Yelp.com Review - by Tanya R.

5 of 5 stars. Sound-bar gave me the best birthday ever! I wasn't on the list, but told the lady working the line that it was my birthday and she immediately let my friends and I inside--and entrance to the VIP…

Awesome ambiance

Being a dancer (Latin & ballroom) I had a blast with the huge dance floors and the variety of music. The upscale atmosphere made it worth it to get dressed up to go out. Arrive a little earlier and pay partial...

Yelp.com Review - by Marty D.

3 of 5 stars. Definitely mixed feelings about this place. It's hard to meet people and there are too many areas for dancing. It would be better if they opened everything out and just made one big dance floor. Don't…

More like Snob-Bar

The cover was not worth the experience. The drinks were also too expensive. The people were not hot, they were snobby. If you think you are better than everyone, this is the place for you.

Yelp.com Review - by Tim Y.

3 of 5 stars. I must say Sound Bar's got a pretty nice interior. That's about all I have to say. I've been there a couple of times and I can't really give a legitimate review of the place. So don't take this review…

Yelp.com Review - by Melanie K.

4 of 5 stars. A favorite of many South Asians living in or near the city, this club has a high-tech and spacious set up with several bars and lounges interspersed throughout the two levels of dancing. Cover is…

Yelp.com Review - by Jay D.

3 of 5 stars. Sound-Bar. The club that made quite a splash when it opened...and re-opened on the Chicago scene years ago has weakened to making a ripple in the pond. Don't go unless there is a special event or a…

Yelp.com Review - by Niki C.

1 of 5 stars. Remember when Chicago waited with baited breath for the opening of this End-All-Be-All of clubs? Remember when you had to have a special tag or card or henna tattoo or whatever the hell it was to get…

Why do you make me wait in line when the club is half full????????????

Why do you make people wait in line and no one is in the club? I don't mind to wait but only if when I get inside and the place is full.

Yelp.com Review - by toni m.

5 of 5 stars. Best nightclub in downtown Chicago. Very classy and modern place. Diverse group of people. Some nights aren't as diverse. Check ahead of time on the website. Good music.

Yelp.com Review - by Brandon H.

3 of 5 stars. It's your average early-to-mid-twenties club, techno/house music and rap/rb in various areas of the place. The setup is good, and even when it gets really crowded you can still get a drink without too…

Yelp.com Review - by Mia S.

1 of 5 stars. I wasn't thrilled at the prospect of going here in the first place but I'm basing this review solely on the staff working the line because that's as far as we got. Despite the fact that we had VIP…
