Belvedere's is our go-to place for dancing! This bar has apparently gone through a face lift (I had not seen it prior) and has made some improvements. The vibe is more divey without being a tiny, smoke filled bar. They have two different bars and a TON of space to hang out. The seating is definitely limited, but we don't go to sit ;)
DJs on any given night are playing awesome music and frequently they have theme nights: 80s, 90s, 2000s music, etc. There is a large dance floor that doesn't ever feel like a swimming pool of people. I've never felt crowded or like I was being sought out with unwanted advances from others. There is also a separate area with pool tables and a cash-only bar. The staff here have always been easy to work with and I've never had any issues with them. Drinks are reasonably priced and there is a coat check for when it's freezing outside. If you enjoy dancing but don't want the South Side club scene, definitely check this place out!
