Your friend is getting married or may be he just turned 21 and you’re looking for a good place in Chicago to see naked women without having to first buy them drinks. You’ve probably also heard the troubles with going to a strip club in Chicago. Expensive, not many choices, not fully nude, or no alcohol. Air dancing all around.  But there is hope and it’s in the suburbs especially the south suburbs.
We’re talking Harvey near Markham and Hammond, Indiana.
In Hammond you’ll find the Industrial Strip, 3626 S Calumet Ave, Hammond, IN 46320. This place is meant to be a regional strip club destination and is probably the best strip club in Chicagoland, and they have the votes to back it up. They have two tiers of reasonably priced VIP rooms, where the dances are fully nude. The dances are a step above what you’ll find elsewhere in Illinois. And if for some reason you aren’t happy, nearby you’ll find Déjà Vu Hammond (3850 179th St, Hammond, IN 46323), where alcohol is served which means this Vu is topless, not fully nude. Also nearby are Our Dolls (7925 Nevada Ave, Hammond, IN 46323 ) and Wiggles (2136 E Summer St, Hammond, IN 46320 ).
In Harvey you’ll find two other great strip clubs in the Chicago area, Club O (17038 Halsted St, Harvey, IL 60426 ) and Skybox (16700 Halsted St, Harvey, IL 60426), across street from each other. Club O is the pricier option but the girls are top-notch. Dances will run you $30 so if you’re a bit short on cash head over to Skybox or dances are $20 and the girls are also as good or nearly as good. You’ll also find deals on certain nights of the week there, like free beer and pizza.
A runner up would be Silver Slipper Saloon (3042 SR-71, Ottawa, IL 61350) in Ottawa which is pretty far west of the places I just listed but may well be worth the drive. You’ll want to drive if you go to any of these.
If you choose to stay within the city limits of Chicago know that Scarlett’s (750 S Clinton St, Chicago, IL 60607 ) southwest of the Loop has some decent girls but it’s way overpriced and on any given night the place may be empty which doesn’t mean necessarily that the girls will pay you more attention. The best club in the city would be the Admiral Theater (3940 W Lawrence Ave, Chicago, IL 60625), and all-around good strip club but with all the same Chicago limitations. Avoid the Crazy Horse Too.
