Ravenswood
A neighborhood in Chicago
Ravenswood is a typically quiet neighborhood on Chicago's North Side, where the live-music options are modest but real. The biggest music institution in the area is the Old Town School of Folk Music at 4544 N. Lincoln Ave., a teaching and performing institution that has launched the careers of notable folk artists including John Prine and Steve Goodman. For casual bar-with-music nights, The Ravenswood Tavern sits at 1829 W. Montrose Ave. It is an easygoing neighborhood bar with darts, a jukebox, and a variety of beers and cocktails that frequently hosts live music nights featuring local bands. Patron reviews note acts ranging from zydeco to jazz. The bar does not serve food, keeping the focus on drinks and music. Once a year, the neighborhood adds an outdoor dimension: the Ravenswood On Tap festival draws independent Chicago musicians to perform alongside Malt Row breweries along Ravenswood Ave.
