Manhole - Chicago

MANHOLE was a nightclub located in the space where HYDRATE currently operates that closed in 2002. MANHOLE was created to honor the spirit of the former club and provide a dance space for those who may feel that they do not fit into other dance club scenes. MANHOLE IS AT THE GATEWAY TO BOYSTOWN ALONG WITH THE DEN AT MANHOLE, A POOL AND DARTS BAR.

"Few Boystown spots have enjoyed as much thump in the night as the former Manhole, a late-night club with a low-key front room and a cruisy, dress-code-enforced back bar—a place where button-down boys let loose during its legendary blackout and underwear parties."
- J. Heidemann, Time Out Chicago
