Every Monday we have a FREE Blues Bar Outing to one of our historic neighborhood blues venues. Whether its the always lively Kingston Mines or the cool low-key comfort of B.L.U.E.S. Chicago, we always have a blast grooving to the music that made Chicago a haven for blues music since the 1920s. Must be 21 or older.

Don’t forget our BBQ Nights every Friday & Saturday from 6-8pm. We serve up complimentary grilled hot dogs and hamburgers to all our guests…this is always a great way to meet your fellow travellers.

Great Chicago Neighborhoods
We are a city of neighborhoods, and this makes our town a diverse and beautiful playground for travel. Here are just a few excellent locals to experience…
Lakeview, home of The Chicago Cubs, about a dozen vintage clothing shops, record stores, restaurants, an independent film theater, a myriad of bars, and the list goes on and on. This neighborhood is within walking distance to the hostel (just make a left on Clark St.). We recommend exploring this one.
Excellent Events at The Chicago Getaway Hostel
The leaves have changed and Autumn has painted our city with its beautiful Fall colors. We invite you to come explore our magnificent town and take advantage of our weekly events.
Chicago’s Best Neighborhood
Dear Traveler, we will let you in on a little secret. Part of why we are the best hostel in Chicago is because of our beautiful neighborhood, Lincoln Park. In fact, our neighborhood is better than downtown in so many ways. Come see why we were voted the 5th best hostel in the U.S. for the month of May!
