Reggies

Reggies is a multifaceted music venue that has been serving music lovers and artists since its inception on September 8, 2007. The venue, which was transformed from a run-down auto bumper repair shop, has grown to become a hotspot in Chicago's music scene.

Reggies is divided into several sections, each offering a unique experience. The Music Joint is a laid-back bar and grill that hosts live performances almost nightly, featuring a wide variety of musical genres. It also boasts a unique collection of music and sports memorabilia, and offers a selection of over 70 beers. The Rock Club, on the other hand, is a concert venue that focuses on innovative, cutting-edge bands. It features a high-tech sound system, a gradually sloped floor for perfect sight lines, and a chill-out balcony for relaxed listening.

Over the years, Reggies has hosted a number of top acts, including the Tragically Hip, Alkaline Trio, Gaslight Anthem, Carl Palmer, Supersuckers, The Dillinger Escape Plan, and Screeching Weasel. The venue has also been home to breakthrough performances, such as the band Origin, which gained critical acclaim and a devout fanbase after their performance at Reggies.

Reggies is not just a music venue, but also a part of the local culture. It hosts regular events like Tipsy Tuesdays, featuring bands like Mr. Blotto, and Classic Albums, where some of the best musicians in the city recreate audience favorites live on stage. The venue also offers a fleet of vintage buses for transportation to games, concerts, local events, or road trips.
