Long time Chicagoan's know that the Green Mill is a top attraction for people coming to town. If you have experienced it, you know it is worth a return trip. If this is your first time, you are in for treat. The room is special, and the jazz is inspiring.
Opened in 1907, Uptown’s Green Mill is a storied club and jazz venue that has been featured in countless movies, TV shows, and documentaries. Its smoky throwback atmosphere keeps a few different legends alive, from its daily jazz performances to its lore as Al Capone’s hangout. In addition to a wood carving of the infamous mobster and co., the bar still retains Capone’s favorite booth, a spot that allows views of the front and back entrances. (The Green Mill’s underground tunnels are famous as well, giving Capone an escape route, but you won’t get a tour down there.) The décor is charming, including the famous neon logo in a giant scroll frame on the back wall, and there’s plenty of reason to hang even if you’re not going for the music.
The show features ALFONSO PONTICELLI and there is a $10 cover.
