Chicago Live Music: Jazz, Blues or a Concert Room?

Let the music give the evening a reason to happen. Choose an Uptown jazz set, Lincoln Park blues or a Pilsen concert.

Jazz and country in Uptown

Green Mill and Carol’s Pub are different rooms for different nights. Start with the current set or band. Admission, seating and age details belong to the actual performance.

Blues on Halsted

Kingston Mines has bands trading sets across two stages. Pick the current lineup and decide how late to stay. A live band is part of the room, so this is not a quiet-conversation promise.

A show in Pilsen

Thalia Hall is a concert destination on Allport Street. The Tonk ... Honky Tonk BBQ serves barbecue with its own live music on Racine Avenue. A meal and a concert can share a neighborhood without being the same venue.

Western Avenue or Southport

Empty Bottle is 21+ at its own venue. Schubas Tavern sets ages by show and shares a booking website with Lincoln Hall. Read the room and age rule on your ticket.
