Headliners Coming to Carol's Pub

Since 1973, Carol's Pub has been a cornerstone of Chicago’s country and honky-tonk scene. After a brief closure, it reopened in 2018 and continues to host high-energy live music with a rotating lineup and a steady house act in Diamondback. Located on North Clark Street in Uptown, this venue offers an authentic, no-fuss atmosphere where guests can enjoy classic country nights, dance-friendly floors, and a friendly, straightforward ticket-buying experience.

Our goal is to help you secure seats or general admission quickly and confidently. We’ve compiled essential details about capacity, seating, parking, transit options, and nearby accommodations to make planning your night out easy.

Seating and capacity: Carol's Pub accommodates approximately 220 people in standing areas with up to about 80 seats published across listings.
