Studio Paris Nightclub

This place is a JOKE. Sorry Hun, this isn’t Vegas. Get over it. I’ve been here on two occasions. Both times were a joke. First occasion I walked up with a girlfriend about 10pm, no line. The bouncers were rude, crude and insisted we needed a table. Really? We just wanted to have a drink. Get outta here. We got annoyed and were about to leave and he then changed his mind. We walked in, there was a total of 15 people in the place, music was lame and servers seemed stuck up. We had ONE drink and left.
Second occasion, walked up with a male friend, and again. (You need to have a table to come in) There is NO LINE! Luckily my buddy likes to spend stupid money so he agreed to buy a bottle and table.
we came in. Ordered a $ 500 bottle of champagne and still had shitty service, we ordered a second bottle of champagne and again the «host» girls were more interested in entertaining the guys with the cheap 100 bottles of vodka. Come on. We spent $ 1300 on alcohol for two people and this is how we get treated. We could barely get their attention, we ordered shots and they never came yet try tried to charge us for them. Sheeeesh. We finished up and left.
I just moved here from Scottsdale. I’ve worked in the industry. These girls are idiots. Take care of the customer that are spending more and don’t look like douche bags that are blowing their rent. Word of advice is all.

Love this place! Love the music ! Love the crowd and enjoyed the ceiling being glass so you look up and see high rises and the stars! Need some more bar areas other than that had a great time!

Like any club in River North, Studio Paris is pretentious, ostentatious, and overly formal when it comes to its entrance procedures. However, if you just accept all of this, you’re going to have a great time here. I have been a few times at Studio Paris with a few different groups of friends and always end up dancing my face off to great music and having a fabulous time. It’s usually a good crowd and always entertaining for people watching. The line will always be ridiculous, no matter what. So plan on waiting on know someone who can get you in without waiting. Once you get the door, the cover is ludicrous, so again, it helps to know someone. When you finally get inside, it’s a fun scene and the music is really fun (at least for my dancing feet!). Getting a table here is a good idea if you have a large group but it’s not necessary as there is ample space to mingle, etc without one. On a night where there is a well known DJ playing, you should definitely plan on getting a table as it can be annoyingly crowded.

What a joke this place is. I came here with a group of 10 girls for a bachelorette party on a Thursday night. There was no line, but when we walked up to the door the bouncer rudely stated, «You can all come in except for her.» He pointed to one girl in our group. I asked what the problem was and he said, «She’s drunk.» Here’s the funny part. We were all having a great time, having just come from Howl at the Moon and a couple of buckets and shots in. However, none of us were drunk and if we had been, why was she also coincidentally the least skinny girl in our group? I asked to speak with a manager and the rudest man comes over and just starts waving at me like «buh bye!» and yelling at me to «go ahead and email management.» Rather than try to get our group into this discriminatory hell hole and embarrass our friend further, we took our money down the street to Rockit and ended the night in a place that deserved and welcomed our patronage.
Studio Paris and Lettuce Entertain You, you can go f#%* yourselves.

This place is so overrated. My second time getting a table here and my second time being disappointed. Last night, I looked over to the table next to us and saw them smoking (yes, real cigarettes). Last time I checked that was banned in 2008. I told the bouncer and he said «it’s out of our hands.» I tried to deal and decided to confront him again once my asthma started kicking in, I asked «How much are they paying you to smoke in here? Should I call the cops?» And suddenly the GM came over to apologize, said they would tell them to stop and move them to another table. They did none of the above and they continued to smoke throughout the night. Don’t subject me to second hand smoke, Studio Paris. Done visiting your club.

We were visiting Chicago from New York and decided to check out the nightlife after a late dinner, we went to Studio Paris and the experience was unpleasant to say the least. We are two well educated (both ivy league), well spoken, put together individuals but were greeted no better than than potential hoodrats. As much as I hate to think this way, I can only interpret this as a race issue (we being Black and Latino), we saw numerous trashy, classless, unattractive people have no problem getting in free of charge whilst we were being charged an inflated cover and the bouncer addressed us in an unwelcoming tone. Minorities beware, sad that in 2015 I have to write such a review but such is life.

Came here for a buddy’s birthday. It’s a pretty average nightclub, and there is not really THAT much room so I am really glad we got bottle service.
Don’t expect it to compare to the huge productions in Vegas or miami, but they still get decent performances. I can’t say much for service, but our bottle service was polite and helpful. It probably helped that the table minimum was $ 1500.
The crowd is mostly middle-​aged banker type guys and bottlerats a bit past their prime. I sound judgy because you come here to be judged. We had fun, and I’m glad we did it, but if you don’t like being surrounded by uptight chads and trixies, avoid Studio Paris.

