Religion - Nightclubbing at a higher level
New nightclub melds music, elegance and service in one multi-level venue

The energy of a mega club meets the intimacy of an ultra lounge at Religion, a new, multi-sensory experience in Chicago nightlife.

Located in the trendy gallery row district of River North, Religion Nightclub offers an elevated atmosphere with unprecedented service, Thursday through Saturdays. The nightclub boasts a sprawling dance floor and multiple levels of VIP seating for bottle service.

Located three stories above street level, exposed brick walls and 15 foot cathedral windows shower club goers with views of the Chicago Skyline. Adorned with stained glass windows, black crystal chandeliers, and candelabra wall sconces Religion offers a warm, sexy experience accented by deep purple and rich gold tones. Designer, Todd Showalter, creator of exclusive spaces such as Le Pomme Rouge, Moonshine, and the famed Chicago China Club, wanted to create a unique nightlife environment that mirrored the club's name and concept.

Complimenting Religion's lofty aesthetic are the top-tier music promotions led by Chicago's Music 101 on Fridays.

Other international artists will join in throughout the months such as Kenny Hawkes, Mr. V and European House sensation, DJ Gregory, while locally acclaimed resident DJ's Frank Solano, Aaron Dae, Julian Pena spin beats high above the crowd of worshipers in a 15 foot pulpit style DJ booth and transform the space with an energized glitz.

Saturdays cater to a larger share of the audience. Resident artist, DJ Crash, is joined by a slew of celebrity guest DJs such as B96's Flipside on July 14th for the official grand opening. DJ Speed, MySpace's DJ Cubechee and Los Angeles resident DJ Turbulence will each take their turn summoning the dance floor. Saturday nights appeal for a higher state of grace is matched by unsurpassed attention to the details, service and quality.
