Spin, located at the corner of Halsted and Belmont, is a dance bar that attracts mainly a younger crowd. Beginning at the southernmost bar and running north, this is Boystown U.S.A. What makes a Boystown bar-crawl so easy is that 99% of the bars run down about a ½ mile stretch of North Halsted Street. Gay visitors to the city invariably head first to the area of Chicago’s Lakeview and Wrigleyville neighborhoods known as Boystown.
