Our Top Pick
The Underground Wonderbar | 10 E. Walton | (312) 266-7761
Established in 1989, this tiny venue is open 365 days a year. Live music is offered nightly to an incredibly eclectic group of patrons. Although, jazz and blues are the main focus, acoustic guitar and piano music are often featured, along with music ranging from Joplin, to Rap, to Marley, to Sinatra. Music begins at 8PM and continues to 4AM (5AM on Saturdays). Ordering or bringing in carryout food is acceptable. Truly a classic.
