Step inside here and you're stepping into another time/alternate dimension. A place where everybody is cool and everybody comes to listen to great music, sip excellent libations, and enjoy a very very unique and special place/atmosphere. It's an impressive accomplishment that this bar/venue has stood the test of time. In a sad way it reminded me of some of the venues in NYC that haven't, but in the same hand it makes you thankful that it has. Green Mill definitely has some remains of a different era- cash only at the bar and a considerable (but totally worth it) cover charge. But, you're paying for the experience here. And what an experience it is. On any given night you're going to hear some impressive local jazz acts, late into the night if that's your thing as their doors stay open until the wee hours of the morning. Their drink range is small but excellent, and they even have one of my all time favorite (and hard to find) beers available, La Fin du Monde. Any place that boasts that on their menu is top notch in my book. The staff are also great, and speedy.
For the tourists out there, don't visit here unless you're aware of the vibe/atmosphere. This isn't a place to pop into and take IG photos, have some respect and try to appreciate what an institution the Green Mill is. For the rest of y'all, if you love high quality live Jazz in an awesome setting this is the place for you. I'm definitely coming back on my next visit to Chicago.
