During my recent visit to Chicago I was taken to The Green Mill for a night of jazzy entertainment. So great to see such an attentive crowd, that was there to listen to the music and not chatting amongst themselves. It's not that they were a quiet bunch because during the intermission it got very noisy with people discussing jazz and all the great drinks that were available at the bar. Good team of bartenders that were on the ball and where accommodating to such a credit room. Definitely give a 10 out of 10 to the staff delivering drinks through the incredibly packed room. Almost worth the visit to watch them do this. The performer was magnificent as usual according to my friend. Amazing talent! That definitely blew me away. Definitely a must go if you are in the Chicago area and love jazz and blues. Parking is tough, but if you drive around the block enough you will find a convenient spot. Parking is free after 10:00 p.m. on the street.

Loved the atmosphere, came here for my birthday and so glad I did. Spoke with one of the bartenders Jason about our passion for dance and he told me the history of Lindy Hop (I hope I'm spelling it correctly). It was another bartenders birthday and she cheers me with a free shot. We spoke about the history of the bar I didn't know how old the Green Mill was, and which famous frequent guests also ventured there. No spoilers go see for yourself. It was great to meet staff telling stories about their lives and the bar with such admiration. Not to mention the music and drinks top knotch! Being a San Diegan it is a bar I will take the commute, pay a lyft to next time I'm in Chicago.

Visiting in December from the UK would like to visit The Green Mill on a Saturday night what time would you recommend we get there for a good seat?

Samantha Digger | Nov 4, 2019
Mark Rogers | Nov 4, 2019

We would have gotten better seats if we got there between 6 & 6:30 on Saturday... perhaps because it was Christmas weekend it was extra busy...we literally got the last table at 7, and it was up next to the bar leading into the big room/stage
