Township

Township is a popular new bar on N. California St. Some of the biggest new musicians in the city got their start there after failing to gain any recognition playing at other venues in Chicago. Many national bands also come during their tours.

Smart Bar

Smart Bar is a great venue located right underneath the Metro on North Clark St. Only people over 21 are allowed admittance.

While the Metro is popular among many Blues fans, Smart Bar caters to people that are more interested in electric rock. Many of the greatest performers in the city, including Shawn Rudiman, Michael Serafini and Garrett David. There is a great performance almost every day of the week.

The Beat Kitchen

The Best Kitchen is another great place to go to see awesome performers. It may take a little while for the venue to grow on you, though. It has a little bit of a dive bar feeling, but it is still a pleasant atmosphere.

It is a pretty small place, which makes it easy to feel a connection with the band. Many patrons that have visited said that they have actually engaged with the performers afterward.

Double Door

Double Door is a pretty cool venue to check out. The layout itself isn’t perfect. Some of the pillars are inconveniently placed in the middle of the floor, which can obstruct the view of the performers. However, many great events are held throughout the week.

Patrons have said that Double Door always has some awesome performers. Most of the artists are new, but there are some popular performers as well. Most of them tend to cater to the hipster crowd, but there are plenty of other people that may want to visit the Double Door as well.
