Great bar. Went on a Monday night and made friends not only with the owner, but also with a dog who was there for Bark and Bingo. Very cozy, homey spot. Made us feel at home while on vacation. Owner behind the bar. Support this bar because the neighborhood is changing rapidly. Show up after 10 on a weeknight and chat with the awesome owner and a regular.

With two floors to relax, drink and listen to great music on, The Elbo Room is the complete experience. The people are always friendly, and they also support local music at open mics during the week. The Elbo Room is one of the reasons why Chicago is one of the best places in the world for food and nightlife.

When I need quality live music and a strong drink from friendly service, I go to the Elbo Room every time. And I never regret it. Its my go to. Harder and harder to find places like this in the neighborhood. Be sure to ask for Dave if you want a Guinness poured the right way.

Popped in last night after a show at the Athenaeum and really enjoyed ourselves. Everyone was so friendly and laid back. Good beer, good whiskey, good vibes. James was bartending and was very fun and friendly. We will definitely be back the next time we are in the area.

I feel bad that I had to give them a star!!! It"s awful inside and run down. They smoke weed in there and it smells like stale cigarettes. The drinks are watered down and the bartenders are just terrible! I will never go back there again!!!

A great venue for up and coming artists. They really give a chance for new music to be heard and the opportunity for diverse music and experiences. There is a main stage and a lounge and I love the diverse acts that are avaiable.

Lies to touring bands and doesnt pay them. I played few several months ago and had it happen, and it has happened to several bands I know since then. This is a cruel thing to do to people 1000 miles away from home.

Weve had a blast here on numerous occasions, danced and drank. A little bit loud and dark but not so much you wont enjoy yourself. It can get a little crowded but what good place doesnt? Nice staff and great music.

Charlie Graham

Went here expecting to dislike it, but it really knocked my socks off. Two stages with a variety of acts, cheap beer and shots, and friendly staff to boot. Solid sound/light system downstairs. Good spot for a show!

Fun place to catch a show. Nothing fancy, but a nice space to catch a show. Not too small (doesnt feel cramped), but not too big (still feels intimate). Great for seeing local talent!

Max Barkley

Elbow room is amazing. They are great because they work with tons of local artists to put on niche shows. I really enjoy their drinks and their service and atmosphere is amazing.

They pour heavy, have a rotating beer selection, live music, divey-feels, good vibes, and theres a golden apple down the street for late-night noms. Whats not to love?

At this bar they always have great live music. There is an upstairs and downstairs bar. The upstairs usually has a smaller band and the downstairs has a DJ or band.

Kristin Klimas

Awesome spot. Really great place to see an intimate show, sound is fantastic! Has a funky vibe downstairs, and its fun to grab a drink upstairs before and after.

It definitely fits its name. Very small but thats great for the acts they pull in or the special opportunities when you get to see a big draw in there.

George Jackson

Great place for House Music events and rock bands. Sounds are spectacular and service was on point.
