Betty's Blue Star Lounge
Prices
Average cocktail: $6.
Description
The black-on-black decor here is only interrupted by streaks of blue neon, a look so '80s that you'll expect RoboCop to walk in at any moment. Early in the night, local boozehounds have the place to themselves, but around 2am, the spillover from early-to-bed clubs squeezes in to sweat to hip-hop and house beats. The DJ calendar is anything-goes, but expect periodic house and techno marathons. The cover is usually low.
Hours
Mon–Fri noon–4am; Sat 6pm–5am; Sun 6pm–4am.

I used to go to Betty's years ago to see live music so when I saw an ad in The Chicago Reader that they had live bands on Thursdays I met up with a couple of friends and we went this past Thursday. 2 bands played from 9:45pm to about 12am (not a huge fan of the 2nd band, but the 1st band "Some Years Later" was really good). Great sounds, crowd was fun, played Bags in the beer garden with some fun random biker guys, and really had a good time.
