Editorial Review
After years of being just another Wicker Park venue where local bands give it the old college try, Subterranean has gradually made a name for itself by booking larger touring acts for its main upstairs room. It also maintains respectable dance music and hip-hop nights in its ground-floor lounge. The first-floor vibe ranges from college dorm room to Urb afterparty. Climbing the massive staircase reveals a long, rickety room with a small stage, crisp sound, and a third-floor balcony. Though Sub-T can be surprisingly intimate, sometimes the best part of the show is the drunks falling down those treacherous stairs on the way out.
