on Judys Book Sep 06, 2010I went this past Sunday for the music and poetry slam for the first time. It was great! I have not had this much fun in Chi-town since I moved here 4 years ago. The drinks are pricey, but the for the money the entertainment ... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 16, 2009The night started well enough, for a place that only takes cash and overcharges on drinks. The atmosphere was kind of somber, the tables were dirty, and the place lost its luster a long time ago. The manager came up to ... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 14, 2009Go to the Green Mill on Sunday afternoons for the world-famous poetry slam. You'll see poets dancing, jumping, rapping, leaping onto tables and baring their souls for the chance to win applause and -- just maybe -- ... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 16, 2008First off, for anyone who loves jazz, this is probably the best club in the country, not just Chicago. I find it funny some think it is pretentious of the owners to ask people to be quite during the music. There are decent ... (more)

on Judys Book May 13, 2006Green Mill is a famous place around this town. This club will take you back to the days when jazz was "it". Where cool cats in zoot suits and and gold watches partied and danced the night away. Well you may not see anyone ... (more)

on Judys Book May 05, 2006The Green Mill is a quintessential jazz club, so don't come here expecting to shake your groove thing to techno. If you're a fan of a sitting back and soaking in some great jazz, then this is for you. I'm not a huge mixed ... (more)

on Judys Book Apr 27, 2006The Green Mill was a speakeasy back in the days of Al Capone, and it appears not to have changed much since. The cash register is clearly very old, and it's really cool looking, but it has the unfortunate habit of chiming ... (more)
