The Green Mill Cocktail Lounge holds a significant place in Chicago’s cultural history. Opened in 1927 during the Prohibition era, it was originally owned by Al Capone’s purported right-hand man, “Handsome Dan” Segel. While connections to organized crime are part of its lore, the venue quickly became renowned for its live jazz performances. Throughout its history, it has consistently featured both established and emerging jazz artists. The club maintains an intimate atmosphere with its dimly lit space and art deco interior design, evoking a classic speakeasy feel. It remains one of Chicago's most enduring and respected jazz clubs, continuing to host performances nightly.
