Where the second-Friday walk ends up, more nights than not (I blame the accordion at Thalia, honestly). These are the rooms where Pilsen actually sounds like itself, horn sections leaking onto the sidewalk, a jukebox warming up a dive before the band does, that kind of thing. My sketchbook has more set lists scribbled in the margins than drawings at this point (oops).

1Thalia Hall1807 S Allport St, Chicago, IL 60608ChicagoThe ceiling alone is worth the ticket price. Acoustics so good you forget you're standing on a floor that's held up a hundred years of Pilsen Fridays.

3Honky Tonk BBQ1800 S Racine Ave, Chicago, IL 60608ChicagoBrisket in one hand, a cumbia band two feet away. Loud in the best way (bring earplugs if you're precious about your ears).
