FAVORITE venue in the city. Great Grandpa, Deep Sea Diver, and Major Murphy ruled. I'm a Seattlelite so I love my Seattle bands rocking the Bottle. Cheers!

Beer too expensive, speakers too loud. Didn’t get drunk and got very overstimulated. Service was nice and events are cool.

A Chicago classic. It's the best dive bar live music venue in the city. Open since 1993, and legit as hell. Almost no type of music is off limits - they book lots of good weird stuff. And they have their own cat, Peg, if you're lucky enough to see her. Very friendly staff.

One of the best small live music clubs in the world.

As Remi Wolf said, ooh la la! Went to a drag show here and had a great time (shout out Tiki Vonte in the vid)

The emptiest bottle In the whole damn town. I think they invented hipsters here a long time ago.

Vincenzo Bonadonna

Great service, great experience.

Great staff amazing live music fun patrons. Dance floor is a little small and fills up fast but it's still really fun and the attached pizza place is really good too

Nice concert on Monday night.

I've only been to the Empty Bottle one time, but it was a decent little place.

It's certainly a dive bar.

I thought the audio was terrible however. If I go there again I'll try another location, maybe that'll help?
