"The Blues Brothers took place in Chicago for a reason, and it’s because the blues culture of this city is alive and well. Just head to a place like Kingston Mines, where you can catch a live show Thursday through Saturday starting in the evening until they close at 4:00am (5:00am on Saturday). The longtime bar has been in a few different spots over the years, but it’s current Lincoln Park location has been the same for over 30 years." - josh barnett, sam faye, john ringor
"Lincoln Park’s Kingston Mines has been around since 1968, and is still the best place for live blues in Chicago. The sprawling venue is open until 5am, and has two stages and a sea of tables. Plus bar food like chicken wings and BBQ. There’s a cover charge at the door, but they offer all sorts of education, military, and birthday discounts. The space is constantly full of people dancing, from couples who met here 30 years ago to college students trying to put off reviewing their lecture notes for as long as possible." - john ringor, nick allen
