    A truly magical place. What a wonderful place for music, wine and friends. Laura has transformed this establishment into one of the best live music spots in the south suburbs. Definitely try the pizza or charcuterie board. Open Mic on Thursday and most Sundays. 40% off bottles of wine Wednesday along with music and definitely amazing music on Friday and Saturday

    Went to the Studio for the 1st time for the Drag Queen Show this past Sunday . The place is nice , the food was good but the seating for our group was bad , 2 out of our group of 6 could not see the stage , when I asked to be reseated I was told that the Drag Queens did most of their performing walking around and we would be able to see it , not true , when walking through the crowd they were mainly just collecting dollars. When I said something again I was told I should have bought my tickets earlier . Really??? If I spoke to people like that I wouldn’t have a job. Won’t be going back there any time soon!

    This establishment is incredible all around. The variety of high-quality drinks is great. Plus, the food menu, while small, has delicious selections made by the owner. Also, there is the live entertainment. Music and comedy, any and all acts tend to put on great shows AND are usually local, meaning The Studio does a good job supporting the community on both ends. Most of all is the atmosphere. The owner is so caring and devoted to giving everyone a wonderful experience, and it’s hard not to leave The Studio thinking you’ve found something magical. You’ll want to keep coming back not just for the service, but the people you meet, staff and patrons alike.

    This is an actual music venue..... not a sports bar trying to be a music venue, not a restaurant trying to be a music venue. Exactly what the South Suburbs needs more of. An actual music venue. Music is the focus here and the vibe is fantastic! Don't delay - get down to the studio for live music! You won't regret it! The staff is great, the music is great, you can't go wrong!

    Has quickly become my absolute favorite place to hang out. Service is great and very personable - I feel like family every time I walk in. Atmosphere is exactly what you'd want from a wine/martini bar. Live music is always spot on, with some incredibly talented artists. Good food too! Small plates, and very well done. The perfect accompaniment to a few well-made cocktails!

    I went here on a friday evening when they had live music playing. I really loved the quaint/unique vibe of this place. It felt very personal and comfortable. I highly recommend this establishment for anyone that is interested in having more of a lowkey/chill night.

    Great place to spend time with friends and family. Good drinks and food. Look for LIVE MUSIC nights.

    Hadn’t been to the bar due to a bad experience previously. My husband and I decided to give it another try and we were again disappointed. Waited 20 minutes for service, we were blatantly ignored by the bartender and after 20 minutes walked out without ever being acknowledged. Went down the street to another local establishment and had drinks in our hands before we even hit the seats… poor service, do not recommend.

    Only had one drink but there was a very nice vibe.

    Excellent all around. It's definitely the place to get an old fashion. Added to that, there is always great service and the perfect intimate setting to listen to live music.

    Fantastic little live music venue! Great for a chill night of great talented artist entertainment! The service is fantastic and the servers truly enjoy their job! We got there early but the place fills up as the night goes on.

    This place is the best kept secret in the Southwest suburbs. The music is phenomenal, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the owner Laura may be both the hardest working and nicest person I've ever seen. Open mics and open jams, lots of great bands, drinks, food, clean restrooms, this place has it all!

  • 5/5 John F. 1 year ago on Google
    Owner is chill and makes the best food, also mixes up some awesome cocktails, very inclusive to all musicians, amateur to pro and a nice place to just sit and listen

  • 5/5 Renee H. 1 year ago on Google

    Great place. Drink are very good - Squirrel (bartender) makes them right. Seen an improv group there, nice set up.

    Port Noir Wine & Martini Bar in Lockport Illinois is a quaint place. It is small yet has great charm. We saw an amazing band there on December 29, 2018 named Barefoot Elephants. It is mostly original music but very good. We also witnessed a PROPOSAL by the Bass player in the band. It was a very sweet time. The place was packed but we were able to get our drinks and enjoy a fun evening. Thank you!

    Great place for live music and unique drinks. Food is fabulous! Sunday night jam sessions bring the best musicians in the area, including the owner!

  • 5/5 Alexandra T. 1 year ago on Google
    Such an amazing place. A real family type feel, and live music every night! You can even come try out your own skills at open mic or open jam nights! Truly an gem. Everyone is super respectful and lovely. And the artists that play are so talented! And the drinks are amazing. If you're in Lockport, you gotta come check it out.

    Excuse me, Laura/manager/Mrs Mr owner, my bill is $18.5 and I left $3 for tips totally would be $21.5, sorry to let you know I am not kids struggle with meth and I finished all my college classes as well. It is very RUDE YOU charge me $25!! Actually , I am the guy not very care receipts and I probably forgot very often, however during my stay at your place I felt I could get a fraud. Then I kept this receipt. Just would like to remind other people, BE CAREFUL!!

    The Studio was great. It was my 1st time there. It used to be a bank. It is decorated with old posters and album covers. It was very clean and the staff was extremely personable. I went to hear my nephew Keith play who was joined by two friends. It was an awesome time. I highly reccomend it to anyone looking for a fun night out!!

👍👍 What a great place. The decor was very well done with an old time western theme. The food was very good with some unique items on the menu. I had a bison burger which was great and my side was corn bread casserole which was so good it is worth going just for that. On Mondays they have martini s...
