"The Empty Bottle isn’t technically in Wicker Park as it’s slightly south in Ukranian Village. But as one of the neighborhood’s last surviving venues from the early 1990s, when bands like The Smashing Pumpkins were coming up in the neighborhood, it deserves a spot on this list. The dive-bar setting is classic Chicago, and it books great acts from all different genres. It’s the type of small venue where mega-acts like Alt-J will pop into for a set after playing a major concert elsewhere in the city.Where: 1035 N Western Ave, Chicago, IL 60622" - MATADOR_NETWORK
