Blues/Jazz for the underdressed

Hi everyone,

Can anyone please recommend a relaxed Blues/Jazz bar where a couple Aussie%26#39;s wouldn%26#39;t feel TOO underdressed in a Jeans, t-shirts, and well worn Converse All-Stars? We%26#39;re travelling across USA later this year for about six weeks and aren%26#39;t packing for strict dress codes ;-).

While staying in Chicago we%26#39;re staying at the Best Western River North Hotel, but a bar close by is not important (directions appreciated though).

Thanks a lot!

It has been a LONG time since I%26#39;ve been there, but while in college I would go to Kingston Mines in jeans and a t-shirt. Not sure if it has changed. Back then it was smoke-filled and ugly, but the music was amazing.

Kingston Mines in near Halsted and Wrightwood.

Highly recommend the Green Mill, true Chicago legend for jazz. And if Kurt Elling is there, you are in for an incredible experience. it%26#39;s in the Uptown neighborhood, some distance from your hotel, but easy to get to on the cta trains.
