I'll break this down into the three main Schuba's experiences: Music: An intimate back room venue with live music seven nights a week. The most recent show I went to (Revolver and Belle Brigade) completely blew me away and both artists were relatively unknown (plus tickets were only $10). The sound was great and the server kept the beer flowing. Bonus: Got to hang out with the band afterwards at the bar. Harmony Grill: Good food at decent prices. Your typical bar fare, plus a variety of interesting sandwich and entrée options (Cuban sammy, vegan burrito, gumbo, etc.). The restaurant area is cool, well kept, and usually pretty crowded (in a good way). Always impressed by the wait staff. Bar: Nothing special here - just a chill bar. They have eight or so beers on tap so you can usually find a draft that will make you happy. They charge only a little more for the good stuff (Bells, Delirium, imports, etc.) then the domestics which almost encourages you to drink the better beer. Good place to grab a drink pre-show or post-dinner. read more

What do 4-leaf clovers, bears, pineapple juice, Elvis, jellyfish and Schubas have in common? They are all cool as hell. This place books real, current, powerful acts to play in their cozy venue on a regular basis. Tickets are priced really well, and they do a lot to discourage scalping. Their website is easy to navigate too. So basically, they've got the whole 'live music venue' thing under control. Beer selection is above average, and they even have some decent scotch if you're into that stuff. Also had some Cajun shrimp tacos, highly recommended. Bottom line, I have lots of respect for this authentically cool place and the acts they bring. read more

Schubas is a great place to catch a band before they get big and move on bigger rooms. If you like the band- see them here. When they are playing the Aragon in a few years, you'll be able to say "I saw them way back when they were playing small rooms"- your friends will be jealous. The sound is always great, and they never oversell the room- there is always enough space to move around. Plus, its usually pretty cheap. I haven't paid more than 15 bucks to see a band. The bar is also excellent- its a great place to hang out even if you aren't seeing a show. The drinks are reasonable and the bartenders are friendly. read more

There is a reason Paste Magazine named Schubas one of the top 40 best live music venues in the USA. It truly is as good as you can get! I have had the pleasure of both watching and playing shows here! And all were amazing experiences! First off the food in the Harmony grill is fantastic, they have a bunch of great vegan options and the staff is always wonderful! You can usually get in before a show as well to eat! They got Schiltz Beer on tap and the bar tenders are always great! Now the music room and the Harmony grill are separated so you can just go to hang out and not have a show in the back ground or you can just come in to go to the show! The music room is as good as they come, Big enough for wonderful booming sound, but intimate enough to also feel like you are right there with the artist playing! Last time we were there we had a sound engineer who had just got off the road with the Silver Jews! She was great and really good at running sound! I also love how the shows here always start and end when advertised! They run a tight ship, and the ship always reaches land! Never sinking! I love this place! read more

BEST. OMELETS. EVER. The Luigi (smoked chicken-apple sausage, roasted peppers, fresh basil & mozzarella) AND The Popeye (mushrooms, organic baby spinach and goat cheese) are THEBOMB.COM. I try to limit myself to using that term once-a-year, but trust me that the beignets(!!!) and the migas (if you're feeling bold @ brunch... & not hungover...) are bomb-a-licious as well. Harmony Grill is my all-around favorite for Chicago brunch (with Sola winning the fancy brunch division, and M.Henry winning the pain-in-the-ass-line-but-worth-it category). GO. NOW. *actually, go in 45 minutes, so you don't beat me to a table. read more

Schuba's is good stuff. It's small, it's intimate, and the acoustics are great. I've been here a few times and have always had a great time. A couple weeks ago I was working for a band here and I have to say, the staff here runs like a well oiled machine. Most everyone I encountered was super cool, and watching them run soundcheck was awesome - they were moving quickly and working well together like they do this every day... oh, but I guess they do. ;) I do wish their merch area was a little bigger or had a better set up, but a girl can dream... So why 3 stars? Well, I was going to go with 4 because I am, as Yelp says, a fan. But there was an incident 2 weeks ago at the show I was working the infuriated me - a guy came in who was obviously very, very drunk. At first it was funny, but as he continued to hit on my friend and grab her ass after she told him she wasn't interested, things went downhill rapidly. He became very belligerent, and then he started being an ass - not just to us, but to every woman around us. Grabbing asses, stumbling around, acting like a fool, you get the idea. (And it wasn't that kind of show.) And yet, the bartender kept serving him. I stepped out to the guy working the little podium outside and gave him a heads up that he was overserved, and that they might want to a) cut him off and b) keep an eye on him. He said he would take care of it. His idea of taking care of it? Popping his head in and not even seeing the guy, and leaving. The guy continued to be a drunk asshole, and at one point I lost my shit and had to yell at him in order for him to finally leave us alone. And the bartender kept on serving him! In the grand scheme of things, not a big deal I guess. More important things in life, blah blah blah. But he definitely made the show unenjoyable for a brief time for me and others around him - and the fact that the staff kept serving him and did nothing about him in general just wasn't cool. read more

