10Best Dance Clubs
Vision
(Nightlife - Dance Clubs)
632 N Dearborn St, Chicago  60610 • 312-266-1944
Distance: ~0.70 mi *
        Description: RIVER NORTH. Whether you choose to spend your time dancing on the lower level to hard-hitting house and trance or lounging around with a cocktail on one of the upper floors, Vision is varied enough to please even the most finicky night owls. Top-notch international DJs – think Armin van Buuren, Markus Schulz, and DJ Tiesto – spin a fierce mix of house, trance, techno, hip-hop, and more. An excellent sound and light system and a whimsical indoor waterfall keep things interesting.

Rednofive / The Fifth Floor
(Nightlife - Dance Clubs)

Distance: ~1.44 mi *
        Description: RIVER WEST. Resident and guest DJs spin everything from hip-hop to techno in these separate yet affiliated clubs. Rednofive's alley entrance leads into a smoky, dingy subterranean den. Designed to emulate an '80s rock club, it draws a surprisingly upscale crowd. The Fifth Floor, located upstairs, is still smoky but more open with a great sound system, dance floor, and lighting show. Give them a call to find out who's spinning and what ambience to expect. Dress code applies.
