It really feels like a little gay utopia where things have been turned on their head and its homonormative here not heteronormative!
It should come as no surprise that Boystown is the place to go for gay bars and clubs during the evening, but also for drinks and dinner during the day. It’s streets and crossings are lined with rainbows and it was named the “best gay neighbourhood in the world” by Out Traveler magazine! When you are looking into gay Chicago, Boystown will and should be, right at the top of your list.īoystown was the first officially recognised gay community in the US. Andersonville Northhalsted (aka Boystown) Chicago has two very distinct gay areas, Northhalsted (previously known as Boystown) and Andersonville (affectionately known as MANdersonville).
