What the community has to say about Rosa's Lounge

Chicago is well known as home to many blues greats, and, as a result, plenty of decent blues bars feature respectable music and good bands catering to tourists. But musicians who play at these tourist clubs, they go to Rosa's when they really want to hear the good stuff.

Rosa's is strictly a neighborhood hangout, but it has all the atmosphere required to fuel its heartfelt lamentations. Mama Rosa and her son, Tony Mangiullo, run a homey, lovable spot that, despite its somewhat distant location, is decidedly one of the best joints in town for spirited, authentic Chicago blues.

When you think of what a blues club in Chicago might look like, this is the answer. Its small, crowded, a stage so close you can touch the musicians (wouldn't recommend that), plenty of beer and fabulous music. What more can you ask for? This is the real deal!
They host a variety of blues musicians from all over the...

I had some prbs booking tkts on the website; when i called, Tony was so amazing - he just took my Groupon...

Came to see a Bulls game on Saturday. Arrived Friday and decided to go to Rosa's. $15 cab from the "united center" neighborhood. Cozy and typical bar. Cleaner then most "bars" I've been to. Fair prices. Civil crowd but somewhat subdued. Saw Sax Gordon with the West Side Orch. and if that combo can't get a crowd going I am...

No frills, just a classic joint to hear great live blues without the unnecessary pretentiousness of a club-like atmosphere. Visitors grab a drink and let themselves enjoy the music and the diverse crowd that flocks to this...

Rosa's Lounge operates in the hallowed tradition of Chicago blues lounges, family owned and operated by an Italian immigrant who came to Chicago in 1978 after meeting Jr. Wells in Milan.

Tony found the true spirit of the blues at South side lounges like the legendary Theresa's, and he opened Rosa's (1984) as a tribute to those cradles of blues tradition, and named it after his mother, Rosa,...
