Davenport's is my favorite place for karaoke. The karaoke host Steve and Alma are fabulous and fun. The acoustics are the BEST in town and the stage is simply glamorous!

4 Stars: Get reservations (by Mindy W.)

We learned to get reservations the hard way. This is a great little piano and caberet bar that caters to local talent. It's very small and there's not much room, so make sure you get a reservation if you have your heart set on going.

5 Stars: A Chicago treasure and a musical treat (by musicalmurph)

Davenport's is a unique, eclectic musical entertainment venue with honestly talented singing servers, diverse, high quality entertainment and a welcoming feel. Thankfully, in a time when DJs are the norm, Davenport's still provides live music 6 nights a week, and it's consistantly good. How wonderful that there is still a venue where Chicago's talented Cabaret performers can share their talents in a true 'listenning room.'

Meanwhile, in the outer chamber, you can put your talent to the test most nights at the piano bar, but if you do only one thing this summer, go on Friday or Saturday night to The Nitz & Howe Experience. These guys are brilliant! Daryl and George are laugh out loud funny, clever, adorable 'comedians', but don't kid yourself; they are gifted, talented singers/musicians as well. Part of what makes it so hilarious and fun to be a part of is George's expert musicianship. He makes it look so easy; he can accompany anybody on anything because he has a million great songs in him. And listen to these voices for a second in between the hilarity; George has a tenor that's a gift from God, and Daryl has a deep mellow baritone of which he has just begun to plumb the depths. Throw a party at Davenport's, or just end your evening with a cocktail at this late night Chicago treasure. Daryl and George will make you feel like family!

I love this place! I try to go as often as I can, the atmosphere is cool and the entertainment is great. The performers are all so talented...including the singing waitstaff. If you love to sing, you should try out their open mic...very supportive crowd.

Davenport's piano bar is a great time. There is a party atmosphere. The bar design is really cool and they get a great selection of world-class talent.
