every man's favorite bar on the planet. Â If you're a chick, it's tolerable, I guess. Â
I cannot speak as to the "rape den" (aka the basement) club downstairs because, well, why would anyone go hang out in a place referred to as a "rape den?" Â Even if you're hammered drunk, you should know better.
We went here on the night Whitney died and the DJ played a adequate tribute to the late Queen of Crack. Â I appreciate that. Â My boo (just kidding -- I would never actually say "boo" in real life, but somehow it seems appropriate when talking about this place) said that the bass in the front of the bar was mesmerizing. Â I'm not sure what that means, but if you're into that sort of thing, you would appreciate this place.
Also, lots of people (aka: women would would seriously use the word "boo" in their everyday vernacular) were drinking electric blue slushy drinks. Â I'm not sure what it was, but seemed to be their specialty drink. Â I like to refer to it as "rape juice."
I went here for the first time Saturday night with some friends, and I wasn't sure what to expect. After a couple of drinks, pizza, dancing, and some naughty movies, I think it's safe to say I had a fun enough time.
All I have really heard about this place is that it gives you a free pizza with every drink purchase. Cool, no? Ehh, kinda.The drinks are too overpriced for my taste-my modest Rum and Coke was $9 plus tip, and a beer was $6. That little pizza was pretty tasty right out of the oven, but it wasn't anything too spectacular. I also got to have some of the Fuzzy Peach Fish Bowl. I would recommend getting one of those-it's the only drink you'll need all night!
But what I can't seem to grasp my head around are those X-Rated movies that play on the tv's in the back, and by the kitchen. I'm not quite sure if I want to be watching soft-core action while waiting in line for the bathroom. They kind of creeped me out, because they seemed to fuel the hook-up atmosphere that this place reeked of. It just seemed like they were trying too hard to be cool or something. I don't get it. Blah, whatever. I probably wouldn't come back here unless I had a reason to. Sorry, Crocodilly!
My man and I went here for a comedy show that was supposed to be "downstairs on Saturday night" according to many resources on the net.
We get there and the waitress has no idea what we are talking about, goes and asks, and returns telling us that if we don't hear anything by 8:45, we should assume its not going to happen.
We did enjoy our free tiny cheese pizza with our one drink.
We bailed shortly after. Empty on a Saturday night.
This place is one of my favorite bars in Wicker Park. Usually they have good djs on the weekends. Great selection of beers.
When I tell my friends about it, this is how I describe it: It's the bar with the cool green neon sign. Inside, they have good beers, for every drink you buy, you get a ticket for a free personal pizza (which are delicious btw), and after 1130ish, cinemax on all TVs. It's no wonder that these folks are always busy. The owner is a pretty cool guy who works hard and is not pompous. The bouncers are what bouncers should be: classy with people but if they have to regulate douchebags, they do it.
It's a no-brainer. If you want to have a good time and want a mixed crowd, go here. It's fun.
Because I am somewhat of an old soul, one of the keys to a good bar in my book is a place to sit down. Luckily for me, the group I was with snagged the corner table right at the front, allowing for dual people watching both in and out of the bar. Free pizza to eat (with drink purchase) while watching the Wicker Park hipster parade; now you're talkin'! I graduated from college in May of 2010, and this place makes an effort to cater to that demographic. The music was reminiscent of a middle school dance, which is often a welcome change from the Top 40.
They charge you to go downstairs, but if you wait long enough, people start dancing upstairs. Since free is my favorite number and I hates to give up my seat (especially while in the middle of chowing down on my mediocre free pizza), I didn't venture downstairs. A place like this can be a whole lot of fun if you are in the right company and you have a delightful resting place for your bum in between dancing. I probably won't keep this place in my regular rotation, but I sure had a lot of fun while I was there!
Went here for brunch on Sunday. It was advertised as $10 for brunch buffett and $10 for bottomless mimosas. When we get there, this tiny place was SLAMMED. They were fitting as many people as they could at these incredibly small tables. It was a madhouse. Also, the price of the brunch had been raised $5, so the food was $15, bottomless still $10, FYI.
Despite the craziness and disarray, the food was actually pretty damn good. The mimosas were quite champagne-y [read: NOT weak], there was some awesome 90s R&B being played, and they were playing the football game on the tv. Well played, Crocodile, well played.
Free pizza with each purchase of alcohol? Kind of like the windowless 'free candy' van, though much more legit. As for the pizza, it's okay... as in not bad, average, will probably help ya more than hurt you. JUST TAKE IT, 'cause it's free!
As for the drinks - meh, as in nothing remarkable. This isn't a craft cocktail or beer bar and they're not trying to aspire to be that, either. Rather, Crocodile's the type of bar that attracts patrons that drink to get drunk rather than drink for the sake of enjoying their libations. And there's nothing wrong with that: Been there, done it but my objectives changed following college graduation. Again, if you're out to get your inebriation on among like-minded individuals in a fun, crowded, sweaty, hip hop-heavy, hook-up friendly environment, you've found your scene.
The good news is it won't cost you that much. FREE dinner in the form of mini-pizzas, ya hear?
Dude, you can't really hate on a place that gives you a free little pizza with every drink you buy. That's pretty much why I go to Crocodile. Time to go out drinking? But I'm kinda hungry. But I don't really feel like wasting time finding a place to eat, and I want to drink NOW. Crocodile. They even have sriracha that you can put on your pizza, if you're into that kinda thing (I'm not).
The crowd at Croc is a mixed bag. You get the hip hop heads, the nighttime sunglass wearers, the girls that should-not-be-wearing-that. I had a pretty good time dancing to old school hip hop with some random people and a girl that was dressed like a go-go dancer without a box to dance on. The music isn't bad. Don't bother with the basement. I don't know why, but they charge you like $2 to go down into what I believe is the armpit of Wicker Park. Its dark, sweaty, and stanky. Your new shoes will get stepped on and you will get wet, trust. Stay where the light is.
Also, whatever comes out of those slushee machines is pretty evil. One is marked Jameson and the other is some kind of vodka. My friends and I thought it looked pretty so we ordered drinks out of the Jameson one. Out came some huge glasses filled with colorful slush. We made fun of the drinks, saying we felt like they should have tiny umbrellas in them and we should be sitting by a pool. Down the hatch they went. Needless to say, I can't really remember much of the night after that.
Anyway, free pizza!
