The Green Mill Cocktail Lounge, located in the Uptown neighborhood of Chicago, holds a significant place in jazz history. Originally opened in 1933 during the Prohibition era—though operating discreetly as a speakeasy prior—it quickly became a popular venue for live music. Famously owned by Al Capone’s sister-in-law, it maintained connections to organized crime during its early years. The venue is renowned for its intimate atmosphere, art deco interior, and long association with legendary performers like Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, and Benny Goodman. It continues to host live jazz nightly, maintaining its status as one of Chicago's most iconic jazz clubs.
