Why You’ll Love It
The Green Mill is a genuine glimpse into Chicago’s Prohibition past, where jazz legends played, and Al Capone had his own booth. With its velvet-curtained stage, vintage posters, and a bar that's been around for over a century, it feels like stepping back in time.
The cocktails are strong, the live jazz keeps the room buzzing, and the history is palpable. Once partially owned by “Machine Gun” McGurn and under Capone’s control, it's a spot where true crime fans and history buffs can soak in the atmosphere. The Green Mill isn’t just a bar; it’s a piece of Chicago’s soul.

Stop by on a Sunday night for the Poetry Slam! It’s become a bit of a hidden gem at this old-school spot. The atmosphere is raw, with talented poets taking the stage and giving the place a fresh, modern vibe while still holding onto its history. And who knows, as the jazz plays into the night, you might feel the ghost of Capone tipping his hat to the music and the energy that still fills the room. It’s a cool blend of the past and present that makes for a unique night out.
