Maybe refrain from having your disgusting employees having a power trip and thinking they can grab people to the point where they bruise them. I went out for my 21st birthday and was roughly grabbed by my arm and told by a dude that “he works here”. Cool, but maybe don’t touch me? How about an “excuse me” instead of hurting me? Maybe the employee was feeling threatened because he was so short and it was crowded in there, I don’t know, but that shouldn’t be happening.

bar feels like you're at a sleepover pretending with your friends about what it would like to go clubbing. the music is so girlypop and the drinks are so cheap. there have been a few creeps here and there but mostly sweet girls, gays, and theys and one of the only places in boystown that feels respectful of queer women / anyone that isn't a white gay man

Small bar with good music and enough place to dance. The bartender was a little prickly but served people quickly.

Watch out for your card info here yall…I had used 2 separate cards here and the very next day had fraudulent charges on those 2 exact cards. Mind you I used the cards on early Sunday afternoon at Scarlet (not a busy day at all) and the fraudulent charges came out the very next day? Seems suspicious. Only went from my hands to theirs, then back to me.

Fun place with good music that's open till late even on weekends! Although all the songs they played were Spanish 🙈 but we still enjoyed the vibe!

Went for the first time this past Sunday for Lady Gaga night, it was such a fun time to be around everyone who sang their heart out to all her hits. Never experienced anything like it so I really appreciate them doing those monthly. Only complaint I have is that one of the bathrooms didn’t lock so I accidentally walked in on someone… I felt so bad lol. Bartenders were really chill, music was great, drag queens looked so pretty, 10/10.

the security here is really nice and considerate. someone was completely drunk so they had to kick him out but were kind enough to help him wait outside until his uber got there bc he couldn’t stand. vibe inside is cool but the negative part is they only take card, no tap to pay or cash.

I went to Scarlet for the first time last night. Soon after leaving, I realized someone had stolen my wallet. My wallet was inside my purse which was zippered shut. I reported it to the bartender and left. About an hour later the bar called me and told me my wallet was turned in however it was completely empty. My drivers license, debit card, credit card, health insurance card, triple A card, car insurance, social security card, and $20 cash was gone. Someone completely cleared my wallet out. Very disappointing and sad. I will definitely not be returning.

First time here with friends for a party. This was a fun bar with a great atmosphere and the one DJ named I believe Cashera was outstanding! I need to follow this DJ. She had the energy going! I will for sure be back and especially if she is the DJ! The drinks were great also. My feet are killing me from jumping around all night and my poor head from drinks. Haha but we all had a great night!!!!

So fun; great music and great vibes! Can’t wait to come back!! Ryan killed it with the drinks and dancing 😉

I love Scarlett for the live viewings of Ru Paul’s Drag Race and for the “no-skip” album playthroughs they do on Friday nights. Best part is, there’s a killer deal on drinks that honestly baffles me every week. Don’t blow up my spot too hard though, I don’t want too much competish for good seats for the finale.

Fun bar with an open dance floor. The bar also very closely checked ID and vaccination cards which I fully welcome and appreciate. Inside the bar is pretty standard with well drinks, beers. I also greatly appreciate that there is a self service water station. The DJ played a mix of current top pop and millennial throw back hits.

Highly recommend. I forgot the DJ name but she a female she was playing all the hits from throwsback hip hop r&B gospel Disney she was playing everything I will definitely return it’s worth the wait in line . They charge $10 to get in and only accept cards no cash.

Favorite bar in boystown. Saturday night is the night to go. Cover is $10 Saturdays, which is more expensive than some of the other bars nearby and it can get really crowded. But they have the best music and vibes.

Very fun bar. They have a lot of drag shows and their Queens are the best! Yummy fruity drink options for those that are in to that and a fun high energy environment.

My least favorite gay bar. I find the gays to be pretentious and think they are better than you. Snobby and not a place I have ever had a good time.

