I need a name of a disco that was located in Chicago in 1974. Not any particular club per se, I just need the name of any disco that was in Chicago in 1974. I just want the realism for my story.

Obviously, if you do know of one, I'll take any other details that you can remember. location, interior look, any fads that the club offered etc etc

Excalibur was popular, but that might've been closer to the 80s. We went to a place NW of Chicago called Archie's. It had the flashing-lights floor and everything. It no longer exists, so might be perfect for your story. It wasn't a large place like Excalibur, so it got hot and crowded very early in the evening. We never arrived before 10 PM, often around 11:30, 'cause that was when things started getting going.

Ladies' Night was Tuesday, so we often went then.

Turns out my (now) husband went at the same time I did. We never met 'til years later.
