VISITING US
WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED?
We are located at 2011 W North Ave, at the “six corners” of North, Damen, and Milwaukee Avenues in Wicker Park, Chicago.
WHAT ARE YOUR HOURS?
Our hours vary depending on our show schedule. Please check our calendar for what time our doors open.
WHERE DO I PARK?
Street parking is available along North, Damen and Milwaukee Avenues, as well as surrounding side streets. See posted signs for any restrictions.
CAN I TAKE THE CTA?
We’re conveniently located directly around the corner from the CTA Damen Blue Line “L” stop.
We’re also accessible by bus via the #72 North, #50 Damen, or #56 Milwaukee buses. Hop out at the intersection of the three streets.
DO I NEED AN ID IF I’M UNDER 21?
All 17+ age restricted shows require a valid government-issued picture ID. No exceptions.
CAN I COME TO SUBTERRANEAN IF I’M UNDER 21?
Each show has its own individual age restriction: All Ages, 17+ or 21+. Check out the specific listing for the show. ALL 17+ and 21+ restricted shows require a valid government issued ID. No exceptions.
I’M BELOW THE SHOW’S LISTED AGE RESTRICTION! CAN I STILL ATTEND? WHAT IF I’M WITH A GUARDIAN?
Sorry, we cannot make any exception to our listed age restrictions. For example, if it’s a 17+ show, and you’re not 17, you will not be allowed into the show even with a guardian present. Even if it is your favorite band. Sorry.
I FORGOT MY CREDIT CARD / PHONE / WALLET AT THE BAR!
Stop by during business hours to pick up your lost item at the door. Check our calendar for when we’re open.
I’D LIKE TO BRING MY CAMERA AND PHOTOGRAPH THE BAND PLAYING. IS THAT COOL?
Although we do not have a camera policy, the bands typically do. Generally, cell phones and amateur cameras are fine, but professional cameras will need to be cleared. Please send detailed photo examples and/or proper photo credentials to info@subt.net.
BAG POLICY?
We do not currently have a bag size policy. Security will check bags at the door. Policy is subject to change.
COAT CHECK?
Depending on the show, coat check may be available upstairs and is $4. Coat check is not available at every show.
PRIVATE EVENTS
CAN I HOLD A PRIVATE EVENT AT SUBTERRANEAN?
Totally! Check out our rooms here, and email party@subt.net with the details of your event.
ACCESSIBILITY
IS SUBTERRANEAN ACCESSIBLE?
We strive to provide accommodations for all guests to the best of our ability. Due to Subterranean’s building having been constructed in 1889, there are some firm limitations to accessibility.
Shows listed on the calendar as taking place at “Subterranean” take place in our main ballroom on the second floor at the top of a long set of stairs. Bathrooms in the main ballroom are located on the third floor balcony, up another flight of stairs. The second and third floors are Standing Room Only, unless otherwise specified.
“Downstairs at Subterranean” is ground level and fully wheelchair accessible, including restrooms. If an event does not specifically say “Downstairs At Subterranean,” it is upstairs in our main ballroom.
If you require accommodation, please contact info@subt.net at least one week prior to the event.
