- Elizabeth KinsmanMarch 30, 2013Old, pretty and a little weird... Meaning this place is awesome. $5 to see all three movies in a night, ok beer on tap, and you can bring in outside food.
- If you are a short person like me, head upstairs for a seat and a better view. If there isn't a show, check out Brew and View. Cheap beer, cheaper movies, and one of the cheapest date ideas around.Upvoted Sep 14
- John HankusFebruary 23, 2015Double or Triple features for $5. Can't beat the movie price. I just wish they had better beer prices. 6 or 7 bucks is too much for an old movie house that rarely gets crowded.
- Redeye ChicagoAugust 3, 2014Alternately a music venue and a movie theater, this celebrated locale is the perfect place to catch touring artists or enjoy a few beers during rowdy screenings of second-run and classic movies. Read more
- Dana JensenDecember 15, 2014I've been to some amazing concerts here. It's nice that there's a ton of seating on the balcony, though it means the fairly small floor can be horribly over-packed. Practically next to the L.
- Ok, so Brew & View / Vic Theatre is not yet a Central Lakeview Merchants member.....but 3 movies for $5 and 2 fully-stocked bars = Big Fun!!
- Ashley SheeranJanuary 22, 2015Rock + Brew - great for you Cheap dates out there. Two movies and drinks for under $10 (I think). Also great indie shows.
- ben mNovember 3, 2014Hang by the lighting booth. Perfect sight lines, room to move, near the bar and near the sound guy for best results.
- Come for the Brew and View! You can't beat $5 for a double or triple feature!
- The FeastJune 10, 2011No matter how crowded it gets, there's always a pocket of space near the ramps that lead down onto the front-of-stage floor. Try it, you'll like it!
- Terry B.August 15, 2015Hey The Vic Theatre, you should join Freebie! It’s pretty rad and the benefits are great for both you and me. Check it out!

- Heidi AldamaFebruary 7, 2011Love going to concerts here. You can walk up to the front, place your beer on the stage and dance the night away.
- My Social OneSeptember 26, 2011One of the best venues in town- you either get great shows or the brew and view! Yay!
- Digital Tour BusMay 20, 2011Don't bother driving to concerts here because a CTA line is literally a block away! You in for an awesome concert, so get your ears ready!
- Scabs. Management here is horrendous. Support clubs that treat their workers better like Empty Bottle, Thalia Hall, Lincoln Hall etc
- Buy tickets at the physical box office here (hours online) and avoid ticket fees
- Amber MedinaMarch 31, 2016Beautiful venue but the staff isn't very organized when it comes to concerts
- Steve ‘Pudgy’ De RoseApril 23, 2011This is also where you can obtain a ticket for an event at the Aragon without paying a 'convenience' surcharge. →Cash only!←
- Wait by the alley for an hour or two & you will be able to meet, take pictures w/ & get autographs from the performers you just saw.
- Katie MckiernanJune 23, 2011Box office ladies rule. So do the bartenders and cocktail waitresses. Working hard for the money!!
- Cracken .January 8, 2010Whether its seeing a concert, or enjoyin the Brew & View, The Vic is my favorite theater in Chi-town.
- Steve CochranJuly 22, 2011This place is friendly to everyone except emo slackers who don't have their shit together and, well, FUCK them!! Ya know??
- Matt HecklerApril 21, 2015Decent sound and awful bathrooms. Staff are good, but it'd be nice if the place was better maintained.
- Stephen GayMarch 25, 2010Saw "Five for Fighting" last night at the The Vic. Great venue. Watch out, they give you bottle water with no cap! (silly)
- Candice PayneNovember 26, 2009Some of the bars accept credit cards, but they place a $100 hold on your account, so watch out if you're lowish on funds.
- This venue is NOT street teamer friendly. We had to hang up posters for a band and they kept changing their minds about it. Fuck this place.
- Again, this place is a joke. Tried to call them all day to ask a question and they didn't answer the phone til 5:30. The guy was horribly rude on the phone.
