Awesome small venue for indie concerts. You go in through the bar/grill (which had really yummy and reasonably priced food and drink). Venue is behind. Great experience- we will be back!
I saw That1Guy here and it was a BLAST. We didnt have food, but the drinks were good. It's a very nice intimate venue with enough room inside to have your own bubble. Other concertgoers were very pleasant and respectful and the staff was cool
Cool place to see a show. Cozy. Small, low ceiling, and narrow. Yet acoustics were great for our show Pacific Dub and Blue Beam. Had to go to front bar to purchase drinks, which was no big deal. Restroom is down stairs. We didn't find it to difficult to find free parking that Friday night. Front bar staff were friendly.
Loved going here for the cure and the smiths cover band on Valentine’s Day! My friends and I had so much fun! We weren’t overcrowded and everyone was super friendly. The crowd was a lot older (in their 40s) than us, but it was still super fun!!
Old school Chicago bar/club; bar in front, music club in back. They do it well across the board. Good enough food although a little slow when busy. Bartenders friendly. Doormen are...doormen. Atmosphere makes the place solid overall; crowd not too rowdy, very good sound system and reliably good local music. Definitely a Chicago treasure.
Great small music venue and bar. Food before the show was great.
Awesome venue, and the bar is dope too! Went in to catch Demo Division and check out the opening acts, which they were all KILLER Excellent customer service from the gentleman behind the bar and the other bartenders! A good selection of drinks at great prices, and although I didn't get a chance to try the food, it looked great from what I saw at people's tables. Definitely will come again!
Great bar, great music, great drinks. Hard to find a better deal than here. The audio quality was fantastic, all the bands sounds clear and not overbearing like other similar places. Definitely go see a show here, even if you don’t know them! You’ll either leave loving the band, the bar, or both.
