smartbar: a guide to the room and its place in Chicago
smartbar in Chicago, mapped through the RA histories of Derrick Carter, DJ Seinfeld, and Eris Drew. Live photography and visitor information come from Google Maps.
Greenroom editorial / July 20, 2026
smartbar is a room in Chicago, at 3730 N. Clark St; Chicago, IL 60613; United States. Derrick Carter, DJ Seinfeld, Eris Drew, Honey Dijon, Octo Octa, and Tama Sumo surface it among their most-played venues on Resident Advisor, connecting the floor to breaks, disco, house, rave, and techno.
The room in this network
This guide starts with artist history rather than hype. The connection comes from 7 artists in Greenroom's public directory, each linked back to an exact RA profile. That makes smartbar part of the working route around Honey Dijon and Juliana Huxtable, not a generic city recommendation.
Who brings the room into view
Derrick Carter, DJ Seinfeld, Eris Drew, Honey Dijon, Octo Octa, and Tama Sumo. Their overlap points toward breaks, disco, house, rave, and techno. It is a useful programming signal, but it is not a promise about any single night. Check the current calendar before building a trip around the room.
Plan the visit
Greenroom loads the current address, status, rating, hours, website and visitor photography live from Google Maps. Those details can move faster than an editorial guide, especially for seasonal spaces and clubs in transition.

Why it matters
The clearest measure here is recurrence. smartbar appears across the public histories of Derrick Carter, DJ Seinfeld, Eris Drew, Honey Dijon, Octo Octa, and Tama Sumo, artists who do not all occupy the same lane. That cross-current is the story: a room capable of holding more than one corner of club culture, with a trail that can be checked against the source.
