Rednofive

• Located in Chicago’s River North District, Rednofive is a high-profile nightclub that caters to partygoers who are over 18 and 21 to drink. The 10,000-square-foot club is intricately decorated with an antique-inspired look that features velvet curtains, animal prints, gold plated mirrors, and crystal chandeliers that create a unique ballroom look with an edge. The crowd is also diverse, which is regulated by the doormen at Rednofive, but as they state there is never one type of person or group that makes up the club, as they are aptly known as the “United Colors of Rednofive.” The club also has a VIP room with zebra-printed couches and chairs where patrons can order bottles of alcohol and watch the dance floor from the second floor.
