Tunnel is a 4,898 sq ft club on Kinzie Street in River North, situated above Tree House bar with a nondescript street entrance that drops into a hidden staircase — the concept nods to London's urban tunnels. Inside: color-changing LEDs, a twelve-panel video wall, and a Martin Audio sound system. Created in 2015 by Samantha Sanchez with the explicit goal of affordable luxury — nicer than a dive, more accessible than a bottle-service fortress.
Crowd skews 21+ and fairly mixed across the week — Thursdays and Sundays draw a Latin-leaning crowd, weekends pull a broader open-format crowd. Cover is manageable and guest list actually works (free for women, reduced for men). Dress code is relaxed business casual; collared shirts preferred for men, jeans accepted. Hours run 10pm-2am most nights, 3am Saturdays.
Tunnel has a dress code called "Smart Business Casual," which means you should look neat and stylish but not too formal. Guests should avoid things like sweatpants, shorts, or hats. The club asks everyone to follow this rule equally so that the atmosphere stays classy and comfortable for all guests

Bottle service minimums vary: one bottle is required on Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays, but two are usually needed on busy Saturdays.
