Bill's Blues has screwed over bands they have booked. The punk doorman seems to have a hole in his pocket collecting cover charges. This place is definitely not worth a trip to. There are plenty of other nice clubs in the Chicago area to check out live music.

Having played a number of Clubs in my life and seen my share of nasty little dives, this is a very cool, intimate little place. We didn't try the food because we had just finished suffing ourselves in a sandwich joint around the corner. But the Music was first rate and the house wine was acceptable. The owner is on site, and I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a good night of music and commaraderie enjoying the famous Blues culture of Chicago.
