So what alternatives exist for meeting guys here in the Windy City that don’t involve drinking? Are there places to meet your next potential boyfriend that don’t include the words like bar, nightclub or tavern? Well – according to an informal survey of therapy professionals here at 2SC – the answer is yes! Who wants to compete with loud music, loud voices and loud personalities? This point is particularly true if you struggle with being around big crowds and jam packed social scenes.
Let’s be honest for a moment – the bars along Halsted Street and in Andersonville are not always the best places for meaningful conversation. But if you are like a lot of gay men who visit our Northside counseling offices, you are probably wondering about different places to meet someone away from the nightlife scene. The gay bars in Chicago can be a fun place to hang out – particularly if you are looking for a spot to chill with friends.
