Night life in Chicago west loop | full 4K walking tour 

Absolutely my main goal on this channel is defiantly is to show people the good side of Chicago and how amazing it could be

For this video I used iPhone 15 pro max at 4K with 60mgz

​@@RideWalkhow is it mounted on you?

West loop 🙃

Ha? What does that even mean?

​@@RideWalk At some point, i've noticed a grey parked car & i was surprised to see that the brand (front badge) looked eerily Australian, namely Holden...I might be right just like i might be wrong too ! a quick google search gave me this "They never officially came to America, and even unofficially, they're incredibly rare." this dates from 20 Feb 2020 !

@@testarosa5365 ah I see! I’ve never really heard about them before but I’ll definitely do my research

Us Chicagoans love people from Texas! Ya'll some of the coolest people I met!

You’re always welcomed in Chicago and we love people from Texas

I'm from Chicago and visited Dallas last year for the first time. I couldn't believe how dead downtown Dallas was and how few people were walking around

@Clementinee yep..dallas downtown have nothing special..no to much to see .comparing with. Chicago I was like wow..this is another level.even the ppl in Chicago looks very different can wait to comeback again

Are u fu€kn high. This place sucks azz compared to dallas. Im a life long chicagoan and i went to dallas and didnt want to leave. Dallas was the SH!T. But im betting you are the boujee type, and if so maybe you did find the appeal here, but i scrape the streets for the heat, and Dallas streets were lit as FU€k and not once did i feel in constant danger like here

Salute DJP. You right on the dot. I'm a young cat but since 2020 I seen so much changes in the nightlife scene. For the nightlife the city is changing for the worst & a lot of the events at the clubs are private or invite-only.

I partially agree with but I think Chicago in the summer is a vibrant city and there’re a lot of concerts and stuff to do. So till you can enjoy the nightlife in the city

As a southern California native... Who's 44 y/o. .. who spent a cool decade and a half invested in the nightlife over here I gotta say, I HARDLY SAW, what I would consider a full on group of attractive women... It's crazy cuz after having had my time and experiences over here and kinda putting them to rest I've always had a healthy curiosity about what other popular cities/states nightlife looks like.. and I gotta be honest ...I haven't seen too many that RIVAL OURS here in southern California.. outside of maybe texas and Miami. The Midwest and east coast ....who I have tons of respect and admiration for... musically at least. HAVE A CRAP NIGHTLIGHT SCENE from what I've seen. And the level of attractive women who frequent the club scene ARE BOO BOOOOOOOOOO. (aka terrible) 🤷🏻‍♂️👎🏼👎🏼

There’s a reason why those clubs closed… and you know the reason why

AhhHaha what!!! Why ?

From Chicago myself and lived in New York City 3 years. I love New York! Reminded me of a bigger and more energetic Chicago! 😅

Thank you so much I’m glad that you liked the video

Yea I feel I’m living those days rn and I’m having so much fun. Would be great if you can recommend some spots

Harlem and Grand. Or maybe Belmont and Cumberland. Or maybe you prefer White Castle at Belmont and Harlem.

@@marblox9300 yup. The white castle. Was on the s. W. Corner

@@JohnQPublic345 It's still there right.???

You lived a good life then.

What do you mean ? You saw me when I filmed that video ? And yea west loop is the hot spot nowadays

@@RideWalk I didn't see you as you filmed the video. I meant -- I see where you were at while I was just watching the video! West Loop has a whole lot of relatively new development, especially over by Fulton Street Market and that Google building. I don't think that AC Hotel survived, though. AC Hotel may have been another victim of the pandemic. AC Hotel did have a pretty cool rooftop bar, but I read somewhere that the place got sold and will now have a new concept.

Ha! Interesting!! How different the outfit in Logan ?

I’m glad that you liked it. And I love west loop 😍

Hahahahha true

and they're all feminist RIP

​@@EMG81xTHRASHERyup cringe overload, now onto cebu nightlife 🎉

I think it is a pretty fun vibes and if you were to get into the bars and stuff you would find it amazing

What are those ? Bars ?

@@RideWalk Around the time the Bulls were winning championships, this were nightclubs with the long lines. In other words, a mid 90’s thing.