Harmony is a good stop for some good food. I've come here for breakfast a few times and I went to a wedding at Schuba's that was catered by the kitchen staff and the food's been alright. I really disagree with the restaurant's (and other reviewers') assertions that they have the "best Bloody in town." They seem to be using a pre-made mix that isn't even very spicy. I'm not sure why these would be considered "best" since you can just get the same thing at a dozen other restaurants nearby. The Bloody wasn't bad, it just wasn't great enough to mention as a selling point of coming here. Breakfast is deece and tasty. The corned beef hash was yummo and they always bring a side of toast for your eggs, which is welcome by me. The wedding I attended had a Mac and Cheese bar that was good, but maybe it's better to order an individual entree to see what everyone else is raving about. Since it was served buffet style, it just tasted like mac and cheese that had been sitting over a sterno fire for a half hour. Not a bad place to grab a meal. Prices are right, full bar is available, and sometimes you can hear the music from next door. They have a quaint outdoor seating area and space for groups of six. Parking is pretty accessible during the day on Southport or Belmont but I imagine it's next-to-impossible to find at night. read more

Schubas is an intimate, comfortable, cozy venue. I absolutely loved the look and feel of this place. I saw 3 different artist show off their skills last night and I woke up this morning ready to download at least one song from each group. $10 to see 3 great shows in one night, thank you! The acoustics in this place are beautiful! I knocked off one star b/c they served me my Goose Island Indian Pale Ale in a plastic cup. What's up with that? I noticed other patrons with real glasses, do I just have Hot-mess written all over me? I concluded that the bartender was just too lazy to wash more glasses at the end of the night. Fair enough, but please, don't charge $6 for a beer served in a flimsy plastic cup. I'll be back over and over again. PS. I didn't see the photobooth that was mentioned in a previous review. read more

My first experience with Harmony Grill came on a day when I was trapped at the Atheneum Theater all day for two runs of the Finale show of Dance Chicago...but enough about me. The truth is, any food would have been well accepted by the ravenous group of tap dancers who set upon Harmony Grill that day, yet the food we ate there far surpassed any of our hopes, dare I say, for the entire day. Most of us ordered brunch items, all of which we loved and ate all of. We enjoyed the Intelligentsia coffee as well and left with a little skip in our step (yes, as tap dancers we often have this, but the skip was notably skippier.) I returned at a later date for brunch with my boyfriend, curious to discover if my previous delight in Harmony Grill was inspired by desperation or deliciousness. I was pleased to find it was the latter. read more

Was going to see a show after work so called ahead a few hours to get a reservation just to make sure my growling tummy didn't interrupt the singers. Coincidentally, we were seated right next to the band we were going to see. Now, this review is saying a lot. I tend not to write reviews on restaurants unless I am so impressed one way or another. The mac and cheese here is that impressive. It's a dream for mac and cheese lovers. To top it off, the wait staff was super friendly and courteous. The ambiance very cozy and reminded me of several pubs I'd visited a while back in Scotland. read more

Schuba's is as neighborhood tavern is it gets. You can tell it has been around forever as the bar is an original pre-war design with nice art deco lights built into the back wall of the bar. The glow of lights behind the bar along with the few TVs to get your game on, illuminate the space and you can choose between the bar or tables. There is food, an array of beers, and enough liquor to get your drink on until 2010. Add in a music venue and a photobooth along with a pin ball machine, you have the makings of a great little experience you should try some time if you are ever in this neck of the woods. read more

The only thing that can make their mac and cheese better, is only paying half price for it on Wednesdays! I had it with chicken and broccoli last time and loved it. Even full-priced, it's not your usual mac and cheese and well worth it for the amount you get. I'm also a big fan of the honey chicken brie sandwich and the sweet potato fries. I love the flavor combo and it's really filling! It's not one of the typical restaurants you'd expect to be attached to a music venue, since it's something other than average bar food. I like eating here whether or not I'm seeing a band next door. And it's great to sit outside during the summer too. read more

