The night life in River North is pretty impressive when it comes to having options. This neighborhood has a bustling night scene and we rated night life at 85%. A night out on the town in River North will cost you, and some places are more expensive than they are fun so do some research on your venue if you’re looking for a mood. For those of us on a well deserved vacation and looking for a lovely experience that showcases Chicago’s finest, River North is a great place to start. It’s definitely a neighborhood worth experiencing for some night life memories.

Speaking of Chicago’s finest, we gave River North a 90% heartbeat score. River North definitely feels like Chicago. It’s swimming with blue collar professionals by day, and pulsing with party flair by night. And on a clear night, the city lights feel like a dream. It’s also home to part of the popular Chicago Riverwalk, a lovely path alongside the Chicago River you can stroll down and take in some stunning views. River North is yet another neighborhood that makes Chicago great.
