I will never go back to Debonair. They have a $20 dollar minimum on credit cards, which isnt a big deal. But they take your ID with your credit card to start a tab, which I thought was strange to begin with. I ended leaving the bar without closing my tab, realized in the cab what I did and decided to go back next day to get it. They open at 10pm during the week so I couldnt get there for about 3 days. I check my credit card statement and they charged me $40. Although I did not spend the full $20 minimum. Nice 100% tip for the bartenders. When I go back to Debonair they tell me they dont have my ID OR credit card. But they were able to charge my card without a signature. Its one thing to take a credit card, but its absolutely ridiculous to take an ID for a tab when you are not competent to safely secure it. That will be the last time I ever walk into this establishment. I am a 31 year old professional whose lived in the city for 6 years and I have never experience such incompetence when securing peoples personal information before. BEWARE!!

This place has a nice athstetic but I found several of the staff there rude for no real reason. The "Sound Guy" leaves much to be desired as he was not also arrogant, talentless and rude but Im sure he wont get very far in life with that trifecta of ignorance. The one important thing is BANDS and any other patron in the music industry beware of this place as they will skip out and not pay the acts along with treating them like crap while the hack of a sound guy will make make your singer sound like they are coming out of a tin can. In the end all I can do is recommend the owner of this establishment to get ride of the hack sound guy and get a new one and to also explain to your staff the ethics of treating customers like real human beings. Lets be real here and understand it is the PEOPLE who pay your bills and keep your business afloat and not the other way around.

Dont bother going to the Wednesday burlesque. All the information on line is wrong. Doors open at 10pm when everything onling besides their Facebook says 9pm. I also found out from the bartender that the burlesque only happens on the first of every month. There isnt anything online that mentioned this. Im sitting here at 11:15pm and there is a total of 8 people here. On top of all that, there isnt anything on draft. The can selection is simple and basic. First time coming here and will definitely be the last. Update: its 11:40pm and the burlesque has still yet to start. Honestly, its sad. Even with the loud music the energy is so low. At this point in not sure the show will ever start. Management needs to promote this night so much better.

went to this place for my friends 21st. a little on the pricey side -25$ wristband gets you beer and well drinks for most of the night, 3$ coatcheck that doesnt check bags, so really, might as well keep it all near you at a booth. it was a saturday night and relatively busy, you better be real cute or real pushy if you want the bartenders attention anytime soon. if you go with a good group of friends it can be a poppin place, just please please please, make sure to watch your drinks. somebody roofied two of my friends, which really killed the night. informed debonair that this happened so hopefully they can also keep an eye out.

Went to this place for my Dirty Thirty! OMG, it was just my girlfriends and I. We went insane! It was about ten hot babes to one dude, but that is the way we like it LOL. The dance floor was on fire and there was all these super cool funny guys that were dancing on the blocks. We even got invited to a post dance party at some former dry cleaners. Soooo much fun! I would recommend going to a CVS, hanging out by the birthday cards for people turning 30, find out who they are buying the card for, and take that dirty thirty year old to Debonair Social Club Tonight!

Debonairs is pretty hypster and awesome all around. there is two levels and both are amazingly great in their own way. the basement is awesome to get lost in and dance and meet new people. Upstairs there is enough room to move around and get lost either on stage or on the ledge by the big screen! The energy is very high there and everyone is always dancing and moving around. There are even events, such as burlesque events that happen every once in a while that are perfect for a chill night out with a little bit of extra fun.

Never been to this place before. I was with a friend and walked by looking for a place to dance. Bouncer noticed that we were curious about the place and let us in without a cover to experience the club. The DJ upstairs was phenomenal. He played hip hop, electronic, and some pop sprinkled in the mix. I danced for three hours straight. The staff handed us water bottles, and made sure we had a great time. I highly recommend this club as an alternative to the trendier Chicago spots.

Ive really only been here on monday Rehab nights. Which are always fun, some mondays are more poppin then others (guest DJ nights, Lolla announcement party), but some times you gotta make that monday pop if no one else will. You gotta start the party and youll be the belle of the ball. Havent really been on other nights but Mondays you can expect a hipster-ish crowd, with some bros and suburbanite hipsters mixed in.

Average night club with live music. Downstairs area turns into a dance club with DJ. Drinks are not that great and bartenders will cheat you out of your change if you are not careful. They change prices on the fly to see what they can get away with. Go somewhere if you want better drinks, better music, and to not be ripped off by your server.

In my opinion, Debonair is the top late night dance spot in the whole city! Excellent DJs, the red wall on the dance floor, and the sweet smell of shots being poured create the perfect sensory party. Drink prices are reasonable and there is a downstairs if it feels too crowded upstairs. Expect to sweat on the dance floor!

This was my favorite spot to party for years until I stopped coming out. The place plays retro music, has great deals on drinks, thats enough already right? The decor is very retro, almost 70s 80s style give or take. The drinks are cheap, and the people are good. Check it out if your in the Wicker Area.

Words cant really describe my bizarre, manic love for this place. The music hits all of the right spots. Great place to go dance like an idiot without worrying about what you look like. Really fun place for a girls night, or just any night when youve had a long week and need to bust some moves.

Decent club for the neighborhood. Basic lightwalls and cube risers that they let guys dance on too... (Was shocked they allowed that) Poor M/F Ratio. Downstairs was pretty empty dominated by a bunch of older punk/emo folks. Weird... This place really should have a dress code though.
