Chicago's iconic LGBTQ+ nightlife district — dance, dine, and celebrate
Northalsted (Boystown) Party Bus Rentals in Chicago
Northalsted — still widely known as Boystown — is one of the most iconic LGBTQ+ neighborhoods in the country. Centered on Halsted Street between Belmont and Addison, it packs dozens of bars, clubs, and restaurants into a walkable strip. But 'walkable' in Chicago winter is a different story, and splitting your group across multiple venues means someone's always playing catch-up. A party bus keeps your entire crew together from the first cocktail to the last dance.
