Steve WolvesApril 1, 2014Could be the best venue in Chicago! Killer sound, great knowledgeable staff that KNOW good music! So there is always killer bands & killer tunes between. Great bars, great food. CANT LOOSE! GO enjoy!
SarahDecember 5, 2016For such a big venue, the drink prices are SUPER reasonable. Great place to see a show-- and there's a second bar and bathrooms downstairs!
ChicagoistAugust 1, 2014Whenever I know there's an act coming to town that I'm excited to see, I always hope it's at the Double Door because I know they're going to sound great. Read more
RCRD LBLJune 29, 2011Great bands + good acoustics = good times (acts like Art Brut and Bob Log III). But if you come here during the summer, bring a fan. They have AC, but they never seem to turn it on.
Robert licursiMay 23, 2012Smashing Pumpkins, VAST, Hole, Killing Hanah.... Need I say more? Coming up are Rocklahoma, DJ Quik, RAW and so much more! A staple in Chicago
T CallahanNovember 20, 2014Good beer selection to go with some good music. Soul Summit is always a fun time too.
If your a shorty like me go upstairs!! Its a little far away from the stage but worth it to actually see everything if you always have tall people in front of you like me.
Digital Tour BusMay 15, 2011You are currently on one of the trendiest streets in Chicago! If you have time, take a walk around the area. There are a bunch of cool shops!

The FeastJune 10, 2011Get there early enough to snag a seat at the bar. Spin halfway to watch the band, spin halfway again to grab a drink. Repeat as needed.
Volcom EntertainmentAugust 6, 2010Tweak Bird will be rockin the roof off the Double Door on 8/15. If you haven't heard of these two brothers yet, then you are in for a freakin' treat!