Eddie rockets and Mothers

@@TheMarkiemark199HAHAHA! Yes, I’m not the only old guy in here. I remember that place as well. 😀

I remember

West loop is becoming more and more popular. I love wriglyville tho. You can check out the video I made in wriglyville is awesome ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SstWpBrtHDk.htmlsi=mButprqMYOQ2D6mk

I was a kid when I was around Chicago, so I didn't know the nightlife. I always thought Wicker Park was the ghetto because of how trashy the buildings looked around Damen station when I rode the L to downtown. Only recently I found out and I'm like, people decided to gentrify that dump?

I’ll tell you that …. You will have so much fun!

That’s kinda true but also there is night life in west loop

Hahaha who doesn’t!! lol They’re something

wtf is wrong with you

Glad you enjoyed it

Here we go!!!!! We got some locals who really know the city and appreciate it Total agree with you 👌 Chicago is awesome 🤩

Hahahaha 😂😂

Ah okay! Thanks for sharing that with us

@@RideWalk your video let me experience my roots just a bit . Thanks

I’m glad for that 🤩

ive ate there.... waaaay back

@@JohnQPublic345 no way bro . Please tell me stories. Was it good??

Because this is a city in America, and foreigners generally have a chip on their shoulder/resentment complex vis a vis America.

@@decrox13 HA!! What are you even talking about

Yea the area have changed alot

Right!!!!! Bro that place is fire 🔥 ❤️🔥

@@RideWalk Au Cheval is so fire. Just can’t believe I’ve waited more than 2 hours twice here before lol.

That late night man, you gotta wait to fill up your belly lol

I did not delete any comment, I don’t know what are you talking about

@@RideWalk I was just chatting Ian going to flag yo vid bro I ain't no hater

YT auto deletes comments for no reason. Sometimes i'll go weeks and anything i comment gets the boot.

Ha! That’s really interesting! I haven’t visited Florida before but hopefully I’ll go this year

For sure 😁 Thank you for tuning in

Definitely! West loop is one of the best areas in the city

Glad you enjoyed Will keep dropping all kind of cool stuff

Appreciate it brother Thank you for tuning in

Hahahaah interesting! Yea I know durning the day it’s pretty calm and not much going on. But in the evening it changes

Thank you!!! I appreciate that Good luck for you too! Again I really appreciate your support

Yea you are right, at night a lot collage students hangout there

Ah okay I see

I’m glad that you liked the video! Yea for sure I’ll try to do that on my next video so that people get more familiar with the area and the bars names

Oh really!! What section is that ? I’ll tell if it’s right or wrong

Depends on what their goal is, most dudes I’m sure is to get lucky lol or it could be not to blackout by the end of the end, or to find someone special, or not end up getting robbed, or to do drugs… mine 20 years ago was definitely to get laid, 17-24 was definitely fun

I mean as all guys who go out partying their main goal is yo get luck

According to statistics, most people don’t look for dates like how it was in the 20th century. It’s now mostly on dating apps.

The point imo as a 25 yr old woman is mostly to socialize w your friends & randos & dance to some music that makes you move

I’m glad that you liked the video

I bet that you have alot of fun every time you go

ive been there back when they opened (i think late 90s). girls were phenomenal. im from chicago

Thanks for sharing

@@RideWalk Sure

So is that your fav scene! ?

I hope that I can help bro lol

@@RideWalk I was born and raised in Chicago, but I've been living in Las Vegas for 16 years. Videos like yours help me out a lot mentally, especially due to me being severely homesick. Good work brother. 🥃

What are those

Oh really!!! Where do you live now that’s not dump ? 🤔🙃

@RideWalk ya, it's not even an argument. I'm an OTR trucker. I live in Arizona, IL, and Florida. AZ and Florida are 10x better than IL.

If you’re asking me I’m from Chicago

Ahahahahah 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I think you’re just a little bit crazy lol

There are these things called trends, and people dress to conform with them, at a certain average.

Bro! I honestly don’t know what are you trying to say

@@Virtus555 No they do not, take a look at Manchester, London, Liverpool etc. late night street videos. Far fewer women showing a lot of skin in the US.

