Center on Halsted is the Midwest’s most comprehensive community center dedicated to advancing community and securing the health and well-being of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ) people of Chicagoland. More than 1,000 community members visit the Center every day, located in the heart of Chicago’s Lakeview Neighborhood.
The Center on Halsted had a lot to offer, such as the Cyber Center, free GED courses, things for the Homeless, classes for those 55 and older and of course THE SILVERFORK CULINARY TRAINING PROGRAM.
This space has been utilized by many organizations I've been apart of. Different occasions had caused for different use of the space which includes their gym, stage, meeting rooms, and much more. All have exceeded expectations, and the staff has always been very friendly. If ever you need to use the space for any purpose really, I highly recommend because it's affordable friendly clean and a great location.
Everyone is friendly and helpful. You can get food at Whole Foods or BYO from elsewhere and just relax. They have the Cyber (computer) Center and lots of great groups.
It's Very Nice That Place Including Center On 3656 N Halsted!!!❤❤❤ WOW THERE IS MORE NICE AND BETER PLACE FOR THE SUPPORT OF THE COMMUNITY OF ❤LGBT❤ AND MUCH MORE!!!
Very inclusive space for the LGBTQIA community, as well as a nice area to eat, get work done, or sit leisurely. Pick up a few pamphlets or check out the board of events!
Great place, Supportive and well trained staff. Amazing concept with lots of activities to participate,from socializing, volunteering, support groups...
One of Chicago's most notable community centers; a perfect demonstration of the city's status as a sanctuary city. It houses several multi-purpose classrooms, screening rooms, and galleries, offering a vibrant environment for locals and visitors alike.
I'm seeing a therapist here, and these people are amazing. If you're open to the idea of helping yourself and healing, they will guide you through all the pitfalls. They're incredibly lgbtq+ friendly, intersectional, and do what they can to find a therapist that fits your needs that you're comfortable with. This place has changed my life for the better, and I can't thank them enough.
Greatest place I know in the heart of Chicago's north side! I am very appreciative of the fact that this place exists. So many resources and tools for the LGBTQAI COMMUNITY!
Clean, Friendly, yet very knowledgeable staff . Excellent upgrades to first floor with new technology tables. Cyber Center always has staff willing to assist you. So many meetings and activities with a vast majority listed daily on the Center's calendar. Whole Foods market has healthy, wholesome food and products. Center on Halsted has AA and NA meetings and is handicap accessible.
The Center provides safe space for all ages. In addition, it offers space for services and events. The staff and volunteers are well-trained and amicable, for the most part.
The Center is an amazing resource for the LGBT community. There is a gymnasium, theatre, a resource help desk, and computer lap just to name a few things the center has to offer!
A great place for the gay community, one of a kind in the nation and perhaps the world, who knows? They have wonderful services that are mostly free. Amazing senior building and services. The language classes, meditation, and support groups are fantastic. Wish they had a parking place. I love visiting here.
I have been going to Center on Halsted for years now, engaging at their community events, youth drop-ins, and of course, Whole Foods. Most of the staff that work here you see on a daily basis and they are some of the most kind, respectful, and passionate workers that I have seen at a community center. I am also glad that they have gotten new tables with charger ports for devices and they seem to be having events more regularly. A great place that is packed to the brim with diversity.
This place is really cool for meetings or an afternoon work session or place to kill some time out of the elements.First floor has some public table space that is at a premium. Lots of people working or meeting. Decent place to scarf down some quick eats from the adjoining Whole Foods.Second floor has private rooms for rent, and some public work spaces but you have to be let in by security. Third floor seemed to be a big open quiet space with a few chairs. I didn't explore further, kind of discovered it by accident when the elevator went up instead of down. Park in Whole Foods garage at your own risk up to 2 hours so long as you make a purchase.
Mi experience at hbmc was exceptional, got everything taken care of right away and had fun with an ole friend of mine to boot!,Missed Nadia though, thinking of you brings back great memories.
Joel Hall Dancers Youth company and The scholarship program preformed there yesterday. The stage is beautiful and the staff is amazing. Everyone was so welcoming and the dressing rooms were PERFECT. I can't wait till next years show!!!!
Very helpful and knowledgeable staff and volunteers. It was great to see the youth hanging out in the ground level community space. They seemed very comfortable. Great photo exhibits...one of Pride Parade from the 1970s and from 2 or 3 other more recent years. More naked every year. 😉The 2nd was a photo display of transgender women. Lovely and surprising. I love the architecture and the feel of the place. They have the largest peace plant I have ever seen.
Went to CAKE here, it was an awesome turnout... really amazing. Thank you for the free space to be creative and engaged! Visit the Center and check out their cool pride photos from back in the day, on the second floor. They are wonderful.
This is a class place and very needed for the LGBTQ community. It is ran very well from the Top down. It is very clean, well organized and is a place where people can grow as well as have fun. This is a top notch place where there is NO discrimination. I rate this place a 10 out of 10.
This is a great place,the staff are so nice the center is great it helped my partner and I I'm so glad there is a place like this in the city if your feeling down or just want to hang out and talk this is the place I can't even begin to tell you how much I love this place thank center on Halsted from all of my heart 😊

Amazing place! I come here every Monday and Thursday for open gym volleyball. I play in college while it's not the best competition it's better than most! There's always a good time here
This is an amazing space capable of providing the area with venues for a multitude of events and occasions. Well maintained and comfortable. The area is fortunate to have it.
