Kingston Mines

LOVE this place, the dual stages with rotating artist is brilliant. GREAT artist / music here, and cold beer . Be sure to stroll to the back for lip licking ribs , fired catfish , delicious soul food ????

This blues club has earned its reputation not just for its size (two stages in adjoining rooms), but also its endurance (open since 1968) and late-night hours (4 a.m. most nights, 5 a.m. Saturdays). Read more

A Chicago institution. Really talented musicians & performers . If you like jazz , this is the place. I like the way they switch stage & performers in different rooms.

I play guitar though no threat to these talented bands. You will get lost as you feel the soul of this classic place for Blues . Enjoy, sing loud and float on that heavenly guitar sound.

Fun place! There are 2 stages where musicians alternate and keep the place busy. One of te coolest places I've been while visiting Chicago.

Great blues music and a fun, lively audience. Delicious rib join in the back and free entry for students! (except Friday)

Amazing! Try the doc' swings and the nachos , they are amazing. The live music and the all around atmosphere is great. Another great Chicago blues club!

One of my favourite bars in Chicago hands down. Wednesday is perfection!

Sunday night Doc's Blues Jam , Get there before 8:30 p.m. and get in free for the whole evening. Get your hand stamped and you can go to B.L.U.E.S. across the street for free too.

Buffered by fatty, sauce-covered rib tips ($12) or a po’ boy sandwich loaded with fried catfish , crab cakes or blackened chicken ($8.50), you won’t mind that you paid a $12 cover. Read more

Its late hours, regular acoustic blues sets, all-night kitchen, and vibrant neighborhood full of shops, restaurants , and other entertainment recommend this club as a top blues destination. Read more