Forgot how much I loved Schuba's until I popped in to see a friends band the other night. Amazing intimate venue, gifted talent buyer, incredible sound and kick ass service. In the interest of full disclosure, (why do I always have esssplain?) I've know the Schuba brothers since they owned the Everleigh Club back in the day and when I was slinging Jim Beam this was one of my accounts. I think it was their 9th anniversary party I booked an unknown band for their Beam sponsored bash, Train...circa "Meet Virginia". Needless to say I got lots of props for that coup! But anyway, I just started thinking about it and I've seen Rufus Wainwright, Lyle Lovett, Alejandro Escovedo, Los Fabuloso (?) Cadillacs, Andrew Bird, Poi Dog, The Slugs, The Farmers and countless other bands I love here. And I always meet nice people and always get great service. What is not to love except the tiny bathroom. Big deal! read more

I LOVE the owner of Schuba's!! I found out that Jason Mraz was performing there, but that tickets had already sold out. My co-worker and I got there after work and were hoping to hatch some plan which would allow us to sneak into the show. When we realized that we had absolutely NO plan, we waited outside the door of the concert venue until everyone with a ticket was already inside. My co-worker and I were standing with about 6 other girls, praying that the owner (who was taking tickets) would take pity on us and let us in! Luckily, after he looked inside to see if the venue was filled to capacity, he told us that we could purchase tickets to see the show! I was SO grateful for that because that Jason Mraz show was one of the best shows I've ever seen. ;) read more

As a musician, it's a rarity to find a clean and well-run venue where you get onstage at the time they say you will and you get paid what they say you will at the end of the night. Schubas is one of those places. I've been on that stage probably two dozen times and have never had a problem. The soundcrew are top notch (Fabrice especially), the stage (while somewhat tight of a squeeze at times) is still cozy enough that you can have an intimate show with the crowd. As a patron, this place is fantastic as well. The doorstaff are always nice, the bar is extraordinarily stocked with whatever you can throw at them, the bartenders are great and will make you a nice Chicago-style heavy-handed drink at non-exorbitant pricing. The food is phenomenal as well. Harmony Grill's mac and cheese (as mentioned previously) is the stuff of legend. Try a pesto, ham and green pea mac and cheese. Highly recommended. The thing that people seem to skim by on the menu is probably the best thing in the house: The honey chicken brie sandwich. Honey glazed chicken with melted brie, candied walnuts, sliced green apples and lettuce on a focassia roll. Are you kidding me? Locationwise, this place has always confused me. For a place with such a gauge on the pulse of the music industry it sometimes gets filled with the least music-interested people out there. Come friday or saturday night while you try to pass through the bar to get to a sold out show in the back music room, you may have to swim through a swarm of Cubs jerseys and Axe body spray before you can get to the door to get in to see the show. It sometimes makes me wonder how many live Phish and Dave Matthews Band cds are being unattended at home while all of their owners are out on the weekends. It's tragic, really. read more

Wandered in and discovered the BEST wings, buffalo sauce, and blue cheese I've ever had. They were wicked good. Really very happy. Friend tried the cauliflower bisque and that was also creamy and delicious. Also sampled the lavender cocktail and was very pleased. Pleasant surprise on a day of wandering. Staff was very kind, attentive, and welcoming. Hoping to return to hear some tunes and check out Tied House too! read more

Schubas is just a Chicago gem. The venue is intimate, allowing you to get as close to the performers as you like, and the sound guys do a great job with the mix & the level, never overpowering the space. The performance area is fronted by one of those classic long-and-narrow Chicago bars, and the adjacent Harmony Grill does a terrific job with comfort food and classics, so your pre-show needs are covered. Staff is hard-working and friendly. Schubas excels at booking high-quality acts that, for whatever reason, have limited audiences - recent favorite shows that leap to mind are the Rosebuds, Richard Buckner, Crooked Fingers and Divine Fits. Venues like this are why Chicago is one of the great live-music cities in the world, so get out and see a show, people! read more

Hippster style here. I have to say it was nice to visit this are that Schubas is in and check out their wares. We ordered pork tacos $9 for two small tacos wow better be the best taco's I've never had. BTW isn't pork tacos carnitas? Anyways so they were good enough to keep us from grumbling for the next hour or two for more food. The tacos were not memorable I wouldn't be able to afford their food often however it was nice to able to say we've been there at least once. read more

Awesome venue with great sound and cheap drinks! Buy your tickets at the door to save on the kind of absurdly high online markup.

