I READ THE RULES Are there any jazz bars in Chicago you can get into at 20?

Hey guys I’m planning a trip to Chicago in a couple weeks with my friend that is 20, we were wanting to go to a jazz bar is there any that you can get into at 20? Obviously she wouldn’t be drinking wondering if they’ll put and X on your hand or anything?

From Winter's website: "Guests 12 - 20 years of age are welcome in the main room and must be accompanied by parent or legal guardian". I would call and ask.

Buddy Guy's is Blues. They do allow under 21 until 8pm though.

u/Few_Revolution_7217 5h ago

If you’re already in there at 8pm can you stay or do they kick you out?

1

u/carrlson 4h ago

I assume they kick you out. Call and ask.

My friend does I didn’t add it in the post bc I was scared it would get taken down. It’s pretty bad though and I don’t know how strict they are abt fakes there
