Le Nocturne

A relatively new addition to Chicago nightlife scene, Le Nocturne channels the more casual vibes of a French nightclub, complete with a relaxed "come as you are" dress code. Residents include prominent Chicago house DJs like Ron Carrol and Paul Johnson, exemplifying the club's reverence for homegrown talent. Inside, you'll find a dance floor flanked by 25,000 European audio system and an array of nearly 100 pieces of intelligent lighting that move and shift colors in response to whatever is spinning. And if you need a break from the beats, there's a small sidewalk patio where you can refuel before returning to the crowd inside.
