Hydrate Closing for Rennovations

Hydrate, the popular Boystown club located at 3458 N. Halsted, will be closing on Jan. 5 for extensive reconstruction. The club is set to re-open in mid- to late- February. 

"As we continue to bring new entertainment options to North Halsted, it's the perfect time to recreate Hydrate and celebrate the New Year with a fresh destination on the block to serve the gay community in 2014," owner Mark Liberson said in a release. 

Elixir, the adjacent cocktail lounge at 3452 N. Halsted, will remain open as normal throughout the construction. 

Hydrate will be hosting two events to celebrate the business before it closes, including a Jan. 3 Underwear Fashion Show benefit for the TPAN's Ride for AIDS Chicago Team and a Dragilicious Show on Sat. Jan 4.

The suggested donation for the Underwear Fashion Show is a minimum of $10 and includes premium cocktails from 9 until 11 p.m. The Dragilicious Show features a 9 p.m. all-star cast of female impersonators followed by a Hard Hats and Sledgehammer party.
