10 Concerts & Shows in West Side That You Shouldn't Miss

July 28, 2021 Brandee Mangan

The windy city is a cornucopia of modern art, fine dining, cutting edge comedy, and die-hard sports fans. Snap a photo of your reflection in the silver Cloud Gate sculpture at Millennium Park before heading to Grant Park to get hit with the refreshing spray of Buckingham Fountain. There are dozens of museums and theater companies in Chicago, so a cultural experience is never hard to find. You’re sure to laugh your head off at the Second City Theater, the professional launch pad of many famous comedians.

Auditorium Theatre

Reviewed By Bentleymama - Waukegan, United States

Loved the old charm of the Auditorium Theatre. Lots of stairs to climb if you were seated anywhere in balcony. Not all floors have bathrooms, make sure if you go get back before intermission ends or you might not be allowed to get back to your seat. Theatre is small enough that all seats are good. Drinks are expensive, but that’s expected.

The Den Theatre

Reviewed By LUchicago

It is worth looking for a parking place to enjoy this unique theater. (Spot Hero is very helpful) We were very surprised by the very comfortable bar and spacious , wide open lounge in the lobby with inviting tables and chairs. The polished wooden floor with beautiful area rugs made the space very welcoming. When we return, we will arrive earlier just to enjoy this beautiful space. The intimate 200 seat theater was a great space for "Always, Patsy Cline"...every seat seemed to have a great view of the stage, and the sound was perfect without being too uncomfortably loud. The presentation was a walk back in time with the haunting voice of Patsy. Such a demanding role was made to look easy by Harmony France as she sang non-stop. She managed to emote the essence of Patsy within the 26 songs (!) with the help of Danni Smith who played her friend. The story moves well through the talent of both women. The Den Theater experience was delightful in every way.

Bordel

Reviewed By MidwestAlpinist - Chicago, United States

My wife and I met friends for drinks at Bordel and then had dinner at the Black Bull restaurant downstairs afterwards. The atmosphere at Bordel is very cool! The drinks are a bit pricey, as you might expect, but its worth it to experience the speakeasy atmosphere. We did not see a live performance but it was fun just to hang out for a bit before dinner.