I like the concept i think its cool how they have like theme nights for each artist. But honestly i don’t think the staff cared about the capacity it was so packed my friends and i could barley move.

bryce is the best dj of all time…if dj bryce fersher has a million fans i am one of them. if dj bryce fersher has one fan it is me. if dj bryce fersher has no fans I am dead! ! !

I went right before the pandemic for a friend's drag show. Drink specials were awesome. Very fun music selection. Great for dancing!

Was there for Bad Bunny's new album listening party and let me tell you the amount of FUN I had being able to vibe and listen to bad bunny and other latino artists with my fellow latino people in the same room was impecable!! Scarlet definitely needs to have more latino nights just like this! The energy is amazing. Please more Latino nights!!

Very fun and inviting looking inside, pretty good vibes BUT the bartender we had wasn't very friendly, seemed like she'd rather not be there. Not welcoming. And didn't tell me prices of our drinks . So I wasn't sure at first if the drinks were as much as what I gave her, if she just kept some as a tip or what . Would def of given more stars if she was in a better mood, just hope it was a bad day n that she's not like that all the time

Amazing experience! They have COVID-19 protocols that made me feel comfortable and helped me enjoy the night even more. Great music and very friendly staff. It’s a very inclusive establishment with gender neutral restrooms. Make sure to read the signs as one is private and one is not! Accidentally kept someone from using it assuming they were both private. I will definitely be coming again next time I visit Chicago!

If I could give this place a thousand stars I would! I love the themed nights! I’ve been to Selena and Beyoncé nights a couple of times. The music is awesome, the cover cheap! It is a little small. If you like to dance this is the place for you! Love the diversity as well!

Best atmosphere in all of Boystown. The cover is affordable, and they have a coatcheck as well (super convenient!). You HAVE to go when DJ Ca$sh Era is playing; she's the best!

THEY WILL STEAL YOUR PHONE RIght out of your purse or pocket. So much so that the staff will say, "YOU TOO?" when you tell them your phone got stolen. PROTECT YOUR PHONE Like if you are not holding it in your hand the entire time YOUR PHONE WILL BE STOLEN

best bar in all of chicago! always have such a nice time coming here, always feel safe and welcome. pls pls do another selena night! ❤️

This place is a vibe! The only bar I go to when I visit Chicago. Went this past Friday, after 2 years and was not disappointed. The music. The people. The drinks. Line was down the block Friday and Saturday night. Get in early!

Such a fun and safe place! The covid protocols made me feel comfortable and at ease. Gender neutral bathrooms.There was a good mix of music (even some in Spanish). The staff was pleasant. As an out of towner, I recommend Scarlet!

Always a go-to. Also, shout out to all of the servers. I see them all the time, all are super great and kind people!!

Went to a drag night. They needed a better way to order drinks during the show.

I have came to this bar for years. I ordered a vodka sprite and a shot. I came back with the drink which was a vodka soda which was full. I was told by the bartender Eric that I did not tip so I will not get another drink which I did not care for. Then he saw my friend next to me and said oh your friend tipped so I’ll remake it. This is disgusting behavior from a bartender on my birthday and I clearly tipped. I will post the 16 dollar receipt where I tipped 2 dollars which will be an 18 dollar charge to my bank. He also recharged me for the drink he had his buds boy change Bc the sprite was out. I did not care about the money or anything but to be told I did not tip (when I did) that I will not be served is disgusting and this individual should not work in this industry I have 5 plus years in serving and bartending and nothing has ever been more disgusting.

This place was litty! Went on a Friday night during Beyoncé night. The vibe was amazing and the drinks are strong

I arrived about an hour before closing and there was a long line so I assumed I wouldn't get in. But security was quick and efficient. Everyone in line was able to enter. I always love Scarlet's vibe. Everyone is carefree and there to have fun. Nothing more nothing less.

small bar with limited space but it was a lot of fun and the drinks were good. came from out of state and enjoyed my night out

Fuego night was so much fun! The vibes were just right and Jesus was the nicest and most friendly bouncer! The energy when greeted at the door...emaculate! WE LOVE JESUS!!

INCREDIBLE little venue - perfect spot to go with friends or even alone. feels safe while still being fun!!
