Schubas Tavern and Lincoln Hall

Schubas Tavern: "This small club books some of the best indie touring acts around, but leaning toward the acoustic singer-songwriter end of the spectrum, and month-long residencies from local groups with a national profile. You can hang out in the front bar area without paying cover for the shows; if you’re under 21, go straight to the back room, which stages plenty of all-ages and over-18 shows. The Harmony Grill serves up a mean brunch on weekends." - Timeout Chicago Lincoln Hall was built and opened in October 2009 and has a capacity of 500 people, 300 more than its older sister Schubas. It won Chicago Reader's "Best Of Chicago" Best Music Venue in 2011 and 2012. Some of the biggest acts to play Lincoln Hall so far include Wilco, Fiona Apple, James Blake, The Weeknd, M83, Mumford & Sons, and The Walkmen.
