It may not have the well-trod, L-shaped allure of The Bottle or the cool factor of Thalia Hall or even the dank cultural credibility of our city’s dizziest dive bars, but what Lincoln Park’s Lincoln Hall has going for it is sound. Near silent when empty, void of street noise or even the clank and clatter of glassware from the bar and restaurant in the front half of the building, Lincoln Hall is the place to go when you really want to hear your favorite band. Or that group you loved in high school. Or an artist you’ve never heard before. Whether they’re on their way up or on their way down, they won’t sound better anywhere else. (Kevin Greene) 2424 N.
