We are extremely healty eaters, so a "pig-out" meal for us is something like a turkey burger, fries, and a couple of microbrews. This weekend we had the turkey burger at Harmony Grill and it's the best in town--juicy and delicious! I had the potato salad, which was excellent, and I tried some sweet potato fries and they were great. Drinks were equally excellent as was the service. read more

Harmony Grill is great. I go there a lot. They are busy outdoors in the summer with patio seating but typically you can get a wait with a short wait, if any. They have really good pork Tacos and cobb salad for dinner. Their brunch is fantastic and of course you can't miss that they have tater tots! Very comfortable and welcoming place. It is not too big, so you feel like it is a great Chicago local place. They are attached to Shuba's bar so they have a drinks as well. They have well marked Gluten free options on their menu as well! This place is great! I would definitely recommend people go here. read more

I happen to love this little spot in Lakeview for a slew of reasons. First and foremost, it was my neighborhood hangout when I lived in Chicago, so I'd stop in and get a beer with room mates and friends after work or grab dinner here on a Friday night. I also genuinely enjoyed their brunch and can honestly say I think their bloody mary is in the top 10 in the city. Second of all, they have great live shows (but beware, if you want a quiet atmosphere the nights when they have music may not be for you as it can be loud in the bar/restaurant sections of the building on those nights). Finally I never received bad service here--whether it was at the bar getting a beer or grabbing brunch on Sunday mornings, I was always promptly served and the waitstaff here is one of the friendliest bunches in Chicago! Love and miss you Schubas! read more

I was just here this weekend. My friends from the FLOREZ band were in town and they rocked the place. Not a place I would personally hang out at ( I'm not a bar girl), but it was a cool place and their cheap. We ordered 2 red bulls and a sprite and paid 7 bucks???!!! Seriously?!! I can't remember ever paying that for a red bull at a venue!!! read more

What a great place. Yes, the venue is small. But the acoustics are good and the cocktail servers work VERY hard and were fantastic about taking care of everyone and manuvering through the thick crowd. The attached restaurant is also good. read more

Such a unique place in an area that is turning so homogeneous with its bars. Don't want pumping club music that is a hallmark of most Southport venues? (I'm looking at you, Sopo and Galway) Then enjoy their live music and great band selection. Even the jukebox is amazing. The crowd is a mix (shaved and scruffy) and the drinks are reasonable and the parking is decent and you can even sit outside in warm weather. The place is at an intersection with a bank, a restaurant, and a liquor store...you could spend the whole weekend without traveling more than 30 feet. read more

Not sure I was at the same place as everyone else. I tried this place twice and just can't buy into their product. Mediocre at best. On top of that I feel like I inconvenience the staff when I come. That with food that is just ok - just does not work. read more

Dined here tonight and had the saddest excuse of a po boy sandwich I have ever had. I ordered the shrimp po boy for $11. When I got it, it contained a messily 4 shrimp, lettuce, tomato, and a flavorless remoulade sauce. I was appalled that a sandwich that costs you $11 would be served to a customer. The shrimp were so small they didn't even cover half of the bread it was served on. So I basically paid $2.75 a piece of shrimp. A unbelievable rip off and a sad ass excuse for a po boy. Definitely the last time I ever set foot inside of there. Serving bad food is one thing but ripping customers off is way worse. read more

I come here with every intention of seeing a show, but something always falls through. This time I came to see a band that was to be headling, according to Schuba's website, but instead opened. So I missed the band that I wanted to see. So what am I gonna do about it? Take the $6 I was going to spend at the door, and buy myself a drink at the bar. That's about what it will cost you for a well drink here. The bar itself has a nice atmosphere but I would rather drink cheaper and closer to home. read more

While I didn't find the Harmony Grill particularly rave-worthy, I can't praise Schubas highly enough! This is one of my favorite places I've ever seen live music. It's so small and intimate, with great acoustics. They book great bands, too, and maintain reasonable prices for the caliber of the artists and for the overall quality of the experience. High five, Schubas! read more

I have had lunch and drinks at Schubas a few times, but I finally went to a show there last weekend. It was great! The small, intimate back room was the perfect setting for such an amazing performance. And they have Matilda on tap...definitely a bonus. read more

A laidback, small venue with a nice atmosphere. I've never seen a bad show at Schubas.

