The building that houses Schubas is a brick and masonry neo-Gothic treasure that's been a Lakeview neighborhood landmark for over 100 years. Built in 1903 as part of a project undertaken by the Schlitz Brewery, the building was one of hundreds erected at the turn of the century. Often known as "Tied Houses", Schubas remains one of a handful of these elegant buildings still operating as a saloon. Schubas Tavern happens to also have the reputation as one of the best small music venues in the country. By pulling together all of the elements of excellent sound, intimate environs, and a music-centric atmosphere, Schubas has become a legendary room. Offering live music nightly from a variety of acts -- rock, folk, country, funk, and more -- the bands range in quality and stature, from up-and-coming local acts with strong followings, to nationally known acts loyal to Schubas for help on the way up.

The bartenders were horribly judgmental incredibly rude. Interrupted a quiet private conversation and kicked us out. Very uncomfortable. I've been going here for 40 years and I will not return.
