Bottom Lounge Tickets

Bottom Lounge – Chicago, IL Tickets

Discover the Iconic Bottom Lounge 

Located in Chicago’s dynamic West Loop neighborhood, Bottom Lounge has emerged as one of the city’s most versatile live entertainment venues. Known for its raw industrial charm and intimate atmosphere, Bottom Lounge is a must-visit destination for fans of live music, alternative acts, and unforgettable nights out. 

Originally opened in the 1990s in Chicago’s Lakeview neighborhood, the venue was displaced in 2001 to make way for the Brown Line L expansion. Fortunately, it found new life in 2008 when it was reborn in its current location on Lake Street, where it has since thrived as a top destination for live music and events. The current space is larger, more accommodating, and offers updated amenities while maintaining the gritty, underground spirit that fans love. 

Bottom Lounge has hosted a wide range of performers across genres—indie rock, metal, punk, electronic, and more. It’s also a popular stop for rising stars and cult favorites who thrive in smaller, high-energy spaces. Its multi-purpose layout also supports private parties, weddings, and even rooftop events.
