Wicker Park
A neighborhood in Chicago
Wicker Park has long drawn artists and musicians, with music venues spread around the six corners where North, Milwaukee, and Damen Avenues meet. Wicker Park Fest, a music-first summer street festival, has anchored that tradition, with Subterranean serving as a curatorial partner since the festival's start. Subterranean has been a cornerstone of the neighborhood's scene since 1994, hosting acts ranging from Lizzo and Alabama Shakes to Fall Out Boy, and is home to the 606 Open Mic, the longest-running hip-hop open mic in the nation, on Tuesdays, and a Thursday-night reggae residency called Reggae Gold. The venue runs two floors: a cabaret-style stage upstairs and an intimate performance space downstairs, with live acts nearly every night. On the bar-with-music side, Bourbon on Division is a multi-level whiskey bar with live performances on its second floor and a house DJ running until 4am nightly. Bordel takes a different approach: a candlelit cabaret that stages jazz musicians, burlesque performers, flamenco artists, and cabaret dancers nightly, with a focus on Chicago talent, including many of the city's top studio musicians and producers.
