Transit Chicago, Venue Description

Transit -

Transit is industrial in venue, swanky in decor, and unbeatable in its DJs. International turntablists spin salsa, house and electro across the 1,500 sq-ft dance floor to an appreciative crowd. Isolated lounge areas like the Oval Bar, Light Bar, Mezzanine, and a swank VIP room give you a chance to take a break from the action. Transit provides a hip hangout for sidesteppers serious about beats and fashion.

Touring DJs come through on Thursday nights, making Transit a good pre-weekend destination. The crowd has seen better days, and the isolated location can be a problem, but the scene in the VIP room is still quality, and the music selection can't be criticized.

Accountant, AM
after reading these comments, i am convince, Club is over rated. Staff have no manners and they are very rude. I was there for my cousins party and there was no one waiting on the SO call VIP area. I kept going back and forth to the bar for drinks... mind that? The bartender was tipped every time, yet she had this face, wanting to hurt someone. At some point she snapped at me??!! ha!! bc she couldnt hear me.
then she started yelling to the crowed to wait!! I had just arrived to the bar.I was really shocked to see how the Staff there handles their clients, RUDE & careless. Starting from the entrance all the way around the club. The only nice people there were the runners cleaning the glasses.
Also, you would think they would have some stable a/c,Oh No honey!! - too hot. Music was good, props to the DJ's!!
Dont think I would be going there again. Not classy at all.
************Transit NEEDS NEW manager.

some s#*!
I was chillin in VIP and someone decided to take our couch to make out. I got a drink thrown on me after I told those freaks to leave after my friends spent $500 on a spot. Needless to say, I was walked out after loosing my mind and almost getting into a fight with 2 people. VIP restriction should be reinforced. If you are not supposed to be there don't be making out on someone else's couch you cheap ass wannabe's.

Manager
Me and a very good friend of mine were having a really good time at Transit we decided to take a break and get another drink at the bar in the main room. My friend offered to pay and I was going to give a the tip. We got our drinks and she payed while I was looking for my money in my jeans the bartender which was a blonde woman in her late 30's early 40's very rudely said "If your not going to tip get out of this area this is where I make my money!" Waving her arms her arms shooing us away from the bar. She ruined our whole night by embarrassing us. She should really be fired for being a money hungry broke loser! It's not my fault she survives on tips! How pathetic! Get an education!

Cornrow lover's Beware
My best friend had her birthday celebration at this club. My guy friend was unable to get into this club because he had cornrows in his hair! My hair was twisted to the back similar to cornrows. We were denied entry because of that. What blows my mind is that this club is a block from Union Park which isn't in the best of neighborhoods. Cornrows says something about a persons cultural background and style. I'm very disappointed in this place and I still haven't set foot inside. Sorry to say I will not be back to this club.
