Evanston Space

Gets crowded and the seated area dominates so heavily that the standing room ticket holders feel like they are in a walkway. The servers circle the room that way too, proving it is just a walkway for the higher paying customers. Intimate, but only comfortable if you buy a seat.

Very cozy spot to see your favorite artists up close. Good bar, too!

Great venue. Very intimate, great sound, great performers.

An amazing sound setup with its own private bar in the theater space. We didn't get to eat out front but it was packed and looked super cute.

Amazing venue, great repertoire, excellent sound. Top notch, no corners cut.

A local favorite with great performances...grab a pizza before the show...

Dos Santos, pound cake, and the prettiest girl in the world equals 5 stars.

I like small venues but they cram way too many people in the space. Coming in there are people in standing areas in which there is a lot of traffic. Those lucky to get table seats had no room to move. 4 to a table and no space in between.
We sat in chairs alone the side of the stage, I loved being up close while watching Meshell Ndegeocello perform. Unfortunately, we had to pass drinks down to people in our row of chairs because there wasn't enough room to walk without disrupting everyone sitting there. Lucky we had the end seats. Not having enough space was a big issue.

A beautiful, intimate venue to be up close and personal with the performers. I was with my wife to see Kate Vogel. My wife is a huge fan of here. I paid extra for the meet and greet. I never received any information, and there was nothing posted online about when to get there for the meet and greet. We showed up an hour early for the concert and were informed we missed the meet and greet. When asked for an explanation on why we were not provided a time, and requested a refund, we were brushed aside. We still enjoyed the concert but we're disappointed to have unnecessarily paid extra, and missed out on a once and a lifetime meet and greet for my wife.

Saw Alabama Shakes here. Intimate, swank and great service. Good pizza joint connected to it as well.

Great smaller venue with outstanding sound. Just wish the chairs were more comfortable and tables a little bigger, but then there would be less room, so I guess I understand the tables being smaller. Had a great time seeing Aaron Neville there.

Very nice and intimate venue for a show. They had a good selection of whiskies, and the serving staff did a great job taking orders during the event without disruption. Also, the pizza joint attached to the front makes great little pizzas. Will return again if a show pops up and highly recommend.

This is such a fun place to see a show. It's kinda chill and usually an older crowd, but that depends on who's playing. The drink prices are reasonable for a music venue.

A great small space for music. Intimate concerts and a full bar. Interesting acts- like Pigpen the band I saw.

Nice place to enjoy great music. Intimate setting.

The food in the restaurant is fabulous but the venue is unbelievable. Small, intimate, and they book very cool acts. I saw The Bad Plus there and they are out of this world good at what they do.

I love the intimacy of this place. It's like a c concert in your living room with very uncomfortable chairs. Reserve tickets early to get a table.

Great venue. Very quaint and creates an intamate atmosphere.

Saw Dusty Hearts play and was very impressed with the venue as well as the pizza. I recommend the 4 cheese. Great place

Great for small acts. All the service staff - from the bartenders to the hostess - were incredibly warm and friendly. We're definitely going to be seeing shows here in the future.

Awesome venue for musical events with great small plates up front! Loved it!

Fantastic intimate venue for hearing concerts! Eclectic booking policy. And great food up front at Union Pizza.

Great concert venue. Terrific sound. Eclectic lineup. Good, reserved seating and sightlines.

Lucy Wainwright Roche. Excellent small venue performance. Great wait staff too. If you're looking for a wonderful experience : Space delivers

Small and intimate concert venue. They always have a good line up of Indie, and less commercial acts. The interior is simple but beautiful. It's one of my favorite places right outside Chicago.

Best venue i have been into years. My buddy is highly anticipated to try out the Zaaa next time

One of the best venues for a show in Chicago. The food at the restaurant is great too.

Absolutely love this place. Small venue with a peaceful vibe. Would love to see another show here. Very intimate.

Great music venue. Excellent sound, Everyone is pretty close to the music, no obscured views, good bar.

Kermit only played for 60 minutes at tonight's 7 PM show. Very disappointing that they ended 75 minutes before the next show. Don't know if that is on the Kermit or the venue. Not a good value for my $44 seat. Usually Space is usually an excellent deal, but watch out when the artist puts on two shows in a night. My bad I should have waited a day to catch Kermit at Fitzgeralds the on Saturday for $25.

I came here with my gf for a concert featuring Andrew Combs, Jay Nash, and Christopher Paul Stelling. Concert lasted from 8-11pm, and Jay Nash was probably my favorite.

The venue is small, but the seats are pretty close to the stage, and the acoustics are great.

Had a great time with friends. Music from Susan Werner was fantastic! Very entertaining time!

Pizza before show at the Union was very tasty. Show was awesome.

What a great venue for music. Sound was on point & even standing in the back it's a small enough place that that view is still perfect.

Small concert venue, would be hard to have a bad seat. Very enjoyable.

Evanston's premier concert destination, Space, to quote Sun Ra, " Is The Place"!

An intimate room featuring outstanding performers, fantastic sightlines &wonderful acoustics, Space is not to be missed!!

The standing room option really sucks, but besides that.. good venue.

Intimate seating, great food available in front of house, and tremendous line up of acts.

The pumpkin patch at Space's Summer Stage is a great alternative to the packed pumpkin patches during COVID. The donuts and cider were delicious and we even got to enjoy the sounds of the concert while we picked out pumpkins. I applaud their creativity during these difficult times for live venues. If you can catch a live show before it gets too cold, that looks like lot of fun, too. They have a fire pit and a tent. So cozy!

Really enjoy Space for live music or simply dancing. A small space that packs a big bang. Highly recommended.

By far my favorite live music venue. Lighting and sound are top notch. The venue is intimate and every seat is a great view. The booker does an amazing job securing wonderful artists. Bar has great drinks (I especially enjoy the Manhattan with 4 roses rye). You can bring in pizza from Union to enjoy with your show.

Perfect place to see a show any night of the week. Relaxing and easy to get to.

Great music, good selection of drinks, restaurant on site, easy Street parking

GREAT venue! Filled with real music lovers..Dave is a really a genius for having this venue..Thanks again #kilbornalley #atrain

Fantastic music venue. Intimate setting and great acoustics. No seat is a bad one. Highly recommend bringing in pizza from the attached Union Pizzeria.

My view is a little different since I have had the pleasure of performing at Space. They take such good care of the band and the food is scrumptious. They are always very accommodating and kind. Cheers to Evanston Space!

Drove down from Milwaukee and had read good reviews of the place, but I can say it was unquestionably the best live music venue I've been to.

Not only was the sound quality top notch, but the whole vibe of the club - sort of a jazz club feel - makes it very appealing. The set-up for this show was cabaret tables: 4 rows, 5 per row, 4 seats per table. And while they definitely were arranged in a way to allow maximum people close to the stage, at not point did it remotely seem cramped.

I would definitely drive the 90 minutes to see shows here again.

Wonder space to eat and take in a show in a comfortable atmosphere.
