Live Tribute Sets Over A Wicker Park Kitchen

A warehouse concert hall in Wicker Park runs tribute nights and touring acts with a full kitchen and bar off the floor.

Catch a tribute night at Chop Shop in Wicker Park.

🎸 The warehouse floor

Chop Shop is a warehouse-style concert hall and kitchen at 2033 West North Avenue in Wicker Park, where the adjoining 1st Ward music room books tribute bands and touring acts under exposed steel beams and red stage lights.

Before doors, the kitchen sends out shared plates, wings, and sandwiches from a long bar that runs the length of the room, then staff clear the tables to open a standing floor. On weekends the room fills for tribute acts that play a single artist's catalog end to end, and the crowd sings most of it back.

Rated 4.0 across more than 600 reviews, it draws a Wicker Park crowd that treats the industrial space as much a bar as a venue, with tribute lineups anchoring most weekends and sets that stretch late into the night.
