Schubas in Lakeview—the music venue, not the brothers who own it—operates out of a 110-year-old building, designated as a Chicago historic landmark in 2011, that was erected by Schlitz Brewery. It’s a cozy, intimate back-room venue for catching indie, folk, Americana, pop, and singer-songwriter acts, and the sound almost always is great. In the front area, the main bar is a suitable place to hang and...

The dance-based predecessor to Metro, SmartBar is the (literally) underground dance bar that’s operated underneath the main venue. It pulls in plenty of big-name and no-name DJs—the only prerequisite is to spread some infectious grooves.

If you’re friends with musicians who stick to the local circuit, chances are that you’ve been to Elbo Room in Lincoln Park to see them play. If not, and if you don’t live in the area, there isn’t really a compelling reason to visit (outside of the Pac-Man table upstairs, where it’s cozy and lounge-y). You’re likely to catch one of two shows here: the way-too-hot...
