Re: Chicago Bar/Club ideas for Saturday
I think CroBar is still around.
I remember getting caught in the middle of a gang shootout at either CroBar or Excalibur. Which one did you have to walk down an alley way to get into? Anyway we had just walked out about 4am and shots started everybody hit the ground. I guess some banger got killed at least that is what they said on the news. We didn't stick around too long after that and maybe only went back one or two times after that because of the bangers were starting to pimp their shit in the club.

| That was CroBar (I spelled it wrong). On Fulton just over the North Avenue Bridge. Not sure when it became a banger bar though. I don't recall that, I just remember the tranny hookers hanging around outside. Was never a great area though. We started going when it first opened, before the strip club was next door. Originally it was more a "goth type" bar. NIN and that kind of stuff.
After Rodman came to Chicago and they started winning all those championships, He would go there all the time. Word soon got out and the place turned into a giant Dockers commercial with all the frat boys coming to see if he was there. Soon after the thumping "club music" started and we stopped going. |

| Yeah we were going when it was goth type bar with industrial type music. I don't remember a strip club next door, might have opened after we were going there. I know we stopped going well before Rodman came around.
