What an amazing place!! The Green Mill has such an amazing atmosphere and you can feel the history inside. On a Saturday night at ~8:30, we only had to wait about 15 mins to get in. As expected, it does get really full, so be prepared for a tight squeeze. However, we managed to get through the main crowd off the side where we could enjoy some drinks before the next jazz set. An awesome employee managed to get us two seats right near the stage just in time for the set which was really appreciated, and she was very lovely! The drinks were delicious and very well priced for the type of place. Stayed for 2 sets, both of which were outstanding as expected. Definitely a spot for really high quality live jazz, and we can’t wait to be back!

Truly authentic historic jazz club. Some of the best Chicago jazz in a different style every night. Definitely worth checking out Tuesday nights for the Chicago Cellar Boys. They play incredibly authentic 1920 style jazz. Feels like you have stepped back in time when you walk in the door. Bring cash…and your dancing shoes on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

This is a historic Chicago icon. Yes, Al Capone used to hang here and there are underground tunnels where they store their beer! On Saturday they have free comedy shows which are great, but get there early for good seats. This is a cash only establishment with great cheap drinks and it’s such a vibe.

I attended a show there Saturday for their Christmas show with my friend and it was great! My server Sarah was fantastic and really friendly. Pretty quick service especially as busy as it was in there. Cool atmosphere. They don’t serve food but you’re allowed to bring food. Cash only. We got there a little early and got a nice booth.

We thoroughly enjoyed our evening at the Greene Mill. The music was nothing less than fantastic!
It was on a Tuesday night with the Chicago Cellar boys that included a female tenor sax player. They were playing 1920s in 1930s music. they were all virtuosos. And you could tell totally dedicated to the music.
The manager was pretty rude. That was the only negative. And they need to turn the front seats around to face the stage.
But overall, truly great and memorable time!

Best place to listen to Jazz music. We want to welcome a new year with a good dose of music. This is the place for all lovers of Jazz. Relax and enjoy the rhythms.

The Green Mill is one of those iconic Chicago spots that feels like stepping back in time. The vintage décor, dim lighting, and old-school bar setup give it a moody, classic jazz club atmosphere. You can almost feel the history in the room. I went for a live jazz night, and the musicians were incredibly talented — intimate, raw, and authentic. Drinks are solid and reasonably priced for such a historic venue. It’s not flashy or modern, but that’s exactly the charm. If you love live music and a bit of Chicago history, this place delivers a memorable night out.

We came here to enjoy some incredible jazz — and the music and atmosphere were absolutely worth it. A truly authentic experience with talented performers and a great sound system.
Just make sure to set your expectations: this is an old-style bar with limited seating, and you might even be asked to share a couch with strangers. Luckily, the crowd is friendly and adds to the vibe.
Drinks are just okay but priced really well. It’s cash only, so be prepared. The crew has their own unique style — don’t expect overly smiley service, but they’re nice and they get the job done.
Overall, a great place to relax, enjoy real jazz, and feel like you’re stepping back in time.

Nice jazz music and atmosphere that travels you to the past. It is said that Al Capone used to go there.
Negatives: You can pay only cash.
The personnel, with the exception of a waitress, was not polite.

It’s a fun place. Just it only operates on cash, no cards. And the place has a cover charge of $10 when you enter. Apart from this, it’s great. The music was great, ambiance was amazing and the drinks were also good. Highly recommend if you like Jazz music.
