The best concert I’ve experienced in Chicago!!! Mereba was phenomenal !!The setting is so intimate, quick and easy to get in, they do require proof of vaccinations or negative COVID test within 72hrs, there’s 3 bars, upstairs seating was open to GA, sound was awesome especially the BASS!!!! Overall great experience definitely my #1 option to see someone.

The show - U.S. Girls headlined w Jane Inc as opener - was excellent. Aside from good performances, the show started on time (8pm) & technical sound quality was fine. Best of all, as a disabled person, I was aided by LH personnel to find good seats in the balcony. There are clean bathrooms & bars upstairs & downstairs - so it's convenient. Using Spot Hero, we found relatively reasonably priced parking within 2 blocks. All was ideal.

I have been to two concerts here and it is a great venue. Can get really close to the stage and no matter where you are you can see the artist very clearly.

I've only been to this lovely little venue twice so far. I got to see SYML back in Nov of 2019 and Ashe for Lolla Aftershow in July of 2021. I absolutely love the fact it's a small and intimate venue. The people at the very front can reach out and actually hold hands with the artists. Which one person I saw, for the Lolla Aftershow, got to hold Ashe's hand for a few seconds and the person's reaction made it to be their best memory of the show. Plus, since the capacity is at 500 people and it's a tiny space. The crowd's energy in the room, from my shows, was very easy to give back to the artist and make the night such a joy. Also, it's very easy to exit the venue too. Love this place and hope see more performances here!

This is hands down the best room in Chicago. From the staff to the shows literally no downside. This is a MUST SEE for any artists that play.

This venue was very laid back. I went to see JP Cooper on March 8, 2023 and it was a perfect venue for a nice, intimate concert. The only set backs were the fact that it was standing room only and the drinks were a bit pricey. Other than that, the acoustics were amazing and it was very easy to see the artists from anywhere you stood. However, being right up front was the best if you hoped to shake hands or even chat with the artists. I got a great picture with the opening act, who was super friendly.

Great small venue. We saw The Crane Wives and sat upstairs with an excellent view overlooking the stage and the floor below. Everything is very well done at this place. We love it!!

Great venue super intimate with whoever you're seeing. Very easy to get up close if you're there an hour before doors open. Was also able to wait inside which was also nice because it was cold.

Def one of the best venues in the city, great sound and always a great time

This is easily my favorite venue in the city. I scope out artists on their schedule to find some new ones to follow. I've found a number of new favorites that way. The venue is kept clean and in good shape. The staff is friendly. It's small enough to feel intimate and get some smaller acts, but big enough to have lively energy and get some larger acts. On the floor you have good visibility of the stage from anywhere, but I absolutely love the wrap around balcony. You feel so close to the stage, but you can sit and relax, not feel pressured, and easily get out to the bar and restrooms and back without losing your spot. I'll take any excuse to see a show here.

Awesome venue! Any show I've seen there is very intimate due to the size. Great bar for a venue as well! Extensive tap/beer list.

One of my favorite concert venues in the city! It’s small and intimate without being overcrowded. There’s nothing fancy or stuffy about this venue. But if you like an intimate atmosphere where you can actually see the performers then Lincoln Hall is perfect for you!

Absolutely loved this venue! It's the perfect size for maximum enjoyment. Big enough for a rowdy dance show with (500) people, but with plenty of space so you aren't smashed together with strangers and you can shift your position for a great view. In fact I think every spot in this venue is a great view. I also really liked the lobby with tables in it. A member of my party wasn't feeling well during the show so he spent most of the time sipping a Coke out in the lobby. When he felt well enough to come in, he went up into the balcony instead of coming onto the dance floor. He said that was really nice as well. I can honestly say I haven't enjoyed a show this much in over 20 years, and the venue was central to that experience. If I didn't live 5 hours away, I would probably try to see as many shows here as possible! 💜🪩🎫

One of my favorite places to see a band. Great beer selection, sound is good, and a perfect small venue.

Great sound and lighting, I loved being able to sit upstairs on the balcony - I had another guest with me who can't stand for the length of a concert due to a disability, and having the chairs, bar, and bathroom upstairs made a huge impact on their ability to enjoy the show.

The sound is great! The space is awesome and comfortable. The staff is kind and welcoming. It's a great place to go and see a great show. It's intimate and yet spacious. There's an upstairs with a balcony and bar that's also cool. Was really impressed by the sound quality and mix.

Okay venue, the hall itself is nice and updated. On the other hand, the ceiling of the show floor is filled with dust. Bass is way too loud, seen people walk away from the speaker bc they couldn’t hear the performer sing. Bring ear plugs.

Wonderful concert experience overall. The staff was organized and knowledgeable, bar was well stocked, and it's a beautiful older building but would recommend a quick cleaning of the ceilings & replacement of the ancient toilet seats 😬

Decent size of a place. 2 different bar stands you can get drinks from, which is convenient. Staff was friendly. Very clean and stage is pretty open. You get a good view from any angle.

it’s amazing and a small respectful place even in larger crowds. i was anxious near the stage so i moved up to the top with i found much better! i really appreciate the extra seating availability. it’s a very beautiful venue that seems to pride themselves on the people who preform. i would feel comfortable coming back again!

First time here, won't be my last! Drinks: The bar on the 1st floor has a great beer selection, a few ciders, and some liq-beer combo deals, like a PBR tallboy w/a shot of Evan ($13). 2nd floor bar has fewer, but still good, options. Sound: The dynamics are awesome, with even a musical act of two people with two instruments able to fill the space and sound spectacular, just as much as a five member band rocking out with moves and grooves. Seats: The balcony has about 25 seats I'm guessing, along the rail. Views from there are blu-ray quality🫡

Went here for Tom Hanks Day! The space was perfect for it. Very accessible, friendly staff, bathrooms were clean, bars were well stocked. Great drink specials. One of the best small/medium venues I've been to.

First timer, and I must say for a small place it was great! The sound was awesome, and the staff was great 👍 My sister wanted to come see Paris Texas, and they did not disappoint 👏 Hope to be back soon for another show!

I absolutely loved this venue. Came to see Eloise last night (awesome performance) and everything was perfect. I think the size of the venue is great for a cozier feel than bigger concerts but still enough room to enjoy yourself. Definitely coming back next time an artist I follow is here.

Very nice smaller venue with excellent acoustics. Most of the staff was very nice. Only thing I didn't like is how quick they were to herd people out the door the second the show ended. When I asked about the restroom I was told the show was over, I needed to leave. Maybe the location limits the hours? I don't know but it was definitely an uncomfortable walk back to the hotel with a full bladder
