As Zen-like as this place sounds, don’t
expect to go into meditative state at this awesome Chicago IL
charter bus rental nightclub! Whilst, we’re quite sure Buddha is not funky,
this place absolutely is! The name of the place comes from the gargantuan steel
Buddha sitting at the entrance of this Chicago
IL night spot. I was a little
taken-aback by it but as I entered Funky Buddha, it dawned on me….everything’s
a little over-the-top, extreme, funk-filled, zippy around here! It’s like
you’ve just walked into a ‘walk fast’, ‘dance or else’, ‘where’s your drink?’
and ‘Kick your shoes off’ zone. So, what I would say my first impression of
Funky Buddha is is this….it blew me off at first sight.
Of course, Chicago IL’s
a funky (and windy) city and it’s got its fair number of hot clubs and night
spots. What makes this place stand out is that it draws crowds of people who
are ready to party and let their hair down. From leather sofas to faux-leopard
prints on seats….it just tells you that you’re in a completely different world.
The main reason why we decided to make a stop here was because on the Internet,
Funky Buddha was one of the few ‘must-visit’ nightclubs, you see, so we
specifically told the Chicago IL charter bus driver to drop us off here, park
at the side and wait for us to party our night away to take us back to the
hotel. For your information, we’re thankful that we took a rental charter bus
there because Funky Buddha is located on River West, which means that parking
is scarce.
Anyway, there are two bars that I could see
in the place. One is of slightly Moroccon style while another is a little classier.
We never got round to the VIP section, which my friend insisted was the most
amazingly cozy place to a quick snuggle, nevertheless, the dance floor was our
destination of choice. The décor, I would have to say, eats into you. It simply
draws you in and takes you into a whole new world. After a couple of drinks and
some time grooving to the heady music that the DJs play, you’ll be in another
place in no time! And boy, the DJs are good – my friend said that they hired
the best there is to be hired in Chicago
IL and they’re right. I’ve not
heard such well-mixed dance music in any other one of my charter bus rental
holiday escapades in a long time.
We were there on a weekend and the place was understandably packed. If you’re not a fan of being elbowed in the ribs too often, then I strongly recommend that you drop by this Chicago IL charter bus rental holiday destination on Tuesdays because that’s when they have their night dance party. I heard it’s very fun and exciting….oh, and it’s called OUTDANCED!. Check their website for more information on this one. There’s a cover charge of $5 to $20 per person and it differs from day to day. Funky Buddha opens every day till two in the morning except for Sundays.
