Green Mill Cocktail Lounge

The Green Mill Cocktail Lounge is Uptown Chicago's legendary jazz haven, serving up live music seven nights a week with bands playing from 8 PM to midnight. Featuring powerhouse regulars like Alan Gresik's Swing Orchestra, Soul Message, Joel Paterson, Chicago Cellar Boys, and Alfonso Ponticelli, plus dance music on Tuesday and Thursday nights, there's never a dull moment at this iconic venue. Catch the Uptown Poetry Slam on the third Sunday of every month, and come prepared — the Green Mill is cash only, takes no reservations, and has its own parking lot. Open Sunday through Thursday until 1:11 AM and Friday through Saturday until 2 AM, this is Chicago jazz history you can drink to.
