The California Clipper - side

The California Clipper is an incredibly unique bar and venue with amazing dark red lighting, booth seating, and stellar artists/events I'd definitely recommend making it out on any day of the week, as even when it's slow there are a litany of board games you and your friends can grab and play:

So happy that they did not close down especially because I had only been a couple times before! This place has great vibes. You can say that it's the GreenMill of Humboldt park with handcrafted drinks and good live music to listen too. On this visit, they were throwing a Halloween party with 2 DJ's. We definitely danced the night away and had a lot of fun!

Love the music here, and the atmosphere is insanely cool. Sometimes the vibe can get a little lackluster when posers talk over the acts, but that is expected. Drinks are slightly overpriced and slightly over watered.

Don't go here alone if you're a woman! Have heard of many young women between the ages of 21—30 getting roofied here, and nothing by the bar has seemingly been done about it. This is not a safe place for women/fem bodies.

Will FOREVER love this place and am elated that it has reopened. However, from someone who had a dying affinity to the old Clipper, the redo is a bit disappointing. The two times I have been here in the past month, the DJs were not great. They need to give the people what they want and book more live performances or at least some DJs who play house music. The drinks are always good but the menu needs to get back to the basics. $6 for a 10 oz skinny Medalla light? Please behave yourselves.. … – show
