Butch McGuire's holds itself out to be Chicago's original singles bar and few would disagree. The bar has been in existence since 1961 and occupies a prime location near Rush and Division in a very desirable part of the city. The crowd is diverse and a bit younger than that which frequents some of the other Irish pubs in the city. Butch McGuire's offers drink specials every day of the week, as well as a decent-sized menu. Due to its location, atmosphere and drink specials, Butch McGuire's is a good pick for any day of the week.

The Hunt Club is located in a very trendy area of the city and certainly lives up to all of the expectations that come with its near North location. The crowd is younger and very fashionable. Dress to impress and be prepared to pay a cover charge for entry. The Hunt Club offers drink and food specials most nights and most importantly, stays open until 5 a.m. on Saturday nights. Finally, if the night scene is not for you, be sure to visit the Hunt Club for a late lunch or early dinner.

if you are a single professional in Chicago, there is no better place to see and be seen than at Rebar in the Trump Chicago Hotel. The bar is situated on the hotel's mezzanine level and offers a very relaxed atmosphere. In addition to its drinks menu, the bar provides a wonderful view of the river and the Michigan Avenue bridge. The bar's sophisticated atmosphere means you should be prepared to pay a premium for drinks and any items off the bar's sushi menu. Finally, get to the bar early as it closes at 1 a.m. on Saturday nights.
