Frequently Asked Questions
No backpacks or bags larger than 16 by 16 by 8 inches. Expect a security screening at the door, and remember there's no re-entry once you're inside, so bring what you need for the night in a small bag and nothing bigger.
The nearest train is the Red Line at North/Clybourn, about a 0.7-mile walk to 1675 N Elston. The #72 (North Ave & Elston), #73 (Cortland & Elston), and #9 (Ashland & Cortland) buses stop closer. There's no affiliated parking, so if you drive, reserve a SpotHero lot on N Elston in advance; otherwise transit or a rideshare is the cleaner arrival.
It varies by event. Some shows are 18 and over, others are 21 and over, so check your specific ticket. Age-restricted shows require a current, non-expired photo ID (Driver's License, State ID, or Passport).