I've been frequenting Schubas recently, because they've been the venue of choice for weekly meetings for a charity organization I'm involved with (*more on that later). Thus, I've gotten familiar with their menu, drink list, waitstaff, and general atmosphere - and the consensus is: me love you long time. The Food: I've sampled a range of menu options: turkey burger, sweet potato fries, mac & cheese, chicken/brie sandwich with apple slices, bean/chicken burrito, chips/salsa. The food is consistently good, hot, and service has always been quick. Out of those entrees, the bean burrito was my least favorite - not that special; the standout to me was the sweet/savory chx/brie/apple sandwich and the thick, hot & gooey mac/cheese - awesome. The Beverages: This is a Schlitz bar. I like that. I also like the oldschool blue glass "Schlitz" lighting fixtures in the upstairs dining room/bar (*more on that later). They've got your average lineup of draft beers - not a huge selection, but enough. They are a tad pricey, wish prices were a buck or two lower. They offer $4 'apple pie' or 'pineapple' shots, dispensed from giant vessels filled with booze and said (real) fruit. Haven't tried those yet, but I plan to. *Holiday note: They've just started serving hot spiced Glogg wine. $5 glass, yes please! The Waitstaff: Everyone here is always laid back, cool, pleasant, helpful. They seem like they're enjoying themselves, and that helps me enjoy myself. * Back to the 'more on that later' note: Our group reserved the private upstairs room for the weekly meetings. The room has its own bar, bathroom, tvs, music/speaker setup, and is adorned with tables, loungy leather couches and those great old Schlitz lighting fixtures. It's an ideal space for a private party, meeting, social gathering, etc. and has worked out great for us. Of course, this place also hosts concerts all the time too. I have not yet seen a show, but along with the apple pie / pineapple shots, it's something I plan to do. read more

When I'm charged $3 for a 312, I want it in a GLASS. I don't dig plastic cups, unless they hold 50-cent drinks. I also don't like the wall of T-shirts, ballcaps and cargo shorts I had to wade my way through to get upstairs to hear DJs. Everyone tells me Schuba's is great for live shows and not much else, and I'm inclined to agree. I was a bit surprised by how clean the place is. It really is immaculate without being a foo-foo club. read more

THE BEST BRUNCH EVER!!!!!!! I had the red eye burrito. Amazing! My brother had the best Steak and Eggs and my dad had the Cranberry French Toast. They were all fantastic. The Beignets were like little pillows of magic! The bloody Mary's were some of the best I've ever had. Think and spicy!!! read more

After going here at least 20 times, including today, I decided I was long overdue for giving this place a review. I could probably go here every weekend, eat the exact same brunch (Red Eye Burrito, beignets and coffee) and be completely happy. My love for these two items keeps me coming back. This place is no frills and the service is sometimes so-so, but it's laid back, affordable and always good. The vibe is completely unassuming matched with surprisingly good eats. I'd call it creative comfort food. Yum! read more

Great venue. Great sound. Great sense of what an appropriate capacity is for a room. They get a nice assortment of bands and you can often see someone on the rise in a cozy little setting before they start playing the bigger rooms like the Riv and Aragon. I even got to see Snow Patrol play a little acoustic set in the afternoon here once. That was pretty darn fantastic! I have found myself coming to Schuba's on non-concert nights or waaaay before show times, just to hang out at the bar to unwind and enjoy a whiskey and Coke and a few tunes on the well-stocked jukebox. The bartenders are friendly. The drinks are stiff enough to give you a buzz, but not so strong that they taste gross. The food at Harmony is also better than most bar food. Baked Mac and cheese is totally rock and roll! read more

Oh Schubas. How many great shows have I seen here? How many awesome memories have I had parking nearby. The sounds are fabulous. The drinks are reasonably priced, and well... it has a photo booth. I am vain enough to love them, and it is a nice touch to make a concert more memorable with a keepsake for about $2. Getting in the photo booth with the singer you came to see? Even better. I've never tried the food, because I don't really care about that sort of thing, but I just love love love the venue. Their jukebox is probably the best I've ever seen still, and the Tahiti 80 poster has a nice place in my heart. :) read more

