Henry S Swing Club Has Shaggy 70S Charm In A Sleek River North Body

There’s no Henry at Henry’s Swing Club. The name comes from a 1947 John Lee Hooker song called “Boogie Chillen’” about a blues club in Detroit. The Henry there I imagine as a hepcat mixing drinks in his shirtsleeves for men in zoot suits and women in elaborate hats. You will not find any of these things at DMK Restaurants’s Henry’s Swing Club, a cavernous, garage-like space in River North where youthful investment banker types in ties play pool and clusters of young women in ponytails with expensive bags gather for postwork drinks.
