Seven Nightclub Chicago — Restaurant in Jefferson Township

entry was being difficult letting me in tonight, we drove far to come with my friends and we were there before the club opened waiting in line. when it gets to me he says he can’t let me in bc of what im wearing ( a jersey from a concert i had bought and shorts) i understand the jersey bc their dress code did say no jerseys which i didnt see but it never said anything about shorts. he kept going back n forth with me and my friends about my shorts as well saying how the owner wouldn’t like it the owner wants a certain look that everyone came dressed up to be here. when i looked around everyone was just mainly in jeans and a shirt the only “dressed up” people would be like the girls or for the event that they had going on, eventually the security guard comes and says as long as i take my jersey off i can come in and i was like cool lets do that, mind you all my friends are paying this place to get in paying to be there, once i get inside i had two friends still outside waiting to come in not realizing it’s my friends and the same entry guy goes to them saying “you know how it is, the look we’re tryna keep yk right..? i mean yk we’re not tryna have that kind of vibe here ..” yada yada yada, going on about it to them implying that me being more masculine looking as a girl and obviously can tell im gay like they didn’t want that vibe at the club and want certain looks n didn’t want that to ruin that. the club was a nice club great music and everything it was just that encounter, as we continue our night now because of that situation me and my friends are looking at what everyone’s wearing and all the guys are mainly in jeans n just a shirt n even seen three guys in shorts and what made me really upset was a guy had the same outfit as me literally had a jersey on but didn’t have to take it off while being inside but i had to and wasn’t allowed to wear it inside or be told i would get kicked out right away, and i looked at all the other dress code rules and there were a lot of other people not in them women and men yet they didn’t get “dress coded” and i feel like the only reason i even got in was because i was with my more feminine friends which would look good for the club image so they just were like whatever about it, but entry guy was very entitled for a club that everyone’s just trying to have a good time at and my original outfit was more put together then a lot of people in there that i saw in sweats or just leggings or ripped jeans and sandals and just a mess of an outfit...

Had to give a star to post this and if I could give negative five stars I would…

My daughters in state from college for winter break who is 19, clearly of age to get in as it’s 18 here, and she was turned away on New Year’s Eve! and this is their first review of the new year. SMH. But shame on them… she’s an interracial baby and she had two friends with her of another race other than Caucasian and Hispanic which were the only two there, at Seven Nightclub, she observed while being scrutinized of her “attire”. She had black leggings on, shoes and a shirt. Nothing that wouldn’t “allow” you to get in…. Additionally, There is literally nothing mentioned on the NYE flier of attire nor website. The guy at the front door she said couldn’t even really think of a reason. He just kept saying attire. Then he said coat which was only a sweatshirt jacket not coat. Regardless she was willing to disrobe of it. Then he mustered up the second single word leggings. Both of her friends were in disbelief as they even knew this man was being shady and none of this was making sense. He literally could not form a sentence and was very awkward in what she described as looking for an excuse.

Please do not visit this establishment. We all need to stay together for the greater human good. If a place wants to “not let” ppl in due to race skin color social hierarchy etc then they do not deserve to be open. #boycoteSevenNightclub...

What a poor decision for people to go and support/spend money on a business that is employing less than unworthy individuals to work with other individuals. Starting with security working people who abuse their power and purpose of maintaining peace and remind you every second inside and outside the place who is in control, to a business who’s operating for the sole purpose to rip you off money - it’s a shame that this club/trash place is allowed to operate. I have never been to a place before where you are forced to pay and remove a summer casual cardigan/top after you already paid the entrance fee ($20) and don’t feel like leaving but have no choice unless you pay another fee for a cardigan/top that you would like to keep when the temperature is below 45 degrees. Nor have I ever been to a place where a security man 2 times bigger than a peaceful young man is almost physically attacking him while the young man is already outside leaving and repeatedly saying “I am leaving, I am leaving,” clearly afraid of the security man and uninterested in any verbal or physical confrontation. Of course, these are only a few of countless and less than degrading situations witnessed at Seven Club were I went a single time and stayed for only a few hours. I don’t go often to clubs and what I know for sure is that I will go even less often thanks to places like Seven...
