Subterranean 2011 West North Avenue, Chicago, IL 60647

"It's an amazing smaller music venue. The atmosphere was just as great as the service at the bar. It's location is in a great part of town and is easy to find. I'll definitely be coming back in the near future."

"I don't think they serve food here. You come here to see your favorite performers, have a few drinks, and get up close. It's a classic Chicago venue that's been around for decades. Old school atmosphere. There is a second balcony that's like a small catwalk with a bar and restrooms. If you get there early enough you can get a spot on the railing, else it's difficult to see anything. The main floor is where it's at. Always a safe and good time."

"Dark, intimate venue with 2 floors that has a older speak-easy-almost charm - I went to a Saturday "Riot! at the Disco: Emo and Pop Punk all night" DJ event and the place was packed and so vibrant - couldn't help getting caught up in everyone's excitement! Staff was really great and very efficient - security was ever present and vigilant just in case, which is great when a lot of drunk people are moshing at each other all night! The drinks are affordable - cans, bottles, drafts what have you - and I can attest that the Long Island I had might've been the strongest and best value I've had in Chicago (without tasting like it - man that bartender hooked me up)! It was super crowded when we went (honestly probably past fire code) but thank goodness for 2nd floor near the railing - I think it was less loud and honestly better to hear up there without the sweaty standing-room only moshing (personally - it was fun to watch but I was glad I wasn't in it). It was a blast! Coat check was full - Be prepared to carry / keep your winter gear on you and also dress lightly - the place was overly warm due to all the people and dancing. I also highly recommend bringing concert-level ear protection - this place is small and gets LOUD! Overall, fun and unique venue."

"Cool venue for live shows. We saw Princess Chelsea on 12/09 and watched the whole thing from the 2nd floor balcony. Will definitely keep an eye on the bands stopping through here."

"Went here for a local hip hop show and it was a blast with some great performers and a very cool vibe. Bartender was friendly. Cool venue overall but it should be noted that it isn’t at all based underground like one of the articles I read about it suggested (unless you count the restrooms)"
