Venue was extremely cool!
I was invited to see a newer Bluegrass Band this weekend. Generally when living in Chicago I don't go 20 miles out of my way to see a band when I am surrounded my music venues all around me in the city. But this was quite the experience!
The night had a couple snafus. The bouncer wasn't so great at math and gave me so much change back that it was awkward, the sound guy must have been new because the speakers kept on screeching and pulsing, and I would not suggest eating here (may have seen a roach in the bathroom).
All of this aside the venue was extremely cool! It was an old bank transformed into a music venue. The old safe door is even still there and is do surreal that it looks fake! There were high ceilings with lights flashing in them and an upstairs area.
Geneva is a suburb of Chicago and is adorable but a little isolated. There were many different types of colorful people here all night. This venue seems like it belonged in the middle of the city with a all the music influenced decor.
The beers were pretty good and showcased a lot of Chicago microbreweries. We came to see a band called UNDER THE WILLOW. I highly suggest looking them up if you like bluegrass/folk! Overall it was a great night and I had a lot of fun. I was happy to take the adventure outside of the city!
