We've used bracket-style tournaments to crown champions for the best local TV show, rock band and downtown building.
What's happening: This month, we're bringing the noise by asking you to help name Chicago's best music venue!
Why it matters: Our music clubs offer a point of local pride and serve as the backdrop for memories of favorite shows, new music discoveries and time with friends.
- Plus, we think our music scene rivals the best in the nation despite what some of these baloney lists have to say.
Methodology: We compiled a list of 16 comparable venues, skipping big stadiums and downtown hotspots like Chicago Theatre and House of Blues to focus on neighborhood gems.
- We also included one of the city's most celebrated neighborhood spots, The Hideout, as it reopens this week after controversy.
What's next: Vote for the first round here, and we'll crown a champ by the end of the week!
