It started with a basement and an idea, … and became a Chicago nightlife institution – Spybar Nightclub is celebrating its 25th Anniversary in 2022.

Spybar has been the literal underground music destination for the downtown area. The small room with the big sound on Franklin & Erie has consistently presented globally recognized live artists as well as up-and-coming producers and DJs, who are always paired with our talented resident and Chicago-area DJs. Some of the biggest festival and international party brands and record labels have thrown events which kept the dance floor packed ’til the early hours.

Spybar continues the tradition of a high-octane clubbing experience with an intimate lounge setting.
