TravelSkoot's best night life in Chicago features blues and music legends of all kinds! Spend your night listening to some of the best music that Chicago has to offer while throwing back a few cold ones, or sipping a fine glass of wine!
Buddy Guy arrived in Chicago on September 25, 1957 - intending to get some work as a cook or grocery clerk. 50 years later, the city that made him a music legend is now home to his very own Blues Club. Buddy Guy's Legends on Wabash. On any night, you can walk into the club, chow down on some Cajun soul food, and listen to the biggest and best local, national and international blues acts. If you plan your Chicago trip in January, you're in luck that's when Buddy will take the stage himself. But be sure to book your seats early - they sell out fast.

At the wildly popular House of Blues on Dearborn, The Music Hall is the main attraction! You can reserve a seat to some of the biggest national acts - blues, rock and roll, country or hip hop! Enhanced your night with a Dinner Package at House of Blues own restaurant. Or, if you want to forgo the big crowds - stick to the Back Porch stage where every night of the week you'll find live music. Tuesday through Saturday it begins with acoustic blues at 7… Order dinner at your table - perhaps some Chicago Style Sliders - or Crispy Catfish Nuggets and at 10pm enjoy the main headliners!

When it comes to blues clubs there's plenty of music to go around, at "Blue Chicago" in the River North section of the city. It's just bricks and neon on the outside - and that's just what you want with your blues - a place to sit and nurse your whiskey, while someone else sings how much worse of they are than you. Ahh, suddenly your life don't seem so bad after all. Another shot and you're ready to sing along to "Sweet Home, Chicago" - a Blue Chicago tradition.
