Reggie's Barbecue

"Take your average Chicago block party and plop it on a rooftop deck, and you have Reggies in the South Loop. This casual bar and music venue (though right now they’re not hosting shows) has cold beer, burgers, and wings. And unlike your neighborhood block party, the rooftop has very little probability of screaming children. What it lacks in view (overlooking a deserted section of State Street and Cermak) it makes up for in a relaxed and fun atmosphere." - adrian kane, veda kilaru

"Despite its name, Reggies Rock Club in South Loop is not rock music exclusive. Sure, you can occasionally come here for a hair metal show at decibel levels that will make you wonder if your beer glass will explode. But this old-auto-repair-shop-turned venue also has everything from underground rap artists to expert-level banjo players. And if you need to grab a meal before the show, their restaurant next door, the Music Joint, has bar food like wings and burgers." - john ringor, nick allen

"Reggies is a bar and music venue with a great rooftop deck, and every time we’re here, it feels like a Chicago neighborhood block party—an experience we want you to have. This casual spot has cold beer, burgers and wings, daily live music, and games like bags (which is what we call cornhole in the Midwest). And unlike the hotel your company put you up in, the flat-screen TVs at Reggies will work." - adrian kane, veda kilaru
