Lilly's Bar Bar / Live Music Venue

Lincoln Park, Chicago –

Located just a few blocks north of the busy Fullerton/Lincoln/Halsted intersection, Lilly’s Bar is regularly deluged by nearby DePaul students and casual hipsters eager for cheap all-you-can-drink deals and live music.

Low green stucco archways, uneven brick floors, and scattered antique wrought iron furniture give the dark and winding space an underground vibe, perfect for the student musicians and singers who take the stage for Open Mic jam sessions or to pump their fists to the beats of local bands.

Although a balcony offers a partial view of the stage, the dim and intimate space is more popular as a chill hangout for groups of friends and as a make-out spot for the young couples who cozy up on the couches.

While the venue draws a good crowd just about any night, weekends often see a packed house and the occasional sighting of Lilly herself, instantly recognizable by her flaming red hair.

As partiers clamor for attention at the bar, savvy regulars and band friends avoid the masses and a second trip to the bar by grabbing a personal pitcher of brew and settling in for the rest of the night.

Known for its quirky and exuberant charm and outgoing clientele, Lilly’s Bar promises an energetic evening of great music and great company.
