I'm not a jazz fan but wanted to visit this club as it was once owned by Al Capone. Its a little outside the centre but you can get there by underground train for just a few dollars. We went on a sunday night which was a 'Slam Poetry' night followed by some traditional jazz and thoroughtly enjoyed it. More

We got there at about 10 pm. There was a bit of a line up outside but, I don't think we waited for more than 10 minutes. Drinks were pretty reasonable and the show was great. Standing room only but, the place was exactly what I had hoped. More

the number one on my to-do-list every time I visit Chicago! Amazing jazz and atmosphere! Be sure to have cash with you - they only take american express. And if you haven't got your pockets full of dollars go for a pint instead of a cocktail :) More

YOu have to get there early for a good table. The only food is the olives in the martinis. Superb chicago jazz the night I visited. Decor is still 1930. More

We travelled to Chicago specifically to see Patricia Barber, our favourite jazz pianist/singer, who performs at the Green Mill every Monday when she's not touring. We sat within several meters of the stage and during the intervals between sets we got to meet her, have a brief chat, get a photo taken with her and she signed all the CD... More

Last night began with a special grouping of a tap artist dancing while the poet and musicians performed around and over her... More

Classy old-style club with lots of history and great jazz. Our waitress was pleasant and prompt serving drinks. The music was very enjoyable and people were quiet during the performance so we could hear well even though we were seated far from the stage. More

Our travel guidebook told us this was an old speak-easy joint once frequented by Al Capone. Knowing that, and stepping through the doors to what must surely have been the original (and well-preserved) art-deco interior, it was like taking a step through a portal to the past. The sweet scent of ancient cigar smoke still permeated the place (in a... More

This building is awesome and is totally indicative of a 1920s jazz club. Even the juke box doesnt have music extending beyond the 1950s era. But what lets it down is the unfriendliness of the staff - when the show starts you darent even whisper to who youre sitting with in case you get a scowl. Being such a historical... More
