The New Crystal's Party Bar Brings Fun to Crystal Lake

A new level of entertainment hits Chicago's northwest suburbs with the opening of Crystal's Party Bar located at 800 S. Route 31 in Crystal Lake.

Crystal's does not charge an admission fee - EVER.

Crystal's features an extensive video entertainment system, including individual TVs in each of the club's numerous plush booths. The flat screen monitors can be adjusted to each patron's choice of channels for sports, music videos, free wireless video games including PS2 titles and even to watch what's happening on the dance floor on camera. "The booths with TVs are perfect for sports fans and happy hour patrons, and they will function as cool little getaway areas with personalized entertainment for the nighttime crowd," said Borden.

Giant plasma screens ring the dance floor area to add to the late night party atmosphere, and a translucent screen high above the dance floor serves as a shadow box for more adventurous patrons to dance in silhouette among colorful lighting and video projections.

"Crystal's plays what we call The Best Party Music Ever," said Borden. "It's an all-hits format concentrating on fun, upbeat music from the 80s and 90s with plenty of music videos." Luis, famous for his long-time residencies at Boogie Nights in Schaumburg, keep the party going strong from 9 PM until 2 AM Friday and Saturday. On Wednesdays, Crystal's jumps back to the future, reviving the legendary weeknight party in Crystal Lake with $2 U-Call-It drinks and the latest dance mixes. Tuesday is a retro lounge party with $3 martinis, and "Rock On Thursdays" features a rock video format with $3 "Mega Mug" beer specials.

Patrons can throw darts, shoot pool and play a variety of video games such as Golden Tee and video bowling, as well as use free wireless controllers to play a variety of video games in real time over the NTN satellite network with players across North America.
