Reviews for Subterranean in Chicago, IL
Great venue! It?s definitely quite small at the main stage, but it packs a punch. Saw Loathe here, security was quick and the... bands sounded great. Surrounding area is great as well to grab some food before the show Read more
Awesome venue. Easy to access, easy to see the acts and no part of the venue is paywalled.
The staff is a joke. 2 were drunk and grinding on each other and yelling at us to not bring a cup of water outside of the venue.... Didn't realize they were staff due to the above, but they were... sad. I also forgot my ID and had a photo of it and somehowbecause of that, all my friends couldn't drink even though they had id's and we are all well over 40 clearly. Also, yourbartender was too busy hitting on someone to serve us, took 10 minutes to get to us he spoke to the same girl the entire timeand kept glaring at us and giving us the motion to move away. Sorry, do your job dude. Read more
love loveee this place. i love the area a lot. there?s a starbucks and a walgreens around the corner if you?re in line and need... a drink or to piss. the place is really cool and the staff is chill as hell. i?ve seen over 10 shows here but haven?t been backin some two years. the place is really intimate and small (which i like) and staff always look after you. i remember gettingkicked in the head at a show and staff communicating with me from the side to make sure i was okay and also not interruptanything. after shows are chill too you can hang out, get merch and staff offer water to anyone. glad they didn?t shut down dueto the pandemic, i heard that was a thing that might?ve happened. really good place hopefully i?ll be back soon <3 Read more
Had a great time, saw Doobie perform live for $20! It was such a small intimate crowd we were at the front of the stage! Awesome... performance, met him personally outside for a pic, best time I had In years! Read more
Seen Heart Attack Man here on April 3rd. Atmosphere was great, venue is spacious, and the front door staff were welcoming. My... only "problem" was the urinals in the bathroom being too close to each other. Although, you'll probably enjoy the experiencehere if you don't need to use the bathroom and/or you enjoy being shoulder-to-shoulder with someone in there. Read more
Just had a fantastic night. No issues upstairs and awesome vibes. Got to see Glass Beach, Oux, and Home is Where. The beer is... is like $5 for a domestic tall boy and $8 for a draft of a solid semi local selection that I cannot complain about. The venuespace is sick! 2 floors one over hanging the stage so it's viewable from several angles. Definitely a space I'd love to play inand certainly one where I'd be an audience member in. Instant 5 stars for having gender neutral bathrooms. Read more
What a nice spot to see some bands play The building is old and has a great charm to it, the top floor is where they put the... merch and small bar, second floor has the beer and the main is where the bands play. I love small venues like this and havewanted to see bands play here for many years so it was nice to finally make it to see a show. The acoustics sounded really goodand I would love to make it back!
