The Venue – The Vic Theatre was built in 1912--the sign reading "no moshing, body surfing" came a bit later. The concerts at the Vic cover a wide musical landscape; it's a great place for live music. You might see Jackson Browne one night, PJ Harvey or Leftover Salmon the next. The Vic's top-notch acoustics can accommodate them all. With plenty of seating on the main floor, it's comfortable--unless jammed to capacity, as it was for a 1998 David Bowie show. The elegant balconies and gold-painted ornamentation are the most obvious evidence of the theater's rich history. – –…

Good concert atmosphere

by aeh5458

This venue has good acoustics and a laid-back atmosphere. The space is medium-sized but still felt intimate. They seem to host a pretty good range musical styles and I always check out what shows they have coming up, usually an interesting line-up.

Best Music Venue in the City

by alhweber

By far, this is the best place to see a show in all of Chicago. It's old, stately, quaint and has great views and even better acoustics.

I saw the Radiators jam there in one of the better shows I've ever seen.

The Brew and View movie showings they do are awesome as well. Go see a show here!
