Aragon Ballroom

Great classic theater right in Chicago. Very intimate environment inside makes it great for music performances, and they have a large variety of genres of music. It's not a pretentiously "hip" music club, it's a down to earth, fun place to catch a show. Second level with a lounge and bar for people who just like to sit around, but if you like to get close to the music the Aragaon is the kind of theater you want. The theater attracts a diverse crowd of music lovers, anyone can fit in.

PROS: great classic theater environment
CONS:

This is a really cool place to see a concert! For the near future the only types of music that will be playing there will be Pop-Punk and Latino, but other types will be there soon! It is a great place to go to and enjoy music with friends! It's also an amazing old building from the mid-1920's (1926 to be exact!). Check it out!

Inspired by the castles of Aragon, Spain, this is a very cool venue. We saw The Offspring here and had a wall-banging good time. Good el access, but street parking is difficult. It's not in a horrible neighborhood but watch your back. Have fun!

If the band is good, definitely go! This is the type of place that acts go to when they are on their way up or down. Very large venue with a large open area up top with a lounge and second bar. Not exactly a classy joint, but tons of fun none the less. The El train brings you within a block, so take it.
