Kingston Mines

Strongly suggested: a great venue for blues and rock gigs. Two independent areas, one concert stage each: when one band ends, the other one start in the side area. This is amazing, you may spend good time there since 8 pm till late night by attending the show of many bands. Love this. Tickets at the counter, 20 bucks cash is faster. Drink: you may ask the servers. There is a cuisine in common to both spaces, go there and pay for typical pub food good quality for good price.

Great Blues bar. A classic that hasn’t changed in decades. The music is great, the club is grungy and the crowd is diverse. All good and worth the cover to hear some great music. The food looked good too. Gotta check it out in Chicago.

Love this place. Crowded and hot but still a great time. The band shift from one room to the other so you can see a different act every hour or so. Prices were pretty reasonable and the cover on the night we went was 20 bucks. It was a great deal for the quality of the music!

I've wanted to check out one of Chicago's Blues clubs for a long time and my friend brought me to Kingston Mines to really get the full experience. We got there not long after the doors opened and were able to get good seats near the stage in the first room. We got to enjoy several local artists along with some cold beer and great atmosphere. There was a $20 per person cover and it's a good idea to bring some extra cash to tip the band. If you're in Chicago and a live music fan go check out Kingston Mines.

If your visiting Chicago this place is rich in history & visiting is a must Bring cash for tipping musicians!! $20 cover there are discounts for student/military etc. 7pm - 3:30am live music Two rooms where the sets alternate throughout the night Ear plugs at the shop if needed Merchandise available on site for purchase - lots of different options Extensive cocktail menu with good drinks. Bar food All of it is really good but just a bit pricey Worth the experience

By far one of the most amazing jazz experiences I've ever had! The dueling jazz rooms was quite remarkable. To see some local legends perform and it drove what they do was great. I also loved the downhome food feel and the rusticness of this jazz joint.

Amazing bar! We were lucky to see two amazing blues bands! The bar is great with reasonable prices! The student tickets are $15 and on Thursdays are free! You are welcome to dance if you like to and there are several performances back to back. Definitely a must especially if you are visiting Chicago!

Such a fun blues bar that really gives you the Chicago experience! The bands are fantastic and bring a great energy to the bar! The staff is very friendly and willing to you grab you things while you sit and enjoy the performances which is really nice! The cover charge is $20 by the way but definitely worth the experience!

The service is exceptional and the music is PHENOMENAL. It’s a $20 cover charge, and it is so worth it. Fabulous night. Pro tip: there are two stages and bands switch off playing on each stage; ask the bartender for the schedule and move to the other room 10 mins before the current room stops playing to get a good seat

This bar should be the definition of life well lived. Should be the definition of Love, Joy and Blues. Kingston Mines should be in the World Hall of Fame. I'm feeling like a privileged human being for set foot on such a wonderful place, full of wonderful people and fill with love and peaceful mind's that only blues can provide. Lovely place in an iconic avenue, and an experience that i'll never forget
