Dick's R U Crazy is the lone successor to a Calumet region Gay scene that once boasted five (5)…read moreflourishing and active Gay bars of which one was exclusively for Lesbians. Unfortunately, Calumet City succumbed to a sad combination of white flight and city officials Hell bent on destroying the State and Stateline entertainment corridor, leveling solid historic properties into a barren surface level wasteland, that remains void to this very day. We were once guided by the bright neon signs and chasing lights, like a mini-Las Vegas strip it was. God forbid someone was drinking, carrying on, staying out until past 4 a.m. and having a Gay ole time. So here we are at Dick's R U Crazy, this lone Gay venue has been established in 1990 and serves as a beacon of life for area Gays. It offers a traditional Gay bar feel from back in the day with two (2) chalk dusty pool tables and an eclectic variety of your usual patrons. A corridor leads past the restrooms on the right that opens up into a lounge area with intimately lit tables, a stage and runway avec drag drapes. However, classic Drag shows and those once crowned as bar royalty, drag queens, have been replaced in a new world favoring karaoke. Ugh! You cannot miss what you do not know. In my opinion, today's bar music or what I heard at Dick's was a bore. It's choppy and doesn't flow one song to the next. Who wants to hear and see Seth Meyers bash Trump on Big TV screens on a Friday night in your bar? A total waste of fun time! There must be something far more entertaining and uplighting to fill in the background with to get people up and dancing. Dancing!!? What the F..k is that? One might ask! Dick's R U Crazy is a Gay oasis in a desolate desert environment that doesn't offer many better options short of going into Boystown/Chicago . Hopefully one day the Calumet Region Gay scene will rebound. Dick's R U Crazy is a continuing work in progress.

SO much fun trying to race and grab the cash! I scored a dollar. If you want to know when club vortex will be open again and where, you'll have to check them out on social media.

Corn field on both sides of you, maybe a horse and buggy in front of you, the occasional religious semi-inspirational, "God Bless You." I drove back and forth and the only thing that looks like it might possibly fit the description of this place is a corn silo, everything else is housing and barns. I thought maybe I had completely misunderstood the directions. Once I got back from my drive through the country I checked the location on Google, try it. Do you notice it places the restaurant in Michigan? I'd really like a Gay bar/Lounge/Mexican Restaurant near my house, but this rainbow doesn't seem to actually touchdown anywhere.

The kind of meaning when ladies kiss ladies? Well, that lesson will help when visiting Julia's. This place is a mix between Mexican restaurant, gay bar and outdoor lounge. Karaoke on Friday nights is simple but sufficient (Morrissey, The Cure, Depeche Mode and lots of Top 40 stuff), and the host really can sing quite nicely. Drinks are cheap and potent, with a list of special shots on the wall. Beers were just over $2, and shots ran about $3.50 apiece. I wasn't hungry enough to try Julia's wet burritos, but I'm told they're phenomenal.

The building is surrounded by barbed wire and the entrance is locked, so walking up to it feels less like arriving at a venue and more like checking into a correctional facility. Then came the door staff. The attitude was completely unnecessary. If you're going to charge a cover, at least be professional about it. I was initially told the wrong cover amount, and when I asked about an ATM since they only take cash, I was basically told to go find one down the street. In 2026, we're still cash-only for cover charges? Be serious. After finally getting inside, I quickly realized I had paid $10 for the privilege of standing shoulder-to-shoulder with strangers because there was literally nowhere to sit. The place was packed, which is great for business, but not so great for customers who are expected to pay a cover and then spend the entire night standing around. I stayed about 30 minutes because my friends were there, but the vibe had already been ruined at the door. Nothing kills a night out faster than rude customer service before you've even made it inside. By the way when I was leaving, the rude door person had the nerve to tell me that if I came back right away she wouldn't charge me, but if I didn't come back right away she would charge me again the $10. I told her don't worry I would never be back. I love supporting Black-owned businesses and was excited to check this place out. Unfortunately, good customer service should come with the experience, and that was completely missing. Between the prison-yard first impression, cash-only cover charge, misinformation, overcrowding, and rude door staff, this was a one-and-done experience for me. I won't be back.
