Lemont

Lemont has live music year-round, spread across a handful of bars and a large entertainment complex in its downtown core. Heroes West is a 25,000-square-foot entertainment destination with bowling lanes, pool tables, a dedicated performance stage, and 26 taps. Shows run on Friday and Saturday nights and can take place inside or outside. The venue draws a wide range of acts, including punk and heavy music nights alongside acoustic sets. Bottles, a smaller bar on Talcott Avenue, hosts blues, country, and pop performances, along with open-mic nights featuring local acts like the Stoned Blues Band. It also offers craft beer, wine, a patio, and gaming. Hughie McClafferty's, an Irish pub in downtown Lemont, brings in local musicians and performers occasionally throughout the year. One Eleven Martini Parlour rounds out the four music-friendly bars in the area. The Lemont Park District and Village of Lemont also run a free summer concert series held in downtown Lemont, adding outdoor programming to the mix on select summer evenings.
