Prairie Moon is proud to present live jazz every Wednesday from 9PM-11PM in partnership with Fulton Street Collective, one of Chicago’s most respected and well-known venues for producing high-quality live jazz.
Experience some of the country’s best jazz musicians at Prairie Moon and enjoy our Raw Bar, late-night grill, and special cocktails, along with our full bar.
Jazz jam sessions, led by Clark Sommers, happen on the first Thursday of the month. (Occasionally jam sessions are rescheduled due to conflicts, so it’s a good idea to call ahead to confirm.) All musicians, guests, and customers are welcome. Jam sessions are free admission.
