Escapades

I have been working a freelance job in the midway area for some time now, and this is becoming my go to dive bar.  I always have so much fun here.  The bartender is a RIOT and makes great martinis.  I was surprised to get such a perfect martini in a local dive, but it was just that -- Perfect.  If you're looking for some dirty, unpretentious fun, I recommend this place.  You will definitely love it or hate it.

I remember this DIVE from when I lived in tha "Chi"..
This place is a DUMP:

Let's see:

1) Don't leave ANYTHING on the seats of your car when you go in.
2)Very small on the inside. VERY small.
3) Dirty bathrooms
4) Drink prices are so-so
5) Do NOT mistake the bars across Harlem for gay bars. They are not friendly in those if you are gay.
6) Don't hang outside as you will be harassed by the police.
7) Watch yourself when driving out of there. The SUmmit-Argo cops stake out Harlem and 63rd St. west of the club and are fond of DUI arrests.
8) The kicker? There are NO other good clubs anywhere close. SO going here is strictly for people from SW Chicago or the SW burbs.

If you like a difficult time and not much fun,I'd recommend this place..

Look out Cd Cafe! Escapades has the best Martinis in all of Midway!
The music was Bumping, the drinks were flowing, and  gay faces all around!