Actually I totally agree with I feel women in the US cover up more when parting compared to women in Europe. If you go to Europe, you really could see the difference

No they don’t really dress the same, you gotta go to Europe and see it yourself

@@RideWalk Britain is not exactly Europe, it is more like the USA. If you find yourself on a lively evening in continental Europe, France, or Austria, the style of dress will be very different from the US/UK

not all women dress the same in the us

No, goofy. Read the title 😂

😂😅😅😅

O’block!!! Come on dude🤣🤣🤣

LMAOOOO

Come one! 🙄

There was just a stabbing inside city winery!!

I guess everyone city has its own vibe

This is a street full of restaurants my dude. Why he filmed here for “night life” i son’t know when there are hundreds of other neighborhoods and spots to choose from, including Fulton Market which is like 2 blocks from where he filmed.

You visited in a really bad time I guess I recommend you to come in the summer June-August. You’ll definitely enjoy it

Seems far from extreme from all the walking videos I watched. These are in and around downtown and but for them few who sit on the ground holding a sign in english. I see little where visitors and tourist go. There was a period the city had a lot held in lobbies over winter of Police stations. This is not some distant suburb. This is a major city and they always had all aspects of society in every era. It was only a couple decades ago virtually all you see in this video was empty former industrial buildings as this was warehousing and the Meat-Packing District. Now it is a very vibrant neighborhood right next to the Loop. North of the River also renewed and Covid was far from kind.... still most and more back, retail will be the hardest. Still Chicago is lucky to have had a LOT of retail in its core region so what it lost from WFH and Covid shutdowns.... it has plenty still there even those larger department stores on the Mag Mile and boutique high-end smaller ones its side streets like Oak and Rush Streets. I actually never hear someone in those great areas of Chicago and core regions, the lakefront and areas that did not decline from white-flight and lost industry, redlining and blockbusting. They all look great to good of every era it grew. New feeds concentrate for political gain and division on those areas a visitor would have no reason to go. The city also gets points for on of the cleanest American large cities without that sterile effect some get and heat to keep one off streets.

Stop exaggerating! 😡😡 Where are you from? A N.I.M.B.Y. town?

@@JdeC1994 literally the opposite, you want me to pretend I didn't see this

@@jeycalc6877 Dude, I live in Chicago. We don't have "floods of illegals everywhere." 🙄🙄 Stop being such an uptight priss! 🙄🙄

Man!! No!! No one got robbed. I know that Chicago is a bit tricky and can be dangerous but still if you know where to go you can be just fine. I mean where in the states you could go where it’s very safe ?

@@A-Wesker-5 true 👌

The crime digs are late please come up with some new material already

@@A-Wesker-5 Creating HATE Of our cities is a new American way especially for rural American and so sad. That is what separates us from the rest of the world. More and more self-hate with on hand and flag waving with the other that is really our past.... when the world reveres its cities, restores and upgrades them as a core national value of importance rather than just move to a new region and bleed one that made this nation before corporate American wanted cheaper labor, no unions and even overseas the took our TRUE Middle-class jobs that built these cities.

Did this video take place in New York?

Always welcome 🤗

I mean yea in this video there were a very high percentage of white people even through Chicago is pretty diverse city but to be honest I do see a bit of segregation in the city where every different race has their own spot in the city. However, you still can see people from every race coming out together and parting

@@RideWalk You can see the results of a long and dark history of segregation in Chicago wherever you go. Case in point: I doubt I’ll see a walking video in Chicago’s south side any time soon from this channel. I live here and it’s just typical Midwest segregation, but noticeably amplified in a big city setting. Thanks for these videos.

@@MyNameJim Yes, the city is segregated and for good reasons, but a lot of the predominantly white areas do have a lot of other races there. This is just a walking video, you don't see who's in every bar, the restaurant and so who's in the apartments.

Man the whole country is segregated too compared to the Uk where every race in the cities are multicultural and some parts in Latin America like Colombia, Brazil and Puerto Rico.

What does that even mean ?

Idk why everyone saying. I get it Chicago does not have the best nightlife in the world but still there are some cool stuff and you can enjoy the nightlife here. If I may ask what is the big difference between Chicago and Southern California when it comes to nightlife ?

@@RideWalk the difference is that they bars closed in 2am😂

NOW they do, but back in the 70s, 80s, and early 90s- different scene all together

I bet that you haven’t watch the full video

It’s Chicago, there are non lol. The Midwest in general is a sorry place when it comes to attractive people. Try Arizona, New York, Florida, California.

