TAO CHICAGO INFORMATION

TAO CHICAGO DRESS CODE

This upscale Chicago nightclub has a strict dress code designed to match its high-end atmosphere. Guests should wear fashionable, dressy clothing—no athletic wear, tank tops, flip-flops, baggy chains, or sports jerseys. Baseball caps, oversized bags, and professional cameras are also not allowed. The goal is for everyone to fit in with the stylish crowd and overall vibe.

TAO CHICAGO AGE LIMIT

To get into this nightclub, you must be 21 years old or older. You’ll need to show a valid government-issued ID at the entrance. This age requirement applies to every night, including private parties and special events, and is enforced by security staff.

TAO CHICAGO COAT CHECK

During colder seasons, a coat check is available at multiple spots inside the venue, including the second-floor entrance and the Chandelier Room. It’s a secure way to store your coat or small bag while you enjoy the music and drinks.

TAO CHICAGO COVER CHARGE

Entry fees depend on the night and event, but women typically pay about $20 and men pay between $30 to $40 without a guestlist reservation. On busier nights or when big-name DJs perform, the cover charge may go up. Signing up for the guestlist can help you save money and avoid the long entry line.

TAO CHICAGO GUESTLIST

Guestlist access is offered on select nights and can help you get in quicker or at a lower cost. Women usually get better deals when using the guestlist, but entry is not guaranteed if the venue is full or you don’t meet the dress code. It’s smart to arrive early and follow the dress guidelines.

TAO CHICAGO BOTTLE SERVICE

For a VIP night out, bottle service includes a private table, mixers, a wide selection of premium liquor, and a personal server. This package also gives you priority entry and helps you avoid general admission lines. Pricing varies depending on the event, table location, and group size—making it a popular option for birthdays, celebrations, and upscale nights out.
