Kingston Mines in downtown Chicago is a prime music spot to hear some Chicago style Rock n' Blues. It gets pretty soulful on the stage as well as the dance floor. If you can shuffle your feet, you might just be in for a good night. So, shuffle away!
If you're a musician you gotta go here (especially guitar!). There's some nasty blues musicians that come through. If nothing else, you should chat, learn a thing or two, and get to know them. There's some good potential networking on the table.
