The Gospel Brunch is the best part of the Sunday experience at the House of Blues. The food is soooooooooooo good, and the simultaneous live entertainment makes the moment even more uplifting and memorable. I definitely would go back on

Get there early for concerts as the lines can wrap around the block. The food is sort of TG Fridays meets it;s creole cousin, but overall it's fine. Popular contcert venue.
4My family came to last Sundays Gospel Brunch and had the best time. Getting into the venue and getting seated was very well organized along with getting our food and Mamosas. The food was out standing along with the sweets table. The hand

Pros: Quality food and service
I've seen security act completely ridiculous at House of Blues Chicago. They are aggressive for no reason on patrons who are much smaller and causing no trouble. It's like they are just waiting to get their pent up aggression out. I was

Pros: It's in an awesome location, right on the river.
Cons: abusive security, horrible, disorganized staff. Lack of concern for their patrons. Horrible sightlines.
The music venue is nice, everything else about HOB is quite miserable.\r

I went to a show over the summer, and the security staff is one of the worst you will ever have to deal with. These knuckledraggers were roughing up kids left and

House of Blues Chicago provided me with one of the worst nights of my life. Went to a punk show last weekend and got BEAT by a group of the security staff. Apparently I was too drunk in the mosh pit from the WAY OVERPRICED alcohol they

Pros: good bands booked
Cons: Security with rage, beatings, overpriced drinks, possible death
What a scam! Went for a concert (queensryche) and it was a joke. First off the tickets said it started at 7:30. Well no music till 10:00! When they did play it was only for an hour and new music and only two popular songs. Good way to get

Cons: Just a big scam
It's just a great place to enjoy with friends. Everyone who works there, from the merchandise store to the door people and resturant are all kind and welcomiing.

Not only does this place have a great name, a great reputation, and a great location, but the gospel brunch was up to standard. It was fairly expensive, but definitely worth the show! I went there w/ my whole family and we had a blast.

I have not been in another venue that appeals to so many of my sense at one time. From the emense collection of folk art, to the smell of nangchampa insense pumped thorugh the place, to what it stands for, and of course the muisc, WHO CAN

Just because a venue has the word "Blues" in it's name doesn't make it a Blues Bar. This place is way too sanitized and offers too wide range of entertainment to be call such. Give me either gritty joint on North Halsted, B.L.U.E.S. or

The restaurant was good but somewhat overpriced for our dinner. In our group of 8 we had good service and a nice time but downstairs didn't get a really good band. We'll be back, don't ever give up on a blues venue.

after hearing rave reviews about house of blues, i went out of my way when i visited chicago. the restaurant's decor is great and interesting. foodwise- it was boring same old cajun stuff. not being a meat-eater, i lost out and didn't

Pros: decor, little wait for table
Cons: limited choices food, smart-ass waiter
In spite of the name, this venue rarely books blues acts. It is mostly rap, country, or death metal acts that play at this woefully expensive, sterile River North abomination.

Anyone who thinks this place is a great place to see live music has never crossed south of Madison ave. Overpriced, not enough seating, and a complete corprate enviroment (which spills over into the service.)
Do yourself a favor and

THE HOUSE OF BLUES RATES TOPS IN MY BOOK. EVERY CONCERT THAT I HAVE BEEN TO HAS BEEN GREAT. IT'S A SMALL PLACE BUT THE SHOWS ARE HOT LIKE THEY ARE IN A LARGE CONCERT HALL. THE DRINKS ARE GOOD, ESPECIALLY THE VOODOO LEMONADES! I SUGGEST

If you can ignore the overdone decor, you might enjoy the HOB. Try the Cobb Salad and the cornbread. While the food is generally good, the concert venue is even better. The sight lines are fantastic - there isn't a bad seat in the

I love going to see live concerts at The House of Blues. The gospel brunch is another great draw. If you can, go to the Foundation room. The view is nice and the staff is friendly.

The stage is so close that you see the sweat of the performers. My only bit of advice is to get therre early so you can grab a seat or table. Standing for the entire show can wear out your feet. But, the stage is so close that it's all
