House of Blues Chicago provided me with one of the worst nights of my life. Went to a punk show last weekend and got BEAT by a group of the security staff. Apparently I was too drunk in the mosh pit from the WAY OVERPRICED alcohol they served me. I have witnesses stating I was leaving peacefully with them telling my friends I'd meet them outside after the show. I was being asked to leave, no big deal even though I dont think I was deserving of even that. Next thing I know I'm in a back room, my brother gets put into handcuffs and has his head smashed against a wall and when I try to protest (vocally) I was on the ground getting stomped, punched and kicked by the security staff. Not just body shots, but hits to the head. I was in law enforcement and that is called LETHAL FORCE. And no surprise the staff had a Chicago police sargent on the team. I managed to snap a picture of one of the guys and my injuries. Eventually this place will go down. I strongly recommend going anywhere else. Even if you dont get beat up like me, your wallet will and its all gonna go to the lousy staff.
Pros: good bands booked
Cons: Security with rage, beatings, overpriced drinks, possible death
