Q: Do I need ID to enter the venue?

A: Yes, if there is an age restriction on the event.  An ID is also required if you plan on drinking alcohol. Because we are an all-ages venue we take checking ID’s very seriously. In compliance with Illinois laws anyone 21 and older who plans on drinking alcohol will have to show a valid, non-expired, government issued photo ID, no matter how old you think you may look. Anyone without proper ID, regardless of age, will be treated as under 21 and not allowed to buy, hold or drink alcohol. This policy is strictly enforced and any violation will result in immediate ejection from the venue.

 

Q: What time does the band go on?

A: The time listed on your ticket and on the purchase page of the website is the door time, not the show time. Set times vary and typically are not announced till the day of the show. Please keep in mind that set times, as well as opening acts, are always subject to change without notice. We suggest you arrive early. 

 

Q: What time should I get there to get a good place to see the show?

A: We like to think that there are no bad sight lines in the club, but if you’re one of those folks who needs to be right up front we suggest you be in line before doors open. Keep in mind that no matter how early you line up there may already be people ahead of you in line and you are not guaranteed any particular spots inside.

 

Q: Do you have a dress code?

A: We only insist that you be dressed and wear shoes. Sensible footwear is strongly advised and there are occasionally shows where spiked jewelry and chains will not be allowed. Personal items such as pocket knives, pepper spray, flasks, outside food and drinks or anything that could be considered dangerous or contraband will not be allowed in the building. Purses and bags will be searched prior to entry.

 

Q: Where can I park my car?

A: Street parking is available all around the theater off of Irving Park Road.
