Outstanding, really friendly stuff and audience.Vans started skate sessions again, great chance to skate and have a great time. During the winter time it’s the only place in Chicago where you can skate indoors. Make sure you book in advance in their website, otherwise most likely you would be declined at the door.

Excellent event space dedicated to arts, culture, music and having a good time. Free events are a blast; be sure to secure an RSVP ahead of time.

Attended a private event at House of Vans and was thoroughly impressed at how big this location is. It was very clean with plenty of space for our staff. Top notch. Definitely a little hidden gem with plenty of parking locations on the surrounding streets.

COOL SPOT... DONT TAKE MY WORD FOR IT- GO SEE FOR YOURSELF--#pariahforhire

Free beer, free shirt, free bands (YES, you read that right). In Chicago no less.Tucked away in what looks like an ordinary warehouse...is one of the most amazing venues youll see. Part skate park, part concert hall, with cool art work, & an amazing staff that has created a safe place to enjoy with friends.The Vans brand has demonstrated what it means to truly become part of the community & give back to those that have helped them become a cultural icon.You owe it to yourself to check-in at House of Vans website and RSVP to one of their upcoming shows.

Cool space. Had fun at a free event with skateboarding, motorcycles and art.

1st time there and the experiences was great. I will say free beer did help.

Great venue Ive never heard of! Nice intimate show with Lamb of God!

I saw the Hu here and this place is GOLD. I mean good artists that you would pay for in a free intimate setting with free beer?? The biggest complaint is that sometimes you dont get in. Well, its FREE AND PER SPACE Availability. Dont listen to the haters, show up early watch the openers and then enjoy some good beer, free merch, ear plugs, water, and a dammed good show.

Awesome venue for a show. Plus a free show and all the Goose Island you could drink.

Great atmosphere and good place to skate for free in the winter (Wednesdays only)

Fun spot, loud music, great skatepark. Be warned though, its gets crowded fast.

I went to see the Breeders for a FREE show with FREE beer from Goose Island and FREE photobooth pictures in a comfortable environment (there are beanbags!) with decent acoustics. Could this be Chicagos best hidden secret? Can I hear an amen?

Whats there not to like. Good music free beer. No if my wife feet could only fit in Vans Id buy a pair.

Cool place to skate, low-key cramped as hell tho

Love Steve Dredd for his generous support of the learn to skate program here.

Saw Hallowolfbat with the HU band. Best way to spend Halloween!

This place was the biggest surprise Ive had in Chicago in quite some time, they offered not only a free show(BANKS) but also free beer. I thought it was a joke because it seemed to good to be true.The sound quality was really impressive, the acoustics sounded great for a medium sized venue and the lighting was really well done as well. They had an awesome Mexican food truck parked outside, which had great burritos and tacos for a decent price. I was kind of worried that since theres no re-entry I wouldnt have place to smoke a couple cigs but they have an entirely outside area(where I got my free Goose Island beers and bought food).Honestly, for how little I actually spent going to this show, Im just blown away by how excellent it was. Never been to a free show of this caliber nor have ever been offered entirely free beer in my 14+ years of going to shows and fests in Chicago.This place is excellent and I will 100% be there for the upcoming Converge show(Aug 24th). I wish there were even more shows here on a regular basis because I cant believe what an amazing time I had here.This is officially in my TOP 3 for best venues in Chicago, right next to Thalia Hall and Lincoln Hall.

Free shows, free beer, free merch, awesome staff; one of the best spots in Chicago

Last nights saw Lamb of God here! what an awesome venue!

Horrible experience. Do not waste your time booking a ticket for any event at this venue. Got tickets and Waited in line for hours only to be turned away at the door.

This venue is love and will only give and give. Be kind, vulnerable and prepare to have thee best of times!

Really awesome venue! Went there to see Taking Back Sunday! What I like most about the venue is the space, its very open and there is an outside area if it get too stuffy for you. They have a half pipe for people to skate on. Bathrooms inside a d porta pottys outside. The inside has glow in the dark neon paint, gives it a cool retro vibe. Definitely would recommend seeing a show there!

