The Green Mill - side

Like it! Definitely a local-jazz experience, not for everyone. Service is friendly in general terms, but not expect guided tours (like many tourists in the reviews). Great main and support performers.

As dingy and funky as you’d expect from such an old and storied venue. We attended the Paper Machete show 3pm on Saturday afternoons — well recommended, extremely sharp and entertaining and good music too, a wonderful show

“Green Mills” is fascinating. There are evenings when, when the Jazz or Swing band is on, it feels like traveling back in time to the 20's and 30's. The story goes that the famous gangster “Al Capone” used to be a regular customer of this place, and he even has secret doors and passages (not open to the public). So if you are one of those who is inclined to know historical places, “Green Mills” is one of those that you must visit.

The bouncer would not let me 20 year old brother in when we drove 3 hours to see a show here

The green mill is an absolute dream of a live music time warp where cash is king, the dance floor is for dancing and not standing, and where memories are made. Don't sleep on this gem, it's worth the trek from whereever you are.
