Rate and Write a Review Marc Bortz flips the script on his sprawling Lincoln Park nightclub once again. This time he partners with longtime club owner Ed Tunney (Club 720) and promoter Henry Cardenas (CMN Events), turning the former Biology Bar into something that aims to appeal to the masses. The 11,000-square-foot Republic features two dance floors as well as several unique lounge spaces. A large stage and state-of-the-art sound system allows for live concerts, but on most nights DJs will spin everything from hip-hop, rock, house and Latin fare. Republic is a far cry from the old Biology Bar (when the club's space resembled the inside of a science lab), as the decor has been replaced with more sophisticated accents. Five cozy living rooms are adorned with chocolate and cream leather booths, decadent chandeliers and custom soft-tone curtains. The interior also features zebra wood-paneled and mosaic-tiled walls, a noteworthy water-wall and 16 flat-screen TVs for displaying music videos.