Schuba's is a great spot to catch a show, which is mostly what this review will talk about. But the bar is pretty cool, too. Bartenders are laid back, selection isn't great, but there are enough options and prices are fairly moderate (expected in this city, really). Not a big place, but it has a comfortable, clean feel. There is a room in the back where they have concerts; I've been to two within less than a week. Both were much smaller bands, and the hall in the back is also quite small. But the sound is great--lots of bass, well mixed. There is also a separate bar in the back and both times a server walked around during the show to also take orders, in case you didn't want to lose your spot. That is convenient but also a bit annoying when you're in the zone of a great band. I really appreciated that Schuba's housed two great acts though; it made going to the shows even better. read more

Each time I go here I want to love it, but I always leave feeling unsatisfied. I have never had a bad meal at Harmony Grill, and the fact that I have been there on multiple occasions should say something by itself. I like this place, I don't love this place, I will probably never love this place. I just don't think we have the kind of chemistry I am looking for in a restaurant at this point in my life... read more

Schubas has been a long-time favorite music venue for me in Chicago, but this was my first visit to Harmony Grill. We stopped by for brunch, and I ordered the coconut pancake special and that was topped with a light and delicious pineapple glaze that made me want to head back to Hawaii immediately! If we weren't driving down to Morris for some kayaking, we would definitely have taken advantage of the bloody marys, that looked fabulous! The patio was quiet considering its location on a busier corner, and I can't wait to stop back for dinner one night! read more

Minimum Age: 18+, depends on the night. Some nights are 21+. Cost: Varies on the band performing, usually $8-$20. Crowd: 20's/Caucasian, slightly mixed Dress Code: None. Date Attended: 3/21/09, Saturday For those who are interested in seeing live bands perform, this is definitely a good place to go. When you first walk in, you have the bar to your right. If you want to see the live band, you have to head to the back and either pay admission or if you prepay, they will mark you off of will-call. You can stand right in front of the stage to see the performer up close and personal. They had a waitress that made regular rounds through the crowd to see if you wanted any drinks. The sound quality was nice. There were seats to sit down along one side of the wall if you get there early enough. On this particular night, Ari Hest was performing. He had an opening act. Both performances were good, with Ari's being the best. Definitely a nice place with a good atmosphere! Pros: Live performance, you never know what to expect (A girl from the audience actually went up on stage and sang with Ari. It was one of the highlights of the show.). Waitress service. Bar service. Good sound quality. Seats to sit down. Reasonable ticket prices. Nice crowd. Cons: None. read more

Since I'm a seaoned drinker....bloody marys have become the new breakfast of champions. Schuba's serves the BEST bloody mary's. Hint: Always order bloody mary's spicy so you can drink enough water to keep drinking in style. I came here by accident and ordered the usual in lieu of their food. The bloody came-spicy, NOT premixed, and garnished with a block of pepperjack cheese, salami, pickle, olive, and celery stick. Now THAT's a breakfast! The cheese was great with the spicy bloody mary and salami was great aswell. Saturday and Sunday they have bloody mary's half price and its friggen amazing! I would recommend this place for bloody mary's every time. read more

There are so many reasons to love Harmony Grill. First, I have been there for brunch many many times at all hours of the morning (bleary at 9:30am and... well... bleary at noon) and I have never waited for a table. Not once. Which isn't to say it's empty, they just have a perfect balance between number of tables and people who want to eat there. In Lakeview, to find a table for brunch immediately at 11am on a Sunday is reason enough to go. But you need more? The brunch is awesome. They serve great beignets, delicious oatmeal, tasty eggs benedict... and have $5 mimosas and bloody marys on the weekend. What more could you want? If you find yourself there around lunchtime (after 3:30pm I believe) order the French Onion Soup and the Honey Chicken Brie sandwich. I think that soup is the best I've had in Chicago. Oh, and the sweet potato fries are delicious. The service can be slightly spotty on weekends, hence the missing star, but I've never minded - it usually takes me several hours upon waking to get beyond mono-syllabic discussions anyway, so lingering over my cocktail has never been a problem. I'm not sure why this doesn't have the line around the door (a la Orange - which is garbage compared to Harmony - but I wrote a review of that place already) but I'm not going to complain. In fact... Nevermind. Terrible place with awful food. Never EVER go there on a weekend for brunch. Ever. **insert maniacal evil giggle here** read more

My friend is obsessed with a specific salad dressing here - the cilantro-lime. I had the Cuban steak salad that has this dressing, and it was good - not amazingly brag about it good, but it was fine. My friends had fish + chips and loved it, and the dressing-obsessed one had a salad + pulled pork sandwich, and also loved it. I was shocked at how expensive our meal with, though! Two bloody mary's, a beer, a mimosa (and we went on the weekend when they were $4) and three entree's was $80. That seems like a lot to me. Regardless, I am quite confident I can make the cilantro-lime dressing, and I'll make it for my friend so we can eat somewhere else next time. read more

