Upstairs, Elbo Room looks like any other low-key Lincoln Park watering hole, but in the basement you'll find delightfully schizophrenic live music: rockabilly, hip-hop, soul, funk, and more. The subterranean setting is cozy and brings the bands up close and personal, but when the place gets packed, you might not see much of the onstage action.
