Don't know if there is cover charge or what, but this is a small-ish bar/live venue in Wicker Park. Never been on a Wednesday, but I actually love this space. This is where we threw the gig when CiM and Clair did the deFocus mini-US tour. It's nice intimate (non clubby) vibe, lights down low, and drinks are cheap. The Cabaret Room upstairs has 2 levels and really nice sightlines to the stage and dancefloor from the second (kind of U-shaped) balcony floor. >From their website: Subterranean of Chicago is located in the heart of Wicker Park & Bucktown in a 3-story, 110-year-old building. It's upstairs 'Cabaret Room' was host to a brothel during the 1920's, while 'the Lounge' on the 1st floor was a 'wire room' for gambling. When the guests needed to flee the authorities, they escaped through the basement's underground passage (now boarded up) which led into a tunnel allowing access to the Coyote building across the street.