Best Mac n Cheese in the city! Thats all I have to say about that. See my Schubas review for more. read more

I mainly like this place for the musical guests they host. They get a lot of very good independent music artists, and their food is pretty good too. Try their mac & cheese - it's pretty good. Just be aware of ticket fees online. If the price is $12, they will charge a $3 ticket fee so you'll be paying $15. read more

As a music venue: 5 stars As a bar: 4 stars As a restaurant: 3 stars Overall 4 stars. This is one of the best music venues in Chicago, possibly only overshadowed by it's younger yet bigger sibling, Lincoln Hall. The music room is intimate and the sound is great. I've seen a lot of memorable performances in that space. A lot of bands (both local, national and international touring bands) play this room. Many of these bands have graduated to bigger and better things, so it's also nice to have a "I saw _____ at Schubas before they got big" The bar is wonderful. Great drink selections and the front room has a nice cozy, taverny feel. The restaurant is typical bar food. I think I've only really eaten there before a show. The Mac n cheese is tasty. Overall a Chicago establishment! read more

I absolutely adore Schubas, because it is a small venue and I love small venues. The sound quality is excellent! Sound checks for bands are great! The lighting is also great for photographers and photographers with professional cameras are allowed in, for upcoming photographers. My experience selling merchandise for a band playing at Schubas is also great. Although I am still under the drinking age, I still have fun at the (all ages) concerts. Dinner at the Harmony Grill (next door to Schubas), is great, while waiting for doors to open, even at a reasonable price. The waiter, Sam was awesome, we were able to share music selections. Overall Schubas is a great place for a concert, even just for dinner and dessert. :] All ages at Schubas is very rare, but it is definetly worth it! I highly recommend this venue/bar/restaurant. read more

I must confess that I've never been to a show at Schuba's, which is kind of like saying you've never had a burger at Kuma's. I'll get around to it one of these days. As a bar, I like Schuba's just fine. It's got a lot of history. The good people of Schlitz put up the building around the turn of the last century, which accounts for the beautiful terra cotta bas-relief Schlitz globes.* Schuba's has played host to a lot of great music acts over the last couple of decades, but Chicagoans have done great drinking here for over a century. The only drawback is that there is sometimes a cover at the door. I'm not quite sure how this works, or how often it's in place. If you're not having any of it, though, you can walk a couple blocks up to Southport Lanes. Once, finishing up an evening at Schuba's, a friend of mine tried to pay for a $4 beer by counting through his handful of change and placing coins, one by one and with complete drunken sincerity, on our waitress's serving tray. He'd gotten up to 70 or 80 cents when I gave the poor girl a fiver. *Kudos to Sean Parnell of Chicago Bar Project for his excellent writeup of this establishment both on the website of that name and in his book, Historic Bars of Chicago. read more

I bumped Schubas up to 3 stars based on the many positive things I've heard about seeing shows here and their hosting of the terrific and slightly macabre Mustaches for Kids benefit. The beer list has some great selections both on tap and bottled from the whole price spectrum of beers, from Rockefeller down to hobo. One can also order food from the attached Harmony Grill if one is so inclined. The bartender seemed overrun and surly despite the tiny tiny crowd at the time. She kind of ignored me and some others for a while and inexplicably carded another person at the bar on her third drink. read more

I love sitting outside here in the summer and people watching as I eat and drink....the atmosphere is really chill. I recently went here and sat inside and also had a good experience. The bartenders are very quick and friendly and the drinks aren't too expensive. read more

Schubas Tavern - Music Venues Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I have been seeing shows for years and never realized that Harmony Grill is owned from the same people. Never realized it was attached...ooops! I have eaten here a few times and have dreams about the turkey burger every now and again. As for the tater tots...come on...some of the best in the city!! There is a perfect balance of crunch, mushy, and greasy goodness! I would not recommend these to be eaten on a daily basis, but there is nothing wrong with consuming an order every few months. The hummus plate is a great way to start a meal, but steer clear of the cream of broccoli soup. No chunks of broccoli here; only cream and a slight broccoli taste. As for the ambiance, I love the "rock art". There is nothing better than eating a solid meal, enjoying conversation with others, and looking at various musicians on canvas! read more
