Chicago

This place is cool because it's exactly what it needs to be — a big space for music - without the frills. There are some quaint, old-theater accents, but somehow you don't really notice them. It's basically a semi-big, split-level, warehouse-like space where (mostly) good bands come to play. And if you don't like it, too fucking bad. You want in or not? The only thing that sucks is that you're pretty much limited to a $4 Budweiser.
