Midlane Esports

I recently had an event at Midlane, and the staff are the friendliest and most accommodating. They pulled together to get the space ready last minute and took care of small details like the color of the lights, a specialty drink, and even played my show on one of the screens. It is a nice environment. The bartender Kate is my favorite and is the heart of this place!!

Went here for the Chicago vgm jam with Kevin and the Quicksavers this past Saturday night. If you like jazz and video game music, then you've gotta get out to one of these. Vibes were great, lots of chicago vgm "personalities" really turned out for it and its awesome to finally have a space for a scene. Can't speak to the esports lounge of it all as much because I was mostly here for music and drinks, but I can say that it was all excellent. Bartenders and cocktail menu are wonderful, they really know what they're doing and you cant go wrong with any mixed drink. Protip: if you order malört shots, you might unlock a secret menu item for later.

Man, I had way too much fun here! The staff was super laid back, friendly, and helpful, the lounge itself is on the smaller side but tbh I liked it because it had more of a personable and neighborhood vibe. I LOVE their hour banking system so if you don’t use up the time you paid for you can come back and use up the rest of your time in a 3-month period. The drinks were great, decent selection of games to play (I even got to use my own Steam account), and the prices were reasonable too. Definitely will be coming back, might be my new spot!
