Metro - Live music venue in Chicago - 3730 N Clark St, USA

Good venue with ornate interior right across from Wrigley Field. Extremely easy to get to by transit and well incorporated into the surrounding area. I like the layout where everyone is very close to the stage, downside being that some areas are pretty far off to the side. The balcony is really nice and I highly recommend grabbing some of the bar type seating which is off to the side of the balcony. Definitely one of the better venues in the city with an intimate feel.

Great venue! Another favorite of mine. They do not serve Old Style, but have a good selection of domestic and craft beers. And yes, beer is expensive here. It's a venue in Chicago. That is just how it is. Great sound, great atmosphere. Been coming here for years.

Great small-mid sized venue located by Wrigley field. Music is never too loud. There's a nice balcony railing to view from along with the main floor. I have been too many shows here from pop to electronic to metal.

Bring earplugs or they also sell them there for like a buck. Your noise canceling headphones also work for this purpose. Pregame at G-Man next door if you’re into dives. Big Star a few blocks away for good food and drink. Chicago style hot dogs and other food like that across the street.

Fun evening at this event (the one where Botch was playing tonight). I got no complaints about this theater. I'd gripe about the fact that buying drinks is cash only, but with that crowd tonight, I'd imagine it'd be hell on the bartenders if they managed tabs, so I'll give it a pass based on circumstances. Had tons of fun in the theater, and I'd definitely come back if they had more metal bands performing there. (I also love it when they have techno music playing upstairs, too, like Smartbar).

Metro is an Iconic Chicago venue. If you’re an audiophile who loves their music live, more likely than not you’ve either been here on numerous occasions or have experienced live footage of your favorite band playing here at some point or another. My most recent experience was attending Chicago Reader’s Best Of Chicago celebration. Definitely catch a show here sometime soon! P.S. i highly recommend not driving to the venue as finding parking can be a nightmare (use spot hero to make it less chaotic). If you must drive check the street for the signs, to avoid getting towed/ticketed as it gets especially sus during the game days.

Absolutely love this venue! Have been going there since i was 14 years old, And well 22 years later still the best smaller venue to see huge touring acts and last minute pop up shows. Have also had the wonderful opportunity to film here on several occasions. The stave is amazing and is just an absolutely amazing place to see a show... If you have never seen a show at the metro in chicago. You are definitely missing out if you're a real concert goer!

First of all I want to say that the venue itself is ok and the sound was pretty good. However the security staff were some of the rudest and most aggressive people I have ever experienced. I've been going to metal and hardcore shows for 25 years and this was the first time I was afraid, not of the crowd but of the incredibly aggressive security staff. After the show one of them literally threw a girl that couldn't have been more than 100lbs out onto the icy sidewalk. I thought that security was supposed to protect the guests and not make them feel uncomfortable.
