Best Live Music Restaurants in North of Foster / Rogers Park

Phenomenal experience. From the moment my guest and I walked in we were treated with the upmost respect and attention. We had reservations and did not have to wait at all for a table. My server, Ashley, was so personable and knowledgeable about the menu. I enjoyed her company and conversation. Service was swift and the food was impeccable. I had the “Duplex burger” which had this amazing aioli sauce on it. Along with two cocktails, the “Care bear” and “Blind monkey” both strong and sweet. The ambiance is breathtaking with so many aspects conceptualizing the attention to detail both owners have given to the establishment. The setting is intimate, the playlist is immaculate and the overall experience is one you’ll remember and want to revisit anytime you’re in the area.

What a great Saturday night experience at artango. Dinner,wine and entertainment was perfect. It was extremely crowded but service was impeccable ! Loved the special on the empanadas goat cheese with chorizo was insanely !

A Relaxing Evening at Turquoise Last night, we celebrated my friend’s birthday at Turquoise, and it was such a perfect choice. The atmosphere was incredibly calming—soft lighting, gentle music, and the whole place had this serene, coastal vibe that made us feel like we were on a little vacation. From the moment we walked in, the staff was so warm and welcoming. They made us feel right at home, even surprising my friend with a little birthday touch at the table, which was a sweet start to the night. We took our time settling in, chatting, and just enjoying the relaxed pace. The food? Absolutely amazing. Everything was fresh and beautifully presented. We ordered a mix of dishes to share—each one better than the last. Their signature seafood platter was a standout, but honestly, every plate had that perfect balance of flavor and freshness. We lingered over dessert, laughing and reminiscing, with no rush to leave. The evening wrapped up with a round of drinks on the It felt like time slowed down for a bit—just good company, good food, and a place that made you want to stay a little longer. Turquoise turned out to be more than just a restaurant—it was the perfect backdrop for celebrating a special day with friends. Definitely a place we’ll be coming back to.

The staff at Angelo’s are fabulous. The food delish, wine list is wonderful and on Wednesdays bottle wine are 1/2 price. The jazz music was fantastic. Such a gem. Love this place.

What a Hidden Jewel. We could not of been more pleased with all the food presented from the appetizers to our mail meal selection. When back in Chicago we will differently have on our list to visit again.
