A working list, annotated like a due-date card gone rogue. These are the rooms where I have underlined a thought mid-set, argued about Coltrane the way my book club argues about endings, and once missed the last 6 bus home because nobody wanted the second set to end. Filed here for whenever my Sunday brunch companion needs convincing that church can happen in a cocktail lounge too.

Name	Address	City	Vibe	My take
1Green Mill Cocktail Lounge	4802 N Broadway Ave	Chicago	Art deco, cash-only, Capone's old corner booth still haunted by rumor	The silence rule during sets is practically a library policy and I respect it deeply.
2Jazz Showcase	—	—	—	—
3Constellation	3111 N Western Ave	Chicago	Former theater turned home for avant-garde and improvised jazz	The acoustics make even a stubborn free-jazz skeptic lean in.
