Kingston Mines is the largest and oldest continuously operating blues club in Chicago. Its two stages have been graced by the likes of Magic Slim, Koko Taylor, Sugar Blue, Billy Branch, Junior Wells, Joanna Connor, Carl Weathersby, and scores of other musical greats, and are packed with the finest nonstop blues action late into the night.

Kingston Mines has been the recipient of numerous awards over the years, including the Chicago Reader’s 2016 Best Blues Club, Chicago Music Awards 2016 Most Popular Blues Club Award & 2016 Torch Bearer of Blues in Chicago Award presented to the owner, Doc, a Chicago Concierge Favorites Award and a Trip Advisor Certificate of Excellence. What keeps the Kingston Mines alive today is the same thing that launched it…passion!

We invite you to come on down, get comfortable, enjoy some delicious Southern-style fare from Doc’s Rib Joint and dance to some of Chicago’s best live music! Kingston Mines is where you can “HEAR BLUES – DRINK BOOZE – TALK LOUD – YOU’RE AMONG FRIENDS!”
