Elmhurst

A suburb in the Chicago area

Elmhurst's Taproom at 93 Octane Brewery anchors the suburb's live-music calendar with a recurring country focus: every Wednesday from 7 to 10 PM the taproom hosts live country music featuring a rotating lineup of local artists performing country hits and acoustic sets. Pair that with 50% off barrel-picked whiskeys on the same night. Stage 119, at 119 Commerce Ave, opens Fridays and Saturdays from 7:30 PM to 2 AM and is Elmhurst's largest dedicated live-music room. The downtown venue hosts comedy shows, live bands, special events, and DJ nights. Acts like Hairbangers Ball, Beyond the Blonde, and Rod Tuffcurls & The Bench Press have performed there, and the booking leans toward cover bands and tribute acts spanning rock, pop, and 80s hair-metal. Tannins Wine Bar & Boutique appears on Yelp's list of bars with live music near Elmhurst, and a reviewer notes the live music there is "always excellent," though specific booking details are limited.
