Radio Star

DON’T GO! This place is like going back to high school in a bad way, a bunch of kids everywhere. i went because, my cousin turned 21. His friends chose the place. He bought a party packet but they charged him and didn’t book it. The bouncers are rude, unprofessional, and i don’t want to go too much into it. No class, a bunch of kids run the place and i’ve seen more class at Burger King. You can only drink in a really small area of the club and can’t sit anywhere with your drinks. So this place is NOT a place where you want to party at all. the place is smaller than my backyard. the whole night it reminded me of family get togethers, kids everywhere. the point of this is; if you want to party like an adult don’t go to Radiostar. The only thing i liked about this place was that it keeps all the kids and losers away from the real good places. one more thing to those who like going there. I mean no disrespect, but get a life and grow up.

honestly this place is pure ‘D’ garbage, point blank period. The place is for 18+ and they let people in the club with gym shoes on… you already know what type of place it is. The only reason I went here is because my friends couldn’t get into Zentra because they had jeans on.

I WANTEDTO TAKE A F******N SHOWER AFTER I WENT HERE! Last night my friends and I went here on a Saturday night. One of my friends isn’t 21 yet so it was either El Volcan or Radiostar. We made the wrong choice. We waited in line for about 25 minutes and I had to hear some guys excessively swear (which is tacky). I saw a lot of black people in line so I thought it was hip-​hop night. BUT NO! When I paid the $ 20 cover fee (WTF?!), I walked in, took a look, and wanted to walk out. Basically, it was a juke party! Remember those parties when you were a teen? No class at all. Half the people on the dance floor were juking and half were standing looking for action. LAME AS HELL! waste of money and time ON A SATURDAY NIGHT! Why I wanted a shower, you ask? The place looked dirty and felt dirty.

Anyone know this place turns into to a night club? BARF. Ok I went on Gay night, Thursday. Which is 18 and over… if that already isn’t a problem. They boast two rooms because its connected to Radio star, they also say OPEN BAR FROM 10:30 til 11:30. When I arrived it was about 10:15…THE DOORS WEREN’T OPEN!!! It’s supposed to open at 9 pm! I then saw a guy flag about 5 people let them in through another entrance when I asked if that was for the 21+ He RUDELY told me to get back into line. at 10:50 when they FINALLY let us in the barely 21 guys charging a cover don’t tell us that we need a bracelet to enter the drinking AREA… we walk all the way to the area to be rudely turned around by the DOUCHE security, when I tell the little boys at the front that they should mention anyone 21+ should get a bracelet. He defensively and rudely tells me «oh yah ok» When I finally make it to the «OPEN BAR» I watched several people get turned away by the same douche thats saying everyone needs a braclet. THEN after open bar the tell us Radio Star is closing and we all have to enter sangria. I walk ahead people are already dancing when I enter the 21+ area. A new douchebag of a bully bouncer tells me to get out of the area. MIND YOU you have to show your id here several times… Just keep it a teen night club. Its Effing Thursday I’m 25 and will prob drop $ 100+ on the bar so paying ten bucks to go party with some teenagers was bad decision making on my part. Let me share the love and say «WILD THURSDAYS» SUCKS!!! (can you curse on Unilocal?) if i could I would.

Rarely do I get a chance to hang out with my girls, sis, on a beautiful summer night with 18+… and it was dead! We managed a bit…

Came here on a Friday night. It sucks because I had high hopes for this place BUT as Chicago nightlife has a tendency to do… it let me down.
So I’m thinking that this place can’t have air conditioning because it got super hot, super quick. The drinks were weak. People were just standing around staring at each other. I hate when people act like they’re too cute to dance. Why did you pay to come out? To stare? I can sit on my couch and look out the window for FREE.
The worst part was the DJ. He kept talking on the microphone. Every five mins he was like «it’s your new favorite DJ, DJ (insert name here).» It’s sad because all that damn talking and I still don’t remember his name. That ought to tell ya something dude.

I attended Radiostar on a 18+ night. It was disgustingly hot, the second I walked in, literally, I could feel the moisture on my face. All they had were two huge fans blowing. The setup is unique but hard to walk around when it gets crowded. 18+ clubs usually are all the same music and people wise so I will not subject Radiostar to any of that. I doubt I will go back, honestly because the air was so disgusting.

I have to totally disagree with the former reviews. I attended «Awesome 80’s Prom” – which is a great way to spend your Saturday night with your dance happy girlfriends… (I was there for a bachelorette party), we stuck around after the show for dancing, all decked out in our 80’s gear. They played fun music and if you are with a big group there is no way your can’t have a good time at this place!

Girls, put your legwarmers on and guys roll up your sleeves cuz we are taking it back to the good olé days. For some reason, I love the 80’s but RadioStar doesn’t cut it. Maybe we hit a off night cuz the crowd (or the lack there of) was either really into the whole thing or just sitting around. I think the potential to have fun is there if you are going in a big group or if this place can get filled. This place in interesting but happily, I didn’t have to pay to get in. If you do plan on checking this place out, go to their website
and get the free tickets, then no cover or get on the list and you & a friend get in free.

This place was like going to a party in the basement of that kid no one wanted to hang out with in high school. And I am 99% sure they don’t have central air in his basement, although they are stocked with Bartels and James wine coolers. The best part about this place was the look of shock on peoples’ faces as they walked in — either they were horrified and they turned around and left immediately, or they were drunk beyond all logic and stayed to rock out to Footloose. You can rock out to Footloose anywhere in Chicago — don’t subject yourself to RadioStar!
