Tao · Nightclub · Chicago
The second-floor nightclub at TAO Chicago on Dearborn Street in River North, open Friday and Saturday.
TAO Nightclub is the second-floor room at TAO Chicago, 632 N Dearborn St in River North, open Friday and Saturday from 10 PM to 4 AM, with extra nights around holidays and special events. The floor is split between the Chandelier Room and the Lotus Garden Room, two spaces that can run separately or open into one.
The room is built for drama: vaulted ceilings with LED archways, a 20-foot mural by the artist HUSH brought to life with projection mapping, and a retractable disco ball that drops from a 10-foot Japanese bell. Elsewhere on the floor, private bars and booths sit slightly above a large sunken floor, and a state-of-the-art lighting system carries the whole space.
Resident DJs like Diox, Metro, Mr. Shaw, E-Rock and Nick Rockwell hold down the regular weekends, and the calendar has brought headliners including Martin Garrix, DJ Snake, Chris Lake, Illenium, Galantis, Afrojack and Pauly D. Presale tickets for names like FISHER and Dillon Francis have sold out.
The dress code is smart, casual-elegant: no shorts, baseball caps, athletic apparel, tank tops, exposed chains or flip-flops, and no large bags, backpacks or professional cameras. Dinner at TAO Asian Bistro in the same building, where the menu runs to Peking duck and Wagyu rib-eye teppanyaki, makes an easy start to the night. Tell us the night and your group size, and our Chicago team will arrange the table.

Frequently asked about Tao
How do I book a table at Tao in Chicago?
Submit the reservation request on this page and our concierge team confirms your table, quotes any minimum spend in writing, and coordinates arrival before you commit. Your host opens the door on arrival so you walk straight to a ready table.
How much is a table at Tao?
A table at Tao depends on the night (weekends and event dates price highest), your group size, and where the table sits relative to the DJ booth and dance floor. Rather than a price that changes weekly, MyRSVP quotes your exact minimum spend in writing when confirming, so you know the cost before you arrive.
What is the dress code at Tao?
Tao keeps an upscale nightlife dress code: stylish, dressed-up attire. Avoid athletic wear, gym shoes, and overly casual looks. Your host manages the door with your table, and we confirm the current policy with your booking.
What time should I arrive at Tao?
Table guests generally arrive as the room fills, with the peak on weekends. Your MyRSVP host coordinates a specific arrival window so you are not waiting in line.
