The Scene – Established in the mid '90s when Chicago's music scene was grabbing national attention, the club has emerged as an essential gig for bands transitioning from small bars to larger venues. The main floor offers limited table seating but there's a long bar for easy drink access; between-set options include pool tables and pinball machines on the lower level (with closed-circuit televisions to monitor the action upstairs), or upscale wine choices and intimate seating more conducive to conversation on the mezzanine. – – The Draw – The club's rotation of emerging…
Editor's Tips

The Blissters
by artistnow
I have been a loyal fan of The Blissters for a couple years. I eagerly awaited to see them play at the Double Door the other night Unfortunately, I was very disappointed to see that they blew. They sounded like an ugly lump of unlistenable trash made for people with no taste. Did you go temporarily deaf? You guys are nothing more than prefabricated wanna be pop stars with no identity whatsoever.

Great place to see a rock show!
by ethansaunders
This is hands down the best 21+ club in the city. The sound is amazing and the atmosphere is dark, smoky and seedy, just how a rock club should be! The bartenders are all very courteous and fast, and the beer specials are pretty reasonable for a music venue. Plus the basement bar and the photo booth are pretty cool as well.
- Pros: Great live sound, cheap drinks, good music of local and national live music acts.
- Cons: Hard to find parking, does not serve food

great place to see a live act
by lurchl
The sound is top-shelf, the sight lines are great from almost everywhere in the venue. Drinks are a bit pricey, but there are deals to be had now and then. One of the best venues in the city.

best sound
by johnnyvomit
Good views everywhere and good sound is consistent. They only need to add some more washrooms(like downstairs) PBR's are the killer deal!!!!!
