Love this bar. Free popcorn , divey, cheap drinks and friendly bartenders. All of them. Pretty…read morechill spot. Very open to straight couples as well. Overall great place to people watch.

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.

A loud place, small, tight quarters with "metered" shots…read more The BLT is worth the visit though. "Some" of the staff is great...then there are some that are a bit too professional. Not as friendly as it used to be. Really smokey (get some ventilation) and only a couple of masks beside the kitchen. Again...the BLT makes it worth the visit.

Well Coaches Corner, we're cool now. Ya.. we had some rough…read moretimes, and a little bit of drama... but no worries. Every time I've been here lately the crowd has been pretty chill, it's a hard working crowd, a blue collar crowd, a social and friendly crowd. The unsavory characters that have been here before have moved on apparently, which is great. I'm still mindful of my belongings, but not worried about straight up theft. Diane is very friendly as are most of the bartenders, drinks are cheap and they're cold as ice too. I just wish you wouldn't run out of brands Though I wish you're bathrooms were more than just single occupancy... they're at least decently clean. They have 'Stupid Coffee' and 'Risk ur Life Donuts' in the morning (Open at 7 AM) Sapporo Beer is $3.00 - always and the have Angry Orchard beer - a hard cider. I love the Angry Orchard, but it is dangerous... so easy to drink that you don't notice how drunk you're actually getting... SMH, makes for a wicked hangover too. All in all it's a decent place. Go take a look see if you're in the area.
