Inside TAO

The vibe

TAO Chicago is a 7,000 sq ft nightclub on the second floor of a historic 126-year-old building at 632 N Dearborn in River North, sitting above the TAO Asian Bistro restaurant. The room is built around a towering 20-foot Buddha statue, a koi pond, and theatrical lighting — the Pan-Asian aesthetic is unmistakably TAO Group's signature. It's a high-production, high-spend room that draws a dressed-up, bridge-and-tunnel crowd alongside Chicago's bottle-service regulars.
