Metro Chicago, Concert hall in Wrigleyville, Chicago, US
Metro Chicago is a concert hall in Wrigleyville, Chicago, that rises across several floors and holds around 1,100 visitors. The main floor consists of a standing area facing the stage, while a raised balcony at the back provides additional views of the performances.
The building was erected in 1927 as a Swedish community center and served the local immigrant population. The transformation into a music venue occurred in 1979 as the rock scene in Chicago grew.
The venue has become a gathering point for music fans who come to discover new bands and see established acts in a small setting. Many artists return here even after international success because the closeness to the audience feels special.
The hall sits at 3730 North Clark Street near Wrigley Field and is easy to reach by public transport. Cash is needed for drinks, and security checks happen at the entrance.
Below the main stage, Smart Bar has operated since 1982 as a separate club focused on electronic music. When a rock show runs upstairs, people often dance to a DJ set downstairs, creating two moods under one roof.
