TAO Chicago Nightclub

TAO Chicago Nightclub

Step beyond a century-old Chinese gate and down a lantern-lit alley into TAO’s 7,000-square-foot, second-floor playground—an Asian-inspired nightlife temple where River North glamour meets Vegas-level production. Inside, 40-foot ceilings frame a soaring HUSH-designed geisha mural animated by projection-mapping, while an oversized Japanese bell conceals the retractable disco ball that ignites the dance floor. Multiple dedicated bars, customizable LED walls, and a state-of-the-art sound-and-light rig host top international DJs and celebrity appearances, with VIP booths and bottle service adding extra exclusivity. The flexible layout morphs from intimate lounge settings to a 700-plus-guest cocktail reception, making TAO ideal for everything from luxe birthday takeovers to corporate blowouts. When you need a breather, slip downstairs to TAO Asian Bistro’s grand dining room, anchored by a 16-foot Quan Yin statue—perfect for pre-game sushi or late-night bites before you head back to the decks. Just minutes from the docks, TAO Chicago is the definitive after-dark anchor for Playpen captains and crew looking to keep the party going long after the boats tie up.