I had been to Schubas a few times and always heard good things about Harmony Grill, so when a Groupon came up for them I jumped on it. I heard that they have awesome mac and cheese so I got a side of that along with their shrimp jambalaya. The mac and cheese was really awesome, so I think next time I go here I will definitely check that out, and the jambalaya was also pretty good as well. My "ex" also had the vegan burrito with chips and salsa. I had a bite of that as well, and it was pretty good as well. I've heard from a friend that they have a great bruncb, so I will have to check that out sometime if I can wake up before 11 AM on a weekend, probably not though. read more

This is a review for brunch. Initially I was skeptical walking through the empty bar, into the empty room with a stage which was strange, but then found the cute back room where many people were enjoying their Sunday morning. The atmosphere is very homey and American-ish, servers were friendly, and menu was awesome. There is so much variety and everything seems to be an interesting combination with a lot of flavor. My friend ordered the pork/corn patty option which was so delicious. Sundays Bloody Marys and mimosas are $5 which is a great deal; however you will pay full-price if using a Groupon. I would definitely go back here and also to check out the music. read more

From a sheer acoustic/musical appreciation standpoint Schubas is the best small venue in Chicago. On top of that, the front half of Schubas is an incredibly pleasant bar where one can settle down for a beer before the bands go on stage. A very nice place to be. read more

Very good prices for music and this club has seen some excellent musicians and bands come through both on a smaller and legendary status. The staff here is exceptionally nice and the music played inbetween bands and in non music part of the Tavern is always great. I feel really comfortable here and this is one of the best sounding spaces. Great sense of intimacy with the performers and usually a very respectful audience also make this an enjoyable experience. Fair selection of alcohol and pricing. Last, lighting is always good though it tends to be a little on the red side some nights, as a photographer it is usually possible to set to custom white balance for color or monochrome for black and white to still get some decent shots. read more

My favorite mac and cheese EVER! I recommend the mac and cheese with bacon and scallions. All of their other food is also good; soups, burgers, etc. I'm not a big breakfast fan, but it's always packed for brunch. Only problem is that it always smells like vinegar. read more

Great atmosphere, honest staff, good music, drinks & food. I left My credit card on the bar & our waitresse came out & found us as we were getting into our car. Thank You Schubas's for being so great. read more

Amazing. If you go, definitely go for music. It's an intimate venue with great acoustics. The bands I saw there rocked the house, everyone was dancing by the end even though I'm sure a lot of people walked in not knowing them. Drinks were pretty standard prices for Chicago, but I got a $3 beer as part of their daily deal. read more

My favorite venue in Chicago, nice acoustics, great acts. LOVE IT.

One of my favorite places to catch a show! Every show has sounded great, not too loud, not too soft volume levels that might otherwise distract one from enjoying the act they go to see. If you can't stand the entire set, get there early to scope out a place against one of the walls or be prepared to stand. I like the fact that it's a small, intimate space because many times the musicians feel comfortable enough to mingle amongst in the crowd. I went to a Rosie Thomas show during the winter and before the show started, there she was, right in front of me, talking with family and fans. And like Katherine R said, they don't pack em in the venue so you never feel like a human sardine. I'm going again in August and can't wait!! It's always a good time! read more

Maybe it was the particular venue...the myopenbarchicago.com party, but otherwise contrary to what everyone else says, Schubas was nothing to write home about. I do like the area where the bands play; it's spacious for dancing, but the fact that there was no coat check (c'mon...this is Chicago and it is winter. EVERY place needs to have a coat check.) the long narrow bar leading up to the theatre was unimpressive. The drinks were okay, decently priced, but I probably won't be going back. read more

okay I have never been here for the music, which is a shame. But I have been here for the half off macaroni and cheese on Wedensdays. It is a large portion for about $5, I definitley recommend adding tomato and bacon, it is served hot and cheesy with crunchy baked bread crumbs on top, DELICIOUS !! No more Kraft mac and cheese for this girl !! read more

I bit shabby but the place has character. They also have live music if that's your thing. Surprisingly, their mac 'n' cheese is amazing! FYI, if you make your reservation on their website via chat, you get a mini mac 'n' cheese for free! read more

Turkey burger there was crazy good, had all the flavor of a regular burger. Tots were good as well, not mushy. My boyfriend was raving about the pulled pork sandwich. Beer selection was ok, better than most but we are beer snobs, so hard to impress. Didn't damper our experence at all, I would definitely go back again, they had a lot of great choices and quality was superb. read more

Here to review the food not the music. Peps like me like to eat...lol. Red pepper turkey burger on focaccia was super flavorful n enjoyed every single bite! As we all know Ground turkey Doesnt carry the most flavor but guarantee schubas will change your thinkin! Only complaint is the proportion of meAt to bun ratio. Still fulling by all means but sometimes bites of bun is boring. Tots were decent but not hard to screw up. Would come back often just for this. read more

