"Long before it was a music venue, the building that now hosts Lincoln Hall rose to fame when FBI snipers took over the rooftop to prevent mobster John Dillinger from escaping the nearby Biograph Theatre the night he was killed. These days, the happenings at Lincoln Hall are a lot less dramatic but definitely not any less exciting. On any given night you can catch a variety of music, from hip hop to folk to rock. While it's much bigger than its sister venue Schubas, it still retains that same feeling of intimacy. So grab a beer, settle in on the main floor or balcony and enjoy the show." - Stephen Merlo


"This concert venue is continuing to enforce COVID-19 precautions — including masks and/or proof of vaccination or negative tests — after the city lifted its indoor mandate on Feb. 28. Because policies vary by event and can be updated, ticket-holders should check current requirements before attending." - Naomi Waxman

"I noted that Lincoln Hall is included among venues that have implemented proof-of-vaccination policies." - Naomi Waxman

"A mid-sized music venue in Lincoln Park steps from DePaul’s main campus, Lincoln Hall opened in 2009 when it replaced the 3 Penny Cinema; Audiotree purchased Lincoln Hall (along with Schubas) in 2015 and operates it as part of its venues and music-label activities." - Ashok Selvam
