I'm so glad that I happened upon this place because it's one of the best late night live music spots that you can come across. I'm not sure if there was an established band that was on stage beforehand, but while I was there, it seemed like there were a lot of local acts and just super talented folks who were there jamming on stage. I loved every minute of it. There's a small bar there which I could imagine could get easily packed and overrun during a busy night but overall the drinks were fine. They do have seating areas, low chairs like the speakeasy vibe to enjoy the entertainment, but they also have a lot of space to dance and stand if you need to. I'll be back for sure, but you should also check it out.

We arrived on time, were seated, and the concert started on time. The acoustics are great and our seats were in a good spot. We used their concession stand to get water and snacks - because we bought our tickets and paid for the concessions using a Chase card, we were given a big discount - nice. We'll continue to go to the Chicago theater when they have shows we want to see. It's a great theater and a wonderful experience.

I like its ornate décor, the stadium style seats set-up which offers good stage view, the acoustics, and the overall aesthetics of this venue which makes it an ideal place to watch live events. On my recent (late June 2026) visit to see The Human League, Soft Cell, and Alison Moyet for the Generations tour, overall, I had a good experience. There were couple of issues that we had such as lack of cool air circulation inside the auditorium (it was hot and sweaty) and a couple of people standing throughout the show to dance, blatantly blocking other peoples' view and not caring about being inconsiderate and uncourteous to people behind them to which the theatre ushers had no problem with it. Otherwise, I have not had issues at this venue. So, 4.5 stars but rounded up to five. I look forward to going back here.

I had a nice time at Winter's Jazz Club for a recent show. It is easy to get to from Navy Pier and…read moremakes for a fun night out. The club itself is quite small, so there's not really a bad seat in the house. General admission was fine for us. You will be packed in tight with those around you. It gets pretty loud in there too, so consider ear plugs if you have sensitive ears. Service was a little spotty. Our server was friendly, but I think she was the only one working, so she did not come back after delivering our first round. There is a drink minimum which is annoying given that tickets are not cheap. Drinks were just okay and quite overpriced in my opinion, but I did appreciate that there were a lot of non-alcoholic options. There are restrooms outside Winter's in the common hallway shared with other businesses. Since they're shared with a few restaurants, they did get pretty busy and at times needed a little bit of attention. Overall, I think Winter's is a fun place to go once or twice, but I'm not sure I'd frequent it often when there are better deals in the city.

Loved the char and soft texture of the bread. I might go with pretzel or nachos next time. Great menu options! Servi e staff were running and seemed stressed fun the moment they opened. Definitely working very hard. Would have loved to see them smiling and having fun too. Well definitely be back when I'm in town.

Also if you can find street parking it will save you some cash that you can spend at the venue buying some of the touring bands merch!

Came to see a sold out show and was shocked to see the line to get in wrapped around the entire building. Our wait in line was approximately 30-40 minutes and once we got in, I could already tell the place was not suitable for thousands of people. Inside the venue, there were easily 2,000+ people, although the max capacity is listed at 1250. The bartender himself said he wouldn't attend a sold out show at the House of Blues due to the over-selling and decreased safety. I don't even know how this place passes fire safety checks. If you have anxiety or don't enjoy insanely huge crowds, I would not recommend coming here. Oh, and the drinks are overpriced. No surprise there

We loved our experience at Andy's Jazz Club!…read more We went to the first seating & were seated very close to the big jazz band in the front of house. The service was attentive and swift! We had some nice nicely executed cocktails (I love a good dirty martini) and some scrumptious crabcakes to start! Burgers were the entrée of the evening and they were cooked to perfection. The band was outstanding the night we were there - there had to be 16 to 18 people, playing together with perfect, experienced execution of every song. The singers they brought on really stole the show - the blonde gal in the black satin evening gown (who was absolutely incredible) and one of the gentlemen (who was also playing an instrument) did a really great job of playing off of each other (but she was an absolute 15 on a 10 scale - from the outfit, to the spectacular voice, to the whole vibe of being the lead singer with a big jazz band - we agreed we would definitely love to see HER again). Highly recommended you go and experience this lovely jazz club! We had a five star experience!

It is not a fancy bar, it is a "mom & pop's" hence the name Mom's Place. We didn't get a chance to check out the live music on the other side, but it seems people were having fun in every room.
