Lincoln Hall

A sibling venue to the renowned Schubas, Lincoln Hall is widely considered as one of the top performance destinations in the city. What’s not to love about this Lincoln Park venue that obviously prioritizes music above all else. Hailing from a rich history, Lincoln was originally established as a movie theater in 1912, and over the years has undergone several transformations, including serving as a post for FBI sharpshooters during the notorious John Dillinger incident and a garage and machine shop.

Both rising indie artists poised for fame and well-known acts seeking a more intimate performance setting have made Lincoln their go-to stage. Its standout feature, the wrap-around mezzanine balcony, offers great acoustics and a fantastic view, no matter where you stand. The venue's intimate size, coupled with an attentive and respectful crowd, creates an immersive musical experience for all.
