Chicago's premier blues bar, Kingston Mines, is where musicians congregate after their own gigs to jam together and to socialize. Celebs have been known to drop by when they're in town shooting movies, but most nights the crowd includes a big contingent of conventioneers looking for a rockin' night on the town. But don't worry about the tourist factor -- everyone's here to have a good time, and the energy is infectious. The show begins at 9:30pm daily, with two bands on two stages, and goes until 4am (5am Sat). The late-night kitchen serves up burgers and ribs.
