For the most amazing live music in the city, Buddy Guy's is the place to go! Bands such and The Rolling Stones to Buddy Guy's friend Eric Clapton have graced the stage for impromptu jam sessions. You never know who may show up on any given night!

    Casual, anything goes!

    The real Chicago Blues can be heard here all night, every night! There are two stages...continuous music. The kitchen doesn't serve anything fancy. Crowded and amoky and a lot of fun.

    Chicago has a great night life to offer - but one thing you shouldnt miss is the BLUES. Chicago has its own tradition of Jazz and Blues and there are numerous bars and places where you can listen to a blues band playing all night. We went to this nice club which had 2 big halls to accomodate about 100 people each .. though the cover charges of 15$ look steep but a few beers down you are having a great time.

    It caters for the more mature crowd who gather there after work - so mostly it is tshirts and jeans .. though I saw some shorts as well. It can get quite warm inside so better wear something light.

    A friendly place, with great music and musicians, that's a lot more impressive inside than it shabby exterior suggests. Owned by the Blue's legend Buddy Guy, the club gets rave reviews from the locals, and is arguably the best Blues club in the city. It's about 10 or 15 bucks for a night of Blues music, but you can turn up earlier in the day and enjoy a warm up session for free while you eat some excellent Cajun food. If you like what you hear, you can stick around and spend the rest of the evening there.

    Relaxed.

  • I put in a tip before on how the Blue Chicago is a tourist trap, but after having been another time since then, I'll have to say that this is also a good place to spend a night drinking and listenning to live music. The Blue Chicago has two locations on Clark street for which you pay 1 cover charge for. That's good since you can go to either bar and check out what's going on. The live acts at the Blue Chicago sorta seem to be the same every night. A new band plays but they have the same female singers. I went two months apart and the same woman was on stage with a new band singing the same Tracy Chapman song ....in the same way she did it last time. Annoying, but really, other then that, the place rocks.

    You can only wear styrofoam. Ok, anything goes.

    This is Chicago's oldest Blues bar. Opened in 1979 in Halstead and with music every night. A great night if your into Blues. The bar is small so its good to get there early.

    You can wear whatever you like. Pretty laid back in this club, dressing up would look out of place.

    In Chicago the blues rules, so go and see a band play, almost all of them are good, very good. To really get a taste of Chicago, you will have to go and see one of the bands play. There are also a few nite clubs which are ok if you are not used to better ones.
