Subterranean (Music Hall)

Sub-T is more than just a venue, it's pulse of the Chicago indie music scene. With a rich history dating back to the prohibition era, this iconic building at 2011 W North Ave has housed a brothel, a bathhouse, and even a wire room for gambling. From the checkered floor to the spiral staircase down from the green room, the venue is full of character both on and off the stage. The PBR flows freely. Mosh pits and stage dives are the norm. Hip hop to garage punk to drag, anything can be on deck. Sub-T has hosted some of the biggest names in music, including Dinosaur Jr, Lizzo, Built to Spill, Alabama Shakes and Pussy Riot, and is also home to long-running residencies like Thursday's Reggae Gold and the 606 Open Mic on Tuesdays.
