I’ve shared a couple reviews of Rick’s (and several other Chicago area clubs) previously. This one will be shorter to avoid duplicative content and is posted mainly to share an expensive mistake I made: falling…

I’ve never been here before, but have long intended to stop by at some point given generally favorable reviews. After not-so-great experiences at my usual places—Polekatz and Rick’s—I decided to give Club 390 a try,…

Visited last week. Hadn’t been in years, back when it was called “pink monkey” and under different ownership. But curiosity got the better of me. Paid the cover and walked upstairs. Meager selection. Maybe 6…
