I have found a new go-to establishment in NW Indiana - it is Fantasy. After reading reviews from other TUSCL experts, I decided, on a whim, to try Fantasy in the early afternoon. Seems...

Traveling through the Indiana/Illinois border recently, I decided to stop by Fantasy to see what I could get cooking. After usual ID check, $5 entry and $4 drink with tip I settled into my bar...

I made a date to connect with my CF at this watering hole after missing my connection with her last time around. Last time, I arrived toward the end of her...

This afternoon, I spent several hours enjoying myself at a local casino. In that I did not make a large contribution to the local indian retirement fund (and, actually, might have made a...

Louie's has often been described as hit or miss. This was a rare miss for me. I texted a recent CF here to see if she would be working and was told she would...

After striking out elsewhere, I decided to take a flier on a pit-stop at Fantasy. With sufficiently low expectations, I entered, showed my ID (not scanned, thank you) and paid my $5. Upon entering,...

I happened to be in the neighborhood after a late evening delivery, so I thought I would stop off for a quickie. It had been a very long time since my last visit,...

After a less than satisfying visit at another area club, I slid in to Louie's to see what was going on. As it was early afternoon, I was able to get a great...

This visit was truly a TUSCL special. I have driven past this establishment so many times I cannot count. Until reading reviews on TUSCL, I had no idea this was anything other...

I have never had the occasion to visit this club on a Friday night as I am not usually in town, but, on this date, had the opportunity, so I took it. Free...

I wanted to try some place new for the first time, so I gave Fantasy a spin. The club is kind of a dump on the outside next to an abandoned restaurant (Denny?)and a couple...

I stopped by Arnie's for a quick, old reliable visit. To my surprise, for the first time, I left disappointed. I arrived around 7:00. This should not have been the issue as I...

After making a drop at nearby O'Hare, I decided I needed a drink and stopped in to Louie's with very low expectations as it was only around 2:00. I was under the impression...

This review is a month old -- sorry -- life got busy on me. On this particular date, I stopped by on what happened to be the Bogie's Christmas Party. I was...

I do not usually find myself in or anywhere near Harvey -- especially on a Sunday and most especially not in the later afternoon. But, here I was. Without any preplanning at...

On a recent Monday afternoon, I stopped in to Honey's around 5:00. There were only 2 cars in front, so I was not sure what to expect. There was an open sign...

I decided to skip lunch on this date and, instead, enjoy a liquid lunch at Louie's. OK -- truth be told, I was on the prowl for some new talent and decided to...

Arnies is the equivalent to drive-thru service for those enjoying the company of AA Entertainers. Kinda like McDonalds -- reasonably priced, consistent quality, unpretentious, rapid service. I have yet to see anyone...

I stopped in fairly early on a Sunday evening. I paid the $5 and got a reasonably priced beer. I have been to Henry's before, but never secured a lapper nor a...

I have been meaning to record this visit to Bogies for several weeks. After an unsuccessful visit to Henry's, I decided to go with old reliable. To my surprise, the club was...

I stopped by around 7:00 PM after a long drive in pouring rain. In the front row of the parking lot, there were 2 motorcycles and 5 cars. I slid my truck...

Seeking to wipe away a forgettable experience at PP, decided to stop by Louie's for a beer. Even though it was a weekday night in pouring rain, the place was jammed. I...

This brief visit was sooooo off the charts bad, it demanded to be documented. Granted, it was a weekday night in considerable rain, but . . . Entered Playpen and slowly walked toward bar...

Heavenly Bodies should be given an award for most effective use of interior lighting! Anytime you enter a club from bright sunshine until afternoon, you end up feeling blinded in the dark when...
