Qype: The Elbo Room in Chicago



Chicago


Definitely a little sweet spot on the belly of Lakeview. Nestled away it's a great spot to go grab a brew and catch a new band. Upstairs is quite small and gets crowded rather quick, but no matter because on to the downstairs is a nice size for a decent sized crowd for a not-so-known band. Giving that nice illusion of a full house and not hurting anyones feelings if it's not all the way full.

Kicker to this place are the $5 tall boys of DAB - a German beer that not once I saw in my entire year living in Germany. It tastes like the German version of PBR but after two or so, you've gotten 4 beers for the price of two and generally stop tasting the beer. Door staff were great, bartenders entertaining and a good crowd.
