Chez Poulet Dinner, Then a Show at Subterranean
Pair a Bucktown meal with touring bands, indie acts, hip-hop or themed dance parties in Wicker Park. Food comes in takeout containers, and the restaurant's tiny patio offers a place to eat.
Bucktown and Wicker Park
Supper From the Spit
Chez Poulet serves counter-service rotisserie chicken on North Western Avenue in Bucktown. Brothers Oliver and Nicolas Poilevey roast pasture-raised Ivory Amish chickens in an Old Hickory rotisserie. All food comes in to-go containers. There is a tiny patio. French wine is on the menu. Order chicken with macaroni gratin or collard greens. The restaurant closes at 9:00 PM on every operating day. It is closed Monday.
Sightlines Above the Crowd
Touring bands, indie acts and hip-hop share Subterranean's program with themed dance parties. The two-story venue and bar is on West North Avenue. An upstairs balcony overlooks the stage and keeps visitors clear of the pit. There is also a downstairs room. The venue's listed closing time is 2:00 AM. Entry is for ages 17 and over or 21 and over. Check the specific show's age requirement before choosing it.
Supper Meets the Stage
Chez Poulet and Subterranean bring contrasting formats to this pairing, a Bucktown chicken counter and a Wicker Park music venue. The restaurant's carryout containers and tiny patio frame the meal, while the venue's two levels put the emphasis on live acts and dance parties. Their closing times differ, with Chez Poulet closing at 9:00 PM on operating days and Subterranean listing 2:00 AM. Check each show's start time when planning dinner.
