Fantastic live music. Loved the experience, it was a rather quiet night but we all really enjoyed ourselves.

Came to Rosa's Lounge to see a friend of mine play the blues, Stefan Hillesheim. This was the first time that I've been to this establishment due to work requirements. I had been invited many times before but I couldn't make it due to my work hours. This time I was able to go! It was everything that I expected. I ordered my tickets on line and was at the door when it opened at 8:00PM. The atmosphere was that of an old blues club, where you'd come and see Muddy Waters and Buddy Guy. The staff was very polite and friendly. There is no kitchen but you can have your food delivered or bring it in with you. The show started on time and was every bit as good as you would expect from going to see a show at some of the bigger blues venues in Chicago. I would definitely recommend Rosa's Lounge for a night out on the town, this is a must see! Put it on your bucket list! I'll be coming back soon!

Went here to see a 9:00 performance. The band did not start until 9:45 with no announcement or update on the delay. We just sat and watched them mill around in no rush to get started. We ended up leaving shortly after they finally did start. Our mood was soured by the wait. The owner stopped us on the way out and inquired why we were leaving. After explaining to him, he acknowledged and apologized for the delay and offered to give us a refund. We declined, so he gave us a card for free entry on another night. I really appreciated that and very much changed my view on the spot. He genuinely seemed to care and wanted us to have a good experience. I would give the spot another go. The vibe is pretty good and seems like a fun night out. The drinks were decent.

Absolutely the place to be if you're looking for a cozy bar with live entertainment. A pretty Diverse crowd and a band called Lil Ed and the Imperials played last weekend and they were AWESOME!!! The Lead singer took photos with us and interacted with our group all night, so if you are ever in Chicago you HAVE to go this spot when they are playing if you love GOOD blues! Drinks were pretty good too!

Great little blues bar! Great music played by Sheryl Youngblood! Awesome drinks and was super fun to chat with the ladies tending bar! We were in town from Utah and discovered this gem! We will visit this place again when we return to Chicago and would recommend it to anyone looking for a fun blues club!!

Don’t miss if you go to Chicago Do you wanna enjoy a great blues show at a legendary place? Just go to Rosa’s Lounge. Jennifer warmingly welcomes guests! The night we’re there, Win Noll & the Rockin’ Souls we’re playing! Great music! It was 1AM, we’re the last 6 customers and the band still playing! The place does not have a kitchen, but you can order food online and it’ll be delivered to your table. Make your reservation online and arrive 1 hour before the show to pick up a good table. They stream the shows so if you want to virtually visit the place, go online, talk to Jennifer, enjoy good music, and tip the band and the servers.

We had a fantastic time at Rosa’s! We went on a Thursday and saw Lil Ed Williams and were blown away! All the musicians were so talented and put on a really fun show. If you don’t think of yourself as a blues fan, you’ll change your mind after visiting Rosa’s!

Rosas has great music, a friendly team, and an authentic atmosphere. They know what they do and they do it well!! 💛👍🏻

Rosa's is a small and intimate blues lounge with the best blues acts around. Extremely friendly atmosphere with very reasonable drink prices (bring your own food). Great sound system. If your looking for an authentic blues lounge, Rosa's is the place to go. Go celebrate Rosa's 39th year in business and listen to some of the best blues on planet Earth.

Hidden Gem! Great Live Blues music. Been here many times and it never disappoints. The music is so good and the staff is very cool. The musician are highly skilled and extremely passionate when they are performing and many guest musician stop in late night and have great jam sessions. This musical oasis is definitely worth a visit again and again.

For the Love of Blues and a room filled with talent on the stage in an intimate setting, this is it. Parking is street, so if you can take transportation do it! Staff are hospitality with a smile. Great Chicago gem!

Best blues bar in Chicago, hands down. This is the most intimate club where the musicians come down and hang in between sets. They are humble and grateful musicians, and the staff is great too. Bottom line, the music just sounds better here.

Great band Great Sound Great bartender Lady working door was rude We Did not feel welcome. She ruined the whole experience. We were trying to pay cover charge she put a strong push on our friend when he was trying to make room for people coming out of club . Pete Galanis band was great We will just go see him play somewhere else!

Chicago blues bar 🍻 great music!!! Be ready to go get your own beverages, waiter service was non-existent

Friendliest place I've sat down in in all Chicago. Bear Williams, his band, and family all put on a great show, the staff and the regulars feel like friends and neighbors right away. Drinks were good and reasonably priced. We'll be back.

Such a great place to see live music! Melvin Taylor was superb, as always! The staff was friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend 😎

Outstanding entertainment and the staff are amazing. The woman at the front door is such a sweetheart and the bartenders were so friendly. Highly recommend this place for a good blues experience!

Great neighborhood dive for cool local talent. If you love blues, nowhere better in the city. Beware of parking tickets. They ticket you even if you've paid!

Rosa's is a cozy dive bar with top notch live blues five nights a week and a small dance floor. Take some cash to tip the musicians.

A few of us went there last night. Great little venue, very attentive service, mixed review on that nights music. Sayer was the first performer and he played a helluva good guitar and shared some cool history about the blues. During the first few songs his voice was good but then he kind of screamed the last few. Willy buck was the late act. His band was tight and had some great musicians. To be honest, Willy was the worst blues singer I have ever heard. Going back next month to see Ivy Ford.

Incredible place with insanely good music and really funny decor. Not sure why they still have their New Year's 2022 decorations up but they do! Really nice staff and great atmosphere. Good live sound too.

I bought $20 tick3ts ahead of time so we had a guaranteed table. It was so easy, drinks are cheap, and the ticket is well worth it for such amazing blues music (we saw a Grammy award winner!) Highly, highly recommend.

Went to the Melvin Taylor show on Sept 9th 2023. We had an amazing time! Melvin Taylor was absolutely INCREDIBLE, the atmosphere is quaint, intimate, & fills me with sweet nostalgia. Tony, the owner, so kind & sweet. I would definitely go back. We had a blast!

Great bar with live music. On that day, the band performing was good and everyone was enjoying it including some dancing. There is a cover charge that is a bit steep but the cocktails and other drinks are good.

Fantastic! Really nice cousy club, super friendly stuff. Best musical experience I have had. The club was actually full of musicians on audience side. In the end they were all on stage... Just fantastic!

Went here for the first time and had such a great evening. Watched Stephen Hull perform live - WOW! The staff at the front door were very friendly as were the bartenders. Very easy to find a seat, very intimate vibe and had a great view of the band. HIGHLY recommend Rosa’s if you enjoy blues music.

My family of 20+ had a magical experience at Rosa’s. Tony and Jennifer were so accommodating for our large group in our efforts to celebrate a relative’s 94th birthday. Both the atmosphere and music were unforgettable. THANK YOU!!!

One of the most friendly Blues clubs in all Chicago!!)Tony and his staff are truly amazing!!and tuesday nites are my favorite Blues performance to enjoy , with Pete Galanis on guitar ,Dave Herrero & Friends!! Highly recommended

Excellent music!! Great little blues lounge! Fantastic staff, so much fun!