@@oluwaseyeakinbola7602 Bro you gotta be on shit. I've been to many places in the eastern half of the US at least, and Illinois is the best of the midwest when it comes to women. I hate it for many other reasons, but that aint' it.

I know, the night life in those places you’ve mentioned is usually crazier and the parties usually bigger! The point of this video to show people what they can expect when visiting Chicago and it’s also for internment for people that couldn’t afford to travel

Passport bros 🎉 let them have each other 😂

Umm…

@@RideWalk tampa Florida a city 1/10th the size has multiple times as many people as that in a typical weekend. I can’t help but feel disappointed by this sorry.

@@jaywizz7008 I totally understand, tampa and Florida in general is a major hub for nightlife and tourism and that’s why I’d imagine clubs and bars are more packed than here. However I’ll be going to Florida soon to capture the beaches and the night life. So stay tuned

Dude, Chicago's entire nightlife isn't in just this one spot. 🙄🙄 Is Tampa's nightlife just as spread out? Also, it's not as if we have the same weather, riiiight? 🙄🙄 "tampa Florida a city 1/10th the size" Last I checked, Chicago's population is 6.6-times bigger, not TEN-TIMES bigger. 🙄🙄 What else are you inaccurate about? 🤔🤨 What stadium is more "lame" than Tropicana Field? 🙄🙄

@@JdeC1994 everyone is old. The clubs are all boring and have no character. And yeah exactly it’s all spread out and not walkable. The whole city doesn’t have a single goth club. 6.5x the size and can’t even have something that basic?? Or any sort of club that’s not some boring trash. And everyone is old AF EVERYWHERE u go on a night life. 1/10, it’s really that bad.

Why is this 🤨

Come on man! I hate are you talking about!

@@RideWalk Harsh reality my friend. If you think for a second they aren't, then you're mistaken. It is what it is 🤝🏾

And know that I say this with all due respect you have an awesome channel in fact I'll subscribe to it so please don't take it as an attack because it definitely isn't is just a sad reality

Actually I disagree with you! I think the city is busy all the time and there a lot of different night life places. Still it’s not the best city for night life but also it’s not a ghost town

Not even close to being true. Stop just saying things like they’re facts.

Lol... bro needs to get out more.

No. The entire downtown and North Side are bustling

@@hyemuhyemu8221 that’s what I’m saying

What! What is it then 🤔

You’re just being silly

Hahahahha 😂😂 that’s kinda funny!! But can you elaborate? Why do you think that Chicago sucks ?

Ur wrong! U ain't hanging out in da right places my friend

@@MiloMilo-z7t I don't want to hangout in the right places in Chicago because they are all wrong. Too much crime. I prefer southeast Asia.

@@rak6437you proudly admit it? 🤣 Southeast Asia? You are a 🤡 🤣

​@rak6437 yessir finally someone with taste im stuck here for a couple years but boy oh do I got a plan 🎉

I’ll check out Austin soon and see what it is all about

@@RideWalk be careful on 6th. Constant drama. Laws are deep. That doesn't stop the fights.

We don't want that. Summer comes once a year. We appreciate our good weather days

Oh come on dude!

Ha! What is that exactly

Neither have you

​@@RideWalkignore it bro. She's a bitter Houstonian.

@@truthseeker6925 hahaha I guess you’re right

Its either Nyc or Chicago. And has been that way since the start of the nation. Every other city are not real cities

Cringe boomer comment

Ummm!! I’m trying to understand what are you referring to! Can you explain

@@RideWalk Ummm!! I guess you're not aware of the daily shootings happening there. Take your blinders off.

Coming from your mother’s basement covered in cheeto dust.

Clearly you have never been to the city but I'm sure you are too much of a coward to come keyboard warrior

Maybe if you’ve ever been outside you would realize it smells a lot better than the urine infested room you spend your life in

What smell!! 🤨

Fish & chips!!😂😂

sewage and marijuana

Smells like nice perfume and good food

Chicago is beautiful

I've been to San Diego I'm from the Chi-burbs but I'm sorry yall San Diego can't compare to my city 😭

@chinopopapill5848 Oh i wouldn't say that... There is a lot A lot of good things we have here that chicago doesn't.

Hahahah bro! I think you’re trippin 😅
