Bottom Lounge is a music hall, a restaurant, and a great venue for you to host your private parties and events.

That depends on what you’re coming here for. Our shows have different age restrictions, and those are always listed on each show on the website, so be sure to check the show you want to go to. The restaurant and the rooftop deck are 21 & over.

You’re a little old to be saying your age in fractions, friend. You can come if you bring a parent or legal guardian. YOUR parent or legal guardian. Not your older brother/sister/cousin, not your uncle, not your friend’s uncle, not your uncle’s friend, and not your friend that is an adult. The city has rules and those rules contain curfew laws that are not up to us.

There’s a “Buy Tickets” link on each show page — you can get them there. If you would rather talk to a human being on the phone, you can call TicketWeb at 1-866-777-8932. You can get tickets at the door if the show isn’t sold out, but we do not take cash.

Bottom Lounge is one and a half blocks east of the Ashland stop on the Green and Pink CTA lines, as well as the Ashland bus. If you’re driving or biking, we recommend checking Google.

We have a small, but free lot adjacent to the club. There is metered street parking in the neighborhood. Please keep in mind there are parking restrictions on any street in Chicago, and you should always look for any signs explaining those near your car.

We need you to have clothes on most of your body, including shoes. Other than that, we don’t really care what you are wearing as long as it doesn’t potentially cause an injury to someone else.

Generally speaking, any camera other than the camera on your phone requires media credentials. If you want to shoot professionally or cover an event for a publication, you will need to get permission from the artist’s management to get a media pass.

Backpacks are allowed in the venue, yes. However, it will be inspected by security upon your arrival. Prohibited items include: drugs, alcohol, food & drink, weapons, and anything else that would impede on others’ ability to enjoy the show. Additionally, we will not be able to check your bag in our coat check, so be prepared to lug it around with you all night.

We do not allow hula hoops, poi, wands, or staffs. Hydration packs are also not allowed. Gloves and goggles are fine.

We do! It is open seasonally (give us a call to double-check) at $5 per item, cash only. No bags or purses, though, so please plan accordingly.

If a show is sold out, we don’t have any more tickets to sell you, plain and simple.
