The Best Bars And Restaurants With Live Music In Chicago

"Archie’s Cafe is a casual Rogers Park spot that feels more like having dinner at a friend’s house than a restaurant. They have coffee, booze, and a rotating food menu with a little bit of everything. Certain nights focus on pizza or pasta, and on weekends, Archie’s functions as a breakfast, lunch, and dinner spot with everything from breakfast sandwiches to tacos. During the summer, you can catch solo guitar sets on the sidewalk, while in the colder months, a jam session might be using their side room and upright piano until the “midnightish” closing time." - john ringor, nick allen