Awesome Club! Fantastic staff at the door. My girlfriend and I were able to get in without reservations without a problem and danced the night away to DJ? uestlove.
It was a really great experience I would recommend this club to anyone.
The only reason I don’t give it 5stars was one way to aggressive a**hole security guy. He was some short cropped haircut white guy go the left of the stage and he was just a total a**hole. He kept yelling at my girlfriend and I for dancing on the dance floor!?! They’ve got a small dance floor and this guy was way to aggressive. My girlfriend even wanted to punch him in the mouth. He was rude, would point his flashlight in your eyes and make threatening statements. Total a**hole. I could see where he’ll end up causing them more trouble one of these days.

Discrimination.
I wish I could give this venue less than a one star review. Straight to the point, we were a bachlorette party on our 2^nd stop of the night. Arriving fairly early at 10 PM, our group was allowed in one by one. As we each made or way up to a less than half filled club, we reconvened only to realize one of our girls was not allowed in.
First they claimed her flip flops did not meet the dress code. I understand, places like this have dress codes to uphold an image. The problem here was 1. She wasn’t wearing flip flops and 2. Those of us that made it in noticed a man in sneakers and a homemade sleeveless tshirt.
When we addressed this with the bouncer, he quickly changed his story, stating our friend was so drunk that she was stumbling. Our friend was completely sober.
This was when we realized that they were simply discriminating against our friend, not allowing her entrance solely based off her looks, and when I say looks, I’m keeping it general as it could have been her race, physical appearance, religion, or combination of these elements.
We all immediately left and asked for a refund of our cover. They complied because they all clearly knew what they were doing was wrong.
Disgusting. Shameful. Paris Club, you could do better.

Went on a Wednesday night and by 12 it was packed. Decent music and nice ambience with decent drink prices ($ 13 per red bull vodka) .
Only reason it wasn’t a full five stars is due to the guys there are waaaaaay to persistent. Lots of tourists from Miami, Boston, and other other cities (all searches I did rated this place high)… Tourist guys just looking to hook up. Don’t appreciate the ass grabbing guys. Really. Not cute
Other than that would have loved to check this place out on the weekend.

Not sure if its the club I like or the fact that 1) DJ VICE was there and 2) the NHL World Champion Chicago Blackhawks was there with the Stanley Cup. The dance floor is small, this spot seems to have split their space ½ dance floor and the other ½ bottle service. Be aware that if you choose to dance by a table, the security guards are super rough and will shove you onto the dance floor. The drinks are reasonably priced. The lighting/​light show is pretty on point, the sounds are clear and the ceilings are high. It wasn’t too hot because A/​C was generously blasting. I would go here again.
I am not sure how much entrance is because I likely was able to get in for free but some of my guy friends purchased pre-​show tickets for $ 25 and I believe it was $ 15 pre-​show for girls.

I went to this club last night honestly it was a good experience. The DJ was pretty cool bartenders were helpful. I highly recommended to visit this spot.
But I’m wondering which day is the best to go there, and if there is any nightclub you recommend to go.

Had a fun time there and is a good spot in a central location with good music, however, comparing it to other clubs in NYC (Boom Boom, No. 8, Avenue, Marquee, 1Oak, etc), Vegas (Hakkasan, Marquee, etc), Miami (Liv, Basement, etc) and Verbier (Farm Club), it doesn’t. Maybe for Chicago, it would be 4 or 5-​stars, but I have other places as my baseline to compare it to.

One of my favorite nightclubs in Chicago. Studio Paris is the the only club in Chicago that is firing on all cylinders at all times. They take careful selection into their music and bring in the highest quality djs. Their staff residents play very well and they bring in amazing guests throughout the week including acts such as Lil Jon, Calvin Harris and Jazzy Jeff to name a few. Their resident Jerzy is also one of my favorites. The lighting and effects are on point with Vegas style confetti drops and co2 blasts.
I really like the décor of the club. It’s an enclosed rooftop with large windows and led lights across the ceiling. Fairly large but has a dark intimate and cozy vibe.
They attract many celebrities and athletes so you never know who you will see there.
The club puts attention to detail on every event and the staff will often dress accordingly to match the theme for the event of the day.
There is always an extra bit of professionalism from the servers and door staff as they uphold the lettuce entertain you standard of service. The manager Kevin is extremely hospitable and attentive.
If can definitely be difficult to get in sometimes because the club attracts a bottle service crowd and they are usually slammed with reservations. My recommendations are to either make a table reservation, or buy tickets online and get there early. If you do one of the above you should have no problems and you will have an awesome time! Once your inside its al all out party!

Hi Studio Paris, you sure are sexy and friendly on the inside, but why you gotta be so pretentious on the outside?
Studio Paris is definitely the hottest club in town, as a matter of fact, one of the few clubs. Gone clubbing at almost all the hottest clubs during its prime in every major city in the States, but this place is probably the most difficult club to get into. It took me 3 tries to get in. The first 3 times, i came with a group of girls, and safe to say, all above average looking, but we were denied entrance unless we got a table, even though it around 10am. Clubs don’t close until 4/​5am here…
4^th time was the charm. A group of us (girls only) got in only b/​c we met someone who knew one of the promoters. Had a blast that night. A lot of EDM and mainstream music with an EDM spin.
Warning: either shell out $$$ for a bottle or need connections to get in. Once you get in, you’ll have an amazing time. No designated dance floor since place is small, which is a huge bummer if you call yourself a club.

