This bar should be the definition of life well lived. Should be the definition of Love, Joy and Blues. Kingston Mines should be... in the World Hall of Fame. I'm feeling like a privileged human being for set foot on such a wonderful place, full of wonderfulpeople and fill with love and peaceful mind's that only blues can provide. Lovely place in an iconic avenue, and an experiencethat i'll never forget ?? Read more
By far one of the most amazing jazz experiences I've ever had! The dueling jazz rooms was quite remarkable. To see some local... legends perform and it drove what they do was great. I also loved the downhome food feel and the rusticness of this jazz joint. Read more
Love this place. Crowded and hot but still a great time. The band shift from one room to the other so you can see a different... act every hour or so. Prices were pretty reasonable and the cover on the night we went was 20 bucks. It was a great deal for thequality of the music! Read more
The service is exceptional and the music is PHENOMENAL. It?s a $20 cover charge, and it is so worth it. Fabulous night. Pro tip:... there are two stages and bands switch off playing on each stage; ask the bartender for the schedule and move to the other room10 mins before the current room stops playing to get a good seat Read more
I've wanted to check out one of Chicago's Blues clubs for a long time and my friend brought me to Kingston Mines to really get... the full experience. We got there not long after the doors opened and were able to get good seats near the stage in the firstroom. We got to enjoy several local artists along with some cold beer and great atmosphere. There was a $20 per person cover andit's a good idea to bring some extra cash to tip the band. If you're in Chicago and a live music fan go check out KingstonMines. Read more
