The Green Mill Cocktail Lounge (or Green Mill Jazz Club) is an entertainment venue on Broadway in Uptown, Chicago. It is frequently mistaken for the earlier "Green Mill Gardens", which was known for its jazz performances, along with its connections to Chicago mob history. The information below conflates these two separate businesses and their locations. The current day Green Mill Lounge at 4802 W. Broadway first opened in 1935 in the space formerly occupied by a jewelry store named "Wolf's Jewel Shop."[1] Any references to pre-1935 events occurred at the Green Mill Gardens, which was located a few doors north of the current business.
The business is considered one of the most famous bars in the United States and the most iconic in Illinois.[2][3]