My favorite venue in Chicago! I love how small and intimate this place is! I have so many great memories of seeing some of my favorite performers here, and being right up against the stage inches away from their shoes! Really, no view in this place is a bad one. The sound is great, the performers they bring in are great, and even the Harmony Grill is great. Love Schubas! read more

I'm so happy I finally ventured to Schubas! Went with some friends Friday to see a friends band and it was all I imaged. Great spot for live music, cozy, not TOO crowded and a real homey feel for a quaint concert venue. Booze were good, beer was better and the vibe was great. Will definitely be back for future concerts! read more

Just went here for dinner before a show down the street. Nice old building with a great history. I made a meal out of the Maryland crab cakes and it was DELICIOUS. The kid did the same with chicken tenders. Service was great and the atmosphere is fun and interesting. read more

Great location for some drinks and live music. Service is usually pretty friendly and during the summer, it's a great place to hang out with friends and enjoy the Chicago atmosphere - great company, good drinks, and even better music. Stop next door at Harmony Grill for some decent food, too. read more

I love brunch and was looking for a new place to brunch on yelp a couple months ago. This place is an acceptable option. The staff was nice, though service was a little bit slow. Coffee was good, and my breakfast burrito was huge and tasty. Prices are reasonable too. If I'm in the area again for brunch, I might check it out, but I probably won't go out of my way to return here. I can't say much for Shubas as I've never been and probably wouldn't like the genre of music (rock and cover bands) but Harmony Grill is probably a nice place to go if you are going to a show at co-owned Shubas next door. read more

Schuba's Tavern goes down as one of those neighborhood bars that have been around forever and still have the charm from yesteryear. A long, old wooden bar, original bathrooms, cheap beer, and trinkets on the wall. I had a chance to go here with some friends to see a band but we missed the show. We sat around the bar enjoying the scene. read more

Went here with a friend of mine to grab a few beers as this is his local bar:) What a great place!!!

I did a brunch here one morning and this is the only thing to base my review on. I ordered a bloody mary and an omelet. The blood mary was fun as it came with an array of food on the stick in the drink. The drink itself wasn't strong, but it was tasty. The omelet was fine. I also recall the staff to be friendly. My only problem was this experience didn't set it far apart from anything else. I'm hoping to go back and explore more. I've heard plenty of good things. I just wasn't overwhelmingly happy with my experience. read more

Schuba's is a friendly little neighborhood bar that greatly enriches the Chicago live music scene. It is so intimate you can hear the bands rather than the people screaming conversation next to you. Drinks are not too terribly priced and I have never had a problem with parking! read more

Schubas is a great place to see live music for acts that haven't gotten too "big" yet. There isn't a huge bar in the back but just grab a beer and relax, you can get your fancy drink on elsewhere. Here, it's about an intimate setting for music. You'll have to stand. No matter, you wouldn't want to sit during a great live music show anyway, would you? Of course not. The staff is friendly and leaves you alone. Your feet don't stick to the floor. You aren't afraid to touch anything there and hey, there is more than one ladies restroom. Rock on! read more

This place is a tad pricey for portion size (except maybe the mac, which is nice and filling). They don't serve the great table bread they used to have. The selection has been paired down too. The potato empanadas are great, but small. Seating can be a pain here before shows and people hanging out but not eating. Food is decent. Parking in the hood is hard later on in the night (past 9pm) read more

I have been for both brunch and dinner and I am hooked. Eggs benedict with crab cakes? Why didn't i think of that! Chocolate bread pudding oh my! And I can't help but order a bloody mary whether or not It's brunch time. Now I love bloody marys and am happy to drink them around the clock a big factor for me is the garnish and Harmony's definitely wins. A gherkin pickle, garlic stuffed olive, cherry pepper, slice of salami, and a little cube of pepper jack cheese. Wow! read more

A great little venue with excellent acoustics and very friendly staff. My favorite part, however, is the coat hooks lining the walls. Silly, perhaps, but in a crowd that I trusted (I took all valuables out) it was nice to be able to put my coat out of the way, especially since I saw no coat check. Buy your tickets in advance from their website and enjoy a free appetizer with a yummy dinner at the attached restaurant. read more

A bar that isn't full of jerks! They have their fair share, but there's also normal people just trying to have a beer. Oh, and indie kids here to see a band. I really like how small the concert area is - it's an old theater so it looks cool and sounds good. The jukebox is great and the prices are hard to beat. I check their lineup about once a month to see who is playing - but this is also a good place to have a beer. read more
