Dick’s R U Crazy

This bar just gets better every time I come. Phil is an amazing guy, and Gary is too in his own way. The drag shows are slot of fun, the people are very friendly, and it’s much more relaxed than the bars up in Chicago. The people here are working class Joes, people who fought their way up from the bottom or are still struggling to climb that ladder. This is a place where you’ve got nothing to prove. Just be your beautiful self, these folks will welcome you no matter who you are.

Not a bad little neighborhood bar. The only gay bar in nwi. The people there are friendly, a regular crowd. Been a few times and will go again.

Gay Bars in the Region? Oh yeah — and this one’s as Region as they get. After all, Dick’s used to be in Cal City, until Illinois taxes got too rapacious, «forcing» Dicks to move to Hammond, and with the closure of Encompass in Lake Station and New Star in Glen Park, becoming Lake County’s ONLY gay bar. Honest drinks, fair prices, a clean and friendly enough atmosphere and the usual crowd of suspects, only with that Region edge true Rats know and love so well. Think «Da Bears,» but with stuffed cabbage instead of sausage. Stop in on your way to Halstead St. — you might find yourself saving the trip into Chicago. Stop in on your way back — and you just might find what you didn’t in the Windy City. And no, I DON’T mean a pricey parking ticket on your windshield, courtesy of the CPD. But, it may turn out to be a sausage.
