The Shrine

One of the newest, hipper than thou, night clubs to venture onto the Chicago nightlife scene is called The Shrine. Named after a night club in Lagos, Nigeria and owned by the late, great Nigerian composer, Fela Kuti. I had the very fortunate opportunity to see what all hype was about prior to the official opening. It was clear that the emphasis of this place would be on the muzak, which by the way, was solid! I would describe it as visually stunning with an anything goes atmosphere and definitely saw much potential. Although I haven't been since my initial visit, I plan on returning in the near future.
