OK, so I haven't actually ever been to Buddy Guy's Legends yet but I live in Chicago so I have plenty of time for it. It seems to me, on the other hand, that if someone was visiting here briefly, they would definitely want to come out to Buddy Guy's to hear the blues music Chicago is so famous for. Buddy Guy himself plays a few shows at the club every winter. Tickets are pretty expensive though and they go fast. To get to Buddy Guy's Legends (South Loop Neighborhood) via public transportation, take the red line train to Harrison, walk east two blocks to Wabash Avenue, and south two blocks to 8th Street.

Fantastic atmosphere. Get there early or you will not find sitting space, standing room only for late comers. They serve good food for those who want to go early. If someone famous is visiting town, they are known to just show up on stage and play with whoever was already scheduled and playing for that evening. Lots of parking in the area, and all taxi drivers know where it is. Hotels within 1 block, like Hilton, etc.
