More information on Elbo Room

Upstairs, Elbo Room looks like any other low-key Lincoln Park watering hole. Head to the basement for delightfully schizophrenic live music: rockabilly, hip-hop, soul, funk, and more. The subterranean setting is cozy and brings the bands up close and personal, but when the place gets packed, you might not see much of the onstage action. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
