Wood Dale

Local Bar & Grille is a sports bar and restaurant in Wood Dale near O'Hare Airport and the suburb's main indoor live-music stop. Bands play on Saturdays, and music bingo runs on Wednesdays. During the day the place runs calm and casual; at night things shift into musical performances and time around the patio's fire pit. Beyond Local Bar & Grille, live music in Wood Dale is largely city-driven. The Sounds of Summer and Cruise Nights series is held at the green space at Wood Dale Road and Commercial Street, with free Friday-night concerts open to the public. Prairie Fest is a four-day festival that has grown to include food, live music, a carnival, and fireworks. Recent lineups have leaned toward cover acts and tribute bands alongside the occasional national name.
