Whistler

Top choice in Chicago


Hometown indie bands, jazz combos and DJs rock this wee, arty bar most nights. There’s never a cover charge, but you’d be a schmuck if you didn’t order at least one of the swanky cocktails or craft beers to keep the scene going.

Whistler is also a gallery: the front window showcases local artists' work. The venue is easy to miss, as the sign on the door is discreet.
