Rainbow Tour: Northalsted Pride Bar Crawl 2026

K-pop takes over Sidetrack for a night of dance floor energy, video performances, and a crowd that knows every word. Thursday nights at this legendary video bar mean themed beats, DJs spinning the hits, and the kind of celebration that makes Halsted Street worth the trip.

Start your Friday afternoon at Sidetrack with the city's most beloved sing-along tradition. From 3-7pm, belt out classic show tunes with a crowd that actually knows the words, then stick around to watch RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars from 7-9pm. Doors open at 3pm — no excuse not to kick off your weekend early.

The last Saturday of every month belongs to the women and sapphic community at Sidetrack. Five to nine pm is your window to dance, connect, and celebrate with folks who get it — a recurring gathering that's become a reliable highlight for anyone looking to spend their evening around their people.

Sidetrack opens early at 11am on Pride Parade Sunday with air-conditioned comfort, big screens showing the parade live, and party music pumping across all the bars. Doors stay open until 2am, so you can watch the parade, celebrate with the community, and keep the party going all day long.

Sidetrack's legendary Sunday tradition: Broadway sing-alongs across multiple bars, with party music and dancing that keeps going till 2am. No cover charge means there's zero reason not to show up and belt out your favorite show tunes with a room full of people who actually know the words.

Every Monday night, Sidetrack transforms into a Broadway lover's dream — big screens lighting up with classic show tunes and movie musical videos, a packed crowd singing along, and six hours to lose yourself in the magic. 8pm-2am is the perfect midweek escape for anyone who lives for the theatrics.
