Short Notes documents Chicago's live events venues in words rather than images — our coverage is editorial and text-based. This page is a placeholder; our venue guides are the best place to find descriptions of what each room is like before you visit.
Venue guides
Our venue guides describe the layout, character, acoustics and transport options for the main Chicago music and entertainment venues. See the Chicago Music Venues Guide for an overview, and the individual venue pages for more detail.
If you have photos of Chicago venues you would like to share with us, email notes@shortna.me.