My boyfriend and I traveled from Ontario to Chicago and we were looking for something intimate and cool to do on New Year’s.
I have done some research and found that Afro Jack was playing here on New Year’s Eve and decided to go. Although it was an expensive night $ 200 a ticket it was most definitely worth it. The atmosphere is awesome several booth as well as a dance floor and a DJ area.
I have been to Las Vegas several times and studio Paris definitely had that Las Vegas swanky club feel. I think this is a great place to go if you’re from out of town and are looking for an upscale nightclub in Chicago. I was also very impressed with the service from the bartenders they were quick and accurate!

Typical ‘turn up’ nightclub shenanigans. If you can’t afford bottle service, be prepared to stand in line with the peasants until 2AM and be smashed wall to wall once you get in. If you manage to get a table for that celebratory night, prepare to fend off the hawks and vultures in the shape of women wearing short cocktail dresses fighting over your seats and alcohol. DJ managed the crowd by playing top 40 in the form of house, trap, electro, hip hop. An ecclectic mix of people who were both fun and good looking. A bit crowded, but manageable.
PROTIP: Really wish they had more than one bar.

This one is really tough to write, I’m not a club fan at all but we had a pretty good time. When we showed up to the club, it was near impossible to get the attention of the door guy who was trying to sell tables starting at $ 2,000, I couldn’t believe that kind of price tag. When my buddy came down and pointed us out, we finally got upstairs. I felt they were instantly nicer when they realized we had a reservation with bottle service.
My group had a lot of fun, servers treated us well, but again this is not my scene. I feel its the typical club scene, can’t really move around, don’t expect to talk much and expect to walk out without being able to hear for a while from the music.
My biggest question and concern is why… why did it ALWAYS smell like fart? I’d finally get into a groove, diggin the music, diggin the drinks, then it would creep up on you… stank.
Overall, I had a good time thanks to the reservation, music and my group. If we walked in with no ressy, I’m sure this review would very poorly.

First night in Chicago and this was the first night club my cousin and siblings hit up! Luckily, my cousin has some hookups so when we got there at around 10:45pm, we were let in right away. Brian was the one we were introduced too and he is such a nice guy! We got our first round of drinks for free but it was on the weaker end. Ehh what do you expect. After that, we ordered another round of drinks and paid for it and WOW!!! Strongest drink I’ve ever had! You definitely get what you pay for! The club was a little dead still but when 11:30 pm rolled around, it started getting more packed.
The venue itself is pretty small. Spacious but small. You need to get bottle service in order to sit but there is plenty of space to roam and stand around. My cousin and I danced on the side up on the table top but you’re not suppose to –_​_​-​. We got a few dances in, talked to some people, and overall had a good time. This is an older crowd and my siblings and I were probably the youngest ones. Age rang is probably in your mid 30s and up but there were a few youngins. Definitely an upscale club! Music was okay as well. Maybe because I am to young and don’t recognize a lot of songs? Lol. When we left, there was a huge line out the door so this means this club is pretty popular!
NOTE:
–Bathrooms available (bring cash to tip)

THE GIRL EXPERIENCE: Not that many handsome guys. Studio is filled with ugly short guys with money, creepy older men with sweat on their foreheads, a few black men who act famous, a few arabs and indians who act like they deserve it all cause maybe they have a 50 dollar bill. Lots of skank. Lots of bottle rats. (Slutty-​dressed girls crowding a table to get a free drink.) Some spots smell like fart. You’ll be standing there and suddenly a whiff of thick butt fart will slap you across the face. Ewww!
But Studio has some of the best security that I’ve seen, even compared to Vegas. Bouncers everywhere, flashlight ready, spill cleanup crew quick to attend. I saw 4 drunk girls politely kicked out of the club for refusing to get up from a table. A drunken bottle rat spilled drinks on the floor and two guys with towel mops came within seconds. Guys have to behave. Fights are broken up quickly.
The drinks are a joke. Weak. Plastic barware could use a refresh.
It does get REALLY crowded after about 12:30.
Long lines to the bathroom but it is kept clean and stocked by a nice lady. Snow and molly are normal. Like there will be a girl dancing next to the DJ, wearing her coat. But don’t worry, it doesn’t get out of control.
They have a coat check right in the club but it is next to the bathroom and exit– odd location. Gets really crowded there, but you can crap, get your coat, and bounce out all within 15 feet.
It’s a sheetshow. An experience to have once or twice. If you’ve never been, just try to get there at 10pm, be nice, and plan on definitely leaving at 1:00 when it gets unbearable.
And if you’re taller than 5’7″, don’t plan on meeting any guys. Most of them are short, not attractive, horny. Table service and bottle rats have them dancing and farting like they’re 6’2.
Enjoy!
