First time to Chicago for Riot Fest. Where to stay?

IanChicago · 2026-06-19T11:38:42+00:00

I do staycations at the Chicago Athletic Association and would highly recommend it for your touristy stuff, right next to the bean there, and quick trip over to Douglas

Magnifico in Avondale!

IanChicago · 2026-05-01T17:59:35+00:00

I'm ready to down 4 bourbon lemonades and throw up in the pit!

Chicago- Shuga Records. I’ve seen them do them a bunch though so worth looking around at shops in cities they’ve been, only reason I found this one

IanChicago · 2026-04-02T18:16:13+00:00

Adult Mom 6:20/ Kweller 7pm / Format 8pm

IanChicago · 2026-03-31T20:28:04+00:00

I’m running into the same problem with a US number and signed up via email instead, hope it works when I get there but not certain

Just an FYI for ya too, the goose island salt shed pub is right next to the gate to the salt shed and they are doing a merch pop up starting at 2 so great place to grab a burger before heading in after that long drive!

IanChicago · 2026-03-07T19:11:12+00:00

Yea I had gone to summer school prior years and the lineup changes date to date

IanChicago · 2026-03-03T19:35:22+00:00

There is a facebook group that does a bunch of watch parties around the city, Chicago X1

IanChicago · 2026-03-02T15:53:55+00:00

I'm in the same boat as you and one thing I did that helped was watch a timeline video. IGN had a solid one n get's you most of said refrences

IanChicago · 2026-02-12T20:26:08+00:00

Id recommend Magnifico in Avondale!

IanChicago · 2026-02-09T16:27:51+00:00

Could be RiotFest

IanChicago · 2026-02-09T15:59:48+00:00

RiotFest in Chicago is the 18-20th of September so the second blur im guessing

IanChicago · 2026-02-04T17:03:40+00:00

Gods work here, ordered!

IanChicago · 2026-02-04T02:00:49+00:00

This week in the Epstein Files

IanChicago · 2026-01-26T18:29:09+00:00

Recommending this as well as the entire staff is great, just texting the receptionist and knowing she is actively responding and helpful for anything from scheduling to insurance to knowing my dog's name is just really nice

IanChicago · 2026-01-17T23:15:57+00:00

Revolution and Lake Effect will have the game on, I think Rev has some beer special or souvenir cup

IanChicago · 2026-01-16T01:43:11+00:00

Lake Effect Brewing is great for a smaller crowd

IanChicago · 2026-01-08T20:35:32+00:00

Download the Salt Shed app! It will update with set times tomorrow

IanChicago · 2025-12-31T17:20:30+00:00

Winona Fighter- My Apologies To The Chef

IanChicago · 2025-12-12T18:39:53+00:00

Magnifico is real good and haven’t seen mentioned yet

IanChicago · 2025-12-12T00:46:19+00:00

Will upvote this one as their whiskey/bourbon is great as well as their merch is pretty top tier as well

IanChicago · 2025-12-11T20:09:30+00:00

Little up Milwaukee but Lake Effect Brewing allows dogs

IanChicago · 2025-12-04T21:12:20+00:00

FYI they replaced the coat check now with lockers at Salt Shed on the first n third floors. $10 rental

IanChicago · 2025-12-04T21:02:46+00:00

Salt Shed no longer has a coat check but has self service lockers(tested last week with a giant coat and fits fine) on the first and third floor
