The Bassment Chicago

The Bassment sits on West Hubbard Street, a five-minute walk from the House of Blues. It plays hits, house, and dance music throughout the week.

The room runs smart and elegant, but it lacks the pretension of the clubs bordering the Magnificent Mile. While those venues rely on views to justify the cover, this basement space focuses on the density of the dance floor. It is a more claustrophobic choice than the open-air options found near the Riverwalk, yet that intimacy makes for a much tighter energy once the sets pick up. If you prefer your weekend nights to feel raw and subterranean, this is where you go.
