Epiphany

City Winery

City Winery

Simply put, the City Winery is enormous. With only two locations—one in Manhattan’s Hudson Square and one at the west end of Chicago’s “Restaurant Row”—this combo winery, restaurant, and venue has garnered a lot of press since opening in the summer of 2012. Musically, it brings in a lot of singer-songwriter types who appeal to a wealthier, more middle-aged crowd, but it also hosts acts like...

The CrossRoads Bar and Grill

The CrossRoads Bar & Grill celebrates the migration of music from the south to Chicago.  So why CRBG? The CBGB club in New York was a mecca for music. It started as a club that played Country, BlueGrass and Blues and ended up as a landmark where punk legends such as the Ramones started. We have no affiliation with the New York club, but we...

The Mid

The Mid

If you’ve gone to see a big-name DJ or dance act over the past few years, chances are that you’ve ended up at The Mid in the meatpacking district on Halsted (if you were able to find it). Walk-able from Restaurant Row, this 800-capacity venue acts as a full-blown nightclub, from the disco-ball lighting to the snobby bartenders, button-down clientele, and front-door security (which, for certain...

Bottom Lounge

Bottom Lounge

Split into three distinct sections, the massive new Bottom Lounge reopened on the Near West Side in 2008. (Its original location in Lakeview closed in 2005, shut down by CTA expansion.) The main venue area (capacity of 700) books some primo bands, often across rock and rap but also Americana, electronica, metal, and more—and the sound quality almost always is on point. If you want to...
