My work friend is newly divorced and newly out. Please give suggestions for clubs in the boys town/wrigleyville area... he's in his early 40's so maybe a bit older than the usual crowd?

Expensive bars and clubs where there are plenty of hot young women looking for wealthy men to spend money on them. Old Town Social, River North, etc.

Sidetrack, arguably the most popular gay bar in Chicago, has always been fun and comfortable for guys of all ages. It's located smack dab in the middle of Boystown at 3349 N. Halsted. Heck, even straight people like it.

Well Sidetrack is easy and fun, so that's a good starting point. Honestly I love Replay, which just opened this summer and is good for someone who isn't use to the scene to check things out with easy going staff and patrons. Roscoes, etc. I mean there are 10 bars all lined up right there, those are all within a few minutes walk of each other and are good ones for someone who is probably not fully comfortable and use to the environment. I didn't even know circuit is open again, I haven't really heard anything about that place in ages. Don't they charge 10 dollar cover to get in and then are more club? I wouldn't start there.

Yeah, Sidetrack is the gay bar that most straight people have been to so that makes the most sense as a starting point.

Perfect! I'll join him for a couple drinks and point out a few more destinations to hit if he's into it.

Wait...he was married, and then realized he was gay? I bet that was an interesting conversation to have with the soon-to-be ex-wife.
