The Scene – House of Blues opened its fourth restaurant-concert hall at the base of the famous "corn cob" buildings of Marina City in 1996. Host to a mix of blues, jazz, funk, rap and world musicians of varying notoriety, this spot is also a popular dining spot. HOB's upstairs music hall is decorated with Southern outsider art. Sight lines on the main floor are terrific, sound is almost as stunning, and if you don't mind standing (little seating is available), this is the place to be. There are private boxes reserved for VIPs and industry folks, but standing room in the lower balcony is…

Best Concert Venue in Chicago

by Big Sky VIP at Citysearch

Owning a VIP Concierge service I go to almost every show and venue in Chicagoland. The House of Blues is by far the best venue we have sent clients and have personally gone to. From Jay Z to ZZ Top~Crystal Method to UFO every show has blown us away in this unique intimate setting. We now go for renting a Private Opera box for every show. ( these do sellout so act fast when you see a show coming) With waitress service to the opera box during show means you will not miss a beat! Have a truly amazing dinner experience in the Foundation Room dining room or go down to the back porch and have a Blues Burger ( My Fav). The only draw back is they will not let me move in!

  • Pros: Unique Private Opera boxes
  • Cons: I can't live there!
