So go on-line and reserve your spot if you're planning to attend. We saw a local talent, (singer Tammy McCann) and she was excellent.

I've been coming for years The cost of admission is budget friendly and they do a great job of featuring famous musicians as well as local talent.

The musicians were excellent and you can tell they have passion within their souls. A must-to-visit!

Winter's is a smaller, intimate venue with a nice sex appeal to it. Good for a date or with a couple other jazz loving friends. You can grab tix on their website or get seats at the bar which is nice as well. General and VIP seating can be a little tight, but as I mentioned, its a small, intimate space. My boy Thaddeus Tukes has a monthly residency here with his band and they are simply amazing! Always a good show from them. The only issue I have here is the drink service n the seating area can be slow as the servers dont seem very good at coming around often or keeping an eye out for when someones drink is low and to come over and ask if another is needed. Aside from that, Winter's is a good joint for some good Chicago jazz!

Awesome Blues spot with a great vibe!…read more We had been wanting to go here for years. So glad we did. John Primer and crew were the act. So talented. We met the owner, Tony Mangiullo, who was very nice to speak to, and the band through one of the many guests there we met. Everyone we met was fun and kind and the vibe was great. Bartenders were hard working and made some great drinks. A lot of people ordered pizza and some people we just met even shared a slice with us! Blues are an awesome part of our history. Rosa's honors the Blues and is just a great place. Will be back again

He emailed the non-profit and signed up for a group tour of the landmark on June 9th. Tours are only done by appointment. We were in the city during Chicago Blues Festival, so this was their very active time of the year. Our tour guide, the Executive Director of the BHF, was telling us how their was a private concert the night before. The tour is amazing, and starts on the ground level in their gallery (which has rotating works on display). Then you get to see Chess Records offices and also go upstairs to sit in the recording studio. From my gift shop, I bought a key chain and a tee-shirt for my husband. Proceeds go to the works of the Foundation, which include educational youth programs, assistance to musicians, and outreach to the community. Right next to the building is a small fenced off garden where concerts are held during the summer. Note: You can take still pictures but absolutely no video or audio recording. They are very strict about this and will remind you about it. No joke.

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!

The music was fantastic, and the ambiance made the whole experience feel very special and authentically Chicago. The service was good, and it's definitely a great place to enjoy live jazz and have a few drinks.

Definitely a great spot for a night of jazz, drinks, and a nice atmosphere!

Ambiance was great, dark and moody. Service was prompt at first. We paid extra for stage view…read moreseats, which was ok. I don't think $10 a person was necessarily worth it though, as we were seated far away from the stage. Performers would occasionally come around to get money after their performance, which where we were seated we couldn't see a whole lot of the performers, but yet paid extra for it. Ordered my last drink and never got it, thankfully they didn't charge me for it. Living in Las Vegas I guess I'm used to a higher leave of expectations without being charged an additional 18% service charge, especially since I paid additional money for our seats and didn't get the last drink I ordered. Save your money and check out The Bassment or Untitled instead.

BUT somehow Chey S. Still decided to alter my receipt and give her a $10 tip. Which I did not give her. To which is also illegal. If this surcharge that they claim allows for them to take care of their employees - then why are they stealing from their customers? Anyone who comes here or has been here- take pictures of your receipts after you've signed and totaled them. I see in the reviews Chey S. Is a commonly denominator in bad reviews. Not sure why she's still employed here. Committing crimes and businesses letting it slide isn't a good look. Still waiting on my refund of $10 for that check 72 from Thursday the 23rd at 11:39pm that I have yet to receive! Idc to pay the $20 for one mediocre drink, but stealing is completely unacceptable. And it being excused even more so. Unfortunately I don't live in Chicago or I would've filed a police report, since this is FRAUD AND THEFT. Just beware of anyone who visits. I SIGNED to pay $20.91 not $30.91. There was a big fat ZERO tip for a reason. SO for check #72, I'll be waiting for that refund.

This is an absolute Chicago Summer MUST!…read more I did this 2 years ago for the first time, and again last night. Buy your tickets ahead of time on the shedd website; and go with a group. $25/person for a 5 hour entryway into all exhibits of the shedd - sea otters, dolphins, you name it. Oh and upon entry, you get a wristband so you can walk around while drinking wine! Tip - buy a bottle of wine, way cheaper, but if you're dying to see exhibits, do them first before you buy the wine because a lot of them don't allow food/drinks in the area. After you see the fishies, buy food from the vendor tables and head outside to get a table to listen to the jazz and stay at least until 9:30pm to see the fireworks show. I don't know why I've lived here for 5 summers and only done this twice, I'll be back!

The food takes a minute to come out after being ordered (45 mins) but it was piping hot and fresh. The ambiance was nice. They were playing old school Luther so it was vibe.
