Martyrs' has been a cultural and musical establishment for nearly two decades. Built on the foundations of good beer, good food, and most importantly - good music; the venue has been able to attract some of music's most acclaimed live acts. They’ve featured such performers as Gov't Mule, Jack Johnson, Beck, and the Pretenders along with a whole slew of up-and-coming acts. Like a song that writes itself, there was a concept in place; Martyrs' would be dedicated to the musicians who give their life to their art. Staying true to the mission statement it continues to be a bright spot on the city's cultural landscape, booking everything from local Chicago acts to national mainstream shows.

Cozy, unaffected familial feeling. Tables arranged with enough space so as not to feel crowded. Stage in perfect place.
