Great venue! Another favorite of mine. They do not serve Old Style, but have a good selection of domestic and craft beers. And yes, beer is expensive here. It's a venue in Chicago. That is just how it is. Great sound, great atmosphere. Been coming here for years.
Visited the Metro from Kansas City for an Everything Everything concert. There's easy access to the venue from the Riverfront area and downtown Chicago via the L and a short walk so if you're visiting like us you can get away without an Uber/Lyft etc. We arrived about and hr after doors and there was no issue getting in quickly. IDs are checked at the door, then tickets inside and another quick ID check if you want a booze bracelet. I like that there's a coat and purse check. With shows during colder weather it can get hot inside the venue in winter coats so I really like that I could check it for 4 bucks. It was quick and easy too. Wasn't impressed with the drink selection. Not the biggest hard seltzer or beer fan, or hard liquor for the matter so I would have liked to see some ciders or like Mikes Hards. It's definitely smaller venue and fills up quickly so get there early if you want to get closer to the stage. I like that the stage seemed to be more elevated than average so even well in the back you could still see the band well. Overall it's a nice smaller venue and I really enjoyed the concert there.
Fun evening at this event the one where Botch was playing tonight. I got no complaints about this theater. I'd gripe about the fact that buying drinks is cash only, but with that crowd tonight, I'd imagine it'd be hell on the bartenders if they managed tabs, so I'll give it a pass based on circumstances. Had tons of fun in the theater, and I'd definitely come back if they had more metal bands performing there. I also love it when they have techno music playing upstairs, too, like Smartbar.
Metro is an Iconic Chicago venue. If you’re an audiophile who loves their music live, more likely than not you’ve either been here on numerous occasions or have experienced live footage of your favorite band playing here at some point or another. My most recent experience was attending Chicago Reader’s Best Of Chicago celebration. Definitely catch a show here sometime soon! P.S. i highly recommend not driving to the venue as finding parking can be a nightmare use spot hero to make it less chaotic. If you must drive check the street for the signs, to avoid getting towed/ticketed as it gets especially sus during the game days.
Metro is one of the greats in Chicago, the best security in town, acts that will blow your mind, drinks that a strong made by a bar staff that match the drinks strong badasses!.! When your done with your show take your wristband down to smartbar foor one more drink and some dancing ! Metro was also a huge part of save our stages during the pandemic so buy some merchandise, tip well, nd party on.
Great little venue! Loved seeing the Arkells away from home in a small intimate setting.
Saw Portugal The Man. As a short person, the view left much to be desired. Fun atmosphere and a rare find in the merch store made this a memorable visit.
I was here for a show this past weekend from out of town. Came from Minneapolis to see Mac Ayres and it was my first time ever at this venue. I honestly loved the venue and would travel to come see my favorite artists perform here again! The aesthetics are awesome. Old theatre redone for modern shows. The place isn’t a big venue but it isn’t small either. Just in that sweet spot enough to get an intimate feel for a show anywhere you stand within a large crowd. But honestly the thing that blew me away was the sound quality! I can honestly say this is hands down the best sounding venue/theatre I’ve been to ever. Don’t know if it has something to do with the sound design or good audio engineers but whatever it is, keep doing it! I help as stage crew at different venues in Minneapolis, and the sound quality is nowhere near what this place provides. The audio wasn’t muddy or overdone with bass. Every aspect of instruments and voice are crisp and clear. Keep doing what you’re doing!
Iconic Chicago club. Great concert venue. Definitely worth checking out.
A great throwback aesthetic! For my first time here it was a great experience! Great music bands but I’m sure that depending on the band you come see defies the kind of people and atmosphere you’ll receive. Kinda sucks that the Bar is cash only but it isn’t a downgrade.
