The beautiful wood-accented back room of this 100-year-old building is one of the city 's best places to catch local acts before they get big, while the front bar serves up a mean mac'n'cheese. Read more

Great beers , bartenders , and brunch . Oh and some of the best live shows the city has to offer. Check the calendar and go see one!

Brad Saxon

The omelettes at brunch are fantastic. If you're here for lunch or dinner , I highly recommend the Mac & cheese . You can add whatever you want to it and make it taste amazing. Get funky with it.

Tana Babcock

Great venue, nice bar setup (maybe 40s? 30s?) food looks amazing too. Particularly the mac & cheese . Schlitz on tap because it used to be a Schlitz brewery .

Chicagoist

Intimate room? Warm décor? Check. Cool bands? Check. Mac and cheese ? Check. Schubas was right away one of my favorite places to see a concert in the city . Read more

Anna-Karin Berglund

Great place to play if you're a band. Fantastic sound, good stage, nice staff , air-conditioned green room, great food especially the vegan burrito . Best venue on this tour !

Diego Rufo

Spoon, Wilco, Neko Case, My Morning Jacket ... You can see some of the best up and coming bands in the country here. If you're not in the mood for music , you can take a couple well made cocktails . Read more

Tim Mulcrone

One of my absolute favorite music venues in Chicago and it serves some of the best mac n cheese in the city , too!

RCRD LBL

The back room's a great size and has the best touring and local indie acts. The front room is where everybody knows your name. Check them out on Facebook - they're always giving away tickets to fans.

Bill I Am T

Come to see one of many great shows and while the band is warming up you can get ready for a long night out with the Mac'N'Cheese. I love it with the pulled pork and broccoli .

Tornaparts !

Its Schubas man! ...the best bands in the city play here. They don't let my band play here. Stroll in, pick up a $10 Schlitz and groove. This is where its at.

The Feast

If you can't squeeze into the front, stake out a spot just in front of the soundboard. The view 's decent, the sound's perfect, and best of all, you're beer-line adjacent for the whole show.

Emily S.

Intimate music venue with more small act performers . The sister of Lincoln Hall.

L K

Intimate concert venue . Cozy . Good beer specials .

Digital Tour Bus

This venue not only has an awesome room for shows, but they also have a sit-down restaurant that serves breakfast , lunch and dinner ! So, grab a bite to eat before the show. You won't be sorry!

Kooter

Might be small, but this place is great. Live music and the people are amazing. Decent prices, too.

Julia Sergeeva

You can always sneak inside and listen to some nice bands live when the guy at the door isn't around ( which happens pretty often).

Cole B

Awesome bar for a night with friends or to see great music . If hungry Mac & Cheese is great and it's half price on Wednesdays.

Chicagoist

Here, there are several live lit shows you can catch in Chicago this winter. Guts & Glory, hosted by Keith Ecker and Samantha Irby, is never a disappointment. Read more

WillMcD

Great music venue . Reminds me of NYC's Mercury Lounge .

Joseph B.

I like Schuba's for it's neighborhood bar vibe, good service , and cheap drinks .

Karen R.

Fun music venue but gets so packed that you can't fully enjoy or see the performers even if you arrive early and get a table.

Chioke McRae

Cool place in Lakeview with nice wine , service and amazing buffalo chicken tenders .

Rebecca Luna

Nick Holroyd

Best music venue in the United States !

Sei Jin Lee

For some sold out shows, show up an hour early and grab something to eat. When someone shows up at the door for the music room ask if there's any tickets being sold at the door and you may have a shot

I love Schubas, but $14 for a blind russian in essentially a sippy cup filled with ice? C'mon guys....

Justine G.

Good place to see a show.

Brendan Fitzpatrick

The Mayor gets their 2nd drink (draught beer , glass of wine , or well drink ) FREE every time they come in! Let the games begin :)

Shaun May

All the food is great and the service is awesome

Gentlemen Hall

Beautiful venue, and great beer selection !

Use the parking lot next door. Street parking isn't the easiest or cheapest.

Claudine Patel

Amazing chocolate bread pudding and beer selection !

Tom Walsh

My coffee 's temperature ranged drastically throughout my dining experience

Go for a show. Leave after the show. Go to a different bar on Southport or Lincoln.

I've been to some amazing concerts here. It's nice that there's a ton of seating on the balcony, though it means the fairly small floor can be horribly over-packed. Practically next to the L. - Dana Jensen
