This place is awesome! A unique one-of-a-kind sandwich shop, bar and venue space in the heart of Wicker Park. Super friendly staff and great food. Being a musician, I immediately noticed the quality of the sound system in the venue space which is crystal clear. The venue space is open and airy with a second loft with another bar setup and tables. I'm sure that system kick's ass when it comes time to crank up the music and have some fun. I'm going back soon!
The newest and probably the best kept "secret" venue in the whole city. Acoustics sound immaculate, the room is small enough to feel like an intimate show yet large enough to easily dance about. The balcony offers a second vantage point and sounds fantastic up top as well. Security is firm but courteous, bathrooms are cleaner than most venues and well-maintained. Lots of drink options and you get to keep your water bottle cap.
I truly hope Chop Shop at 1st Ward starts taking all the bigger name shows from Bottom Lounge as soon as possible. Overall 9 out of 10 as I've only attended two events so far. If the rest go the same way as the first two did then this will be the greatest opening Chicago has seen in a few years. Keep it up and keep booking bigger names too!
Unbelievable place. Local butcher shop and restaurant. Great food and drinks. Service top notch led by main manager Zoltan, the Z man to tje locals. 1st Ward is attached and makes it even more desirable to visit.
