Lee's Unleaded Blues

Fodor's Review:

Lee's Unleaded Blues has been a South Side favorite since it opened in the early 1970's. Locals come decked out in their showiest threads and University of Chicago students often pop in for a round. The cramped, triangular bar may inhibit free movement, but that doesn't seem to bother the crowd that comes for powerhouse blues and jazz. Note: the club can be difficult to find if you don't know the area, so be sure to take a cab or study a map before making the trip.
