Davenport’s Piano Bar Cabaret

Top choice in Wicker Park, Bucktown & Ukrainian Village


Old standards get new interpretations and new songs are premiered at Davenport's, a magnet for the local theater crowd. The front room is a fun, inclusive (read: sing-along) place with an open mike on Monday nights that attracts everyone from shower singers to professional actors; the back room stages cabaret shows with a cover and two-drink minimum.