Saw Princess Nokia here. Had a blast, crowd was crazy fun. Free drinks too, very spacious and security was cool.

This is a great venue. Every show I’ve been here has been free and includes unlimited free Goose Island beer. Everyone that works there is super friendly, there’s an outdoor area and food truck, free swag, free photo booth, art exhibits, and the bands that come through are really good. So I’m not sure how you could give is less than a five star rating.

Vans fan. Love the live showcases and free beer. Check out House of vans Chicago online for concert and series information well worth it.

Where else can you get free admission, free music, free beer and a cool scene? Nowhere else in Chicago.

Simply amazing. Steve Van Doreen, the creator of Vans has been giving back to the skateboard industry for well over 30 years. The free events at House of Vans is just another way that he gives. Wonderful space with good sound. They even have large overhead fans to keep the crowd cool.

Lovely and spacious event venue, and host to a ton of awesome (and mostly free) events. We went for one of the first open skates, which is pictured, and we had free Goose Island tall boys for the whole event! A great time, and I cant wait to go again

Place is awesome!

Follow the venue...if you find someone playing that you like, 100% recommended going. Free shows, free beer, free merch! Whats not to love? Bigish name bands in an intimate setting, one of the best shows ive ever seen.

Clean fun! Great Band!

Loved seeing a concert here. Totally fun time with free beer, merch, and a food truck should you want to buy food. I dont skate and while this seems like a weird place to have a skate park, it doesnt seem too worse for it. Its an incredible venue which I really enjoyed :)

Coolest show in town! The event we went to was surprisingly fun and everything was free! The interior is wide open, offers lots to do, and has a cool skate park. If you get a chance to attend a show dont hesitate!

Great venue to see live music. Ive been to several shows here at they were all free with rsvp. The sound is pretty good too. Also free Goose Island beer. Yes, really free. Love this place.

Really great venue, even without taking into account the free beer and swag. Courteous and efficent security. Staff encouraged concert goers to take free bottles of water during the show because it was hot out. The Dead Milkmen put on a fantastic show and Vans provided a beautiful and welcoming venue. Go see a show there and make sure you tip well.

Its disturbing the way I was treated here. Attending the Industrial Accident documentary screening in Chicago followed by Ministry live, I came alone & my phone died. Im from Denver and didnt know anyone there. I asked if they would call me a cab as a simple gesture and was denied because they said they would lose their jobs which left me stranded in a city and neighborhood I didnt know. What if I were drunk, had a car at the show, & needed the same service? Would they deny me safety as well? I got the same response from the security they hired S3 Security. Thankfully Jean Payne (Wax Traxs Jim Nashs ex-wife) was there. The sweet elderly lady called me a cab without hesitation.

Great venue for shows. Love their Summer Series.

Though I didnt get a chance to sample the food or drinks here, the House of Vans is a fairly accessible venue with a bold industrial aesthetic and guest-friendly stage orientation. Entry was quick and easy, and I was able to see the stage from almost everywhere on the floor. The only drawback I can think of is a distinct lack of ventilation, which was noticeable when I visited. I would recommend shows and other events which take place here.

Saw Vic Mensa here tonight. What can I say great artists performed, free drinks and free entry. The venue was bigger than anticipated and I will definitely be looking forward to more concerts held here!

RSVP’d for Anderson Paak, waited for 4 hours, didn’t even get close to the door. Horribly managed event.

Came here for the night market last year. They gave out free beer. FREE BEER. 5 stars.

Go here for Sunday skate workshops, good crew working here

Very cool spot.... DOPE LOCATION! I LOVE VANS!!!

House of Vans in Chicago is amazing indoor skatepark that hosts many awesome events such as skate school.Skate school helps children learn how to skate correctly and safely. They also host concerts often, bands from the Dead Milkmen to Bully. Also there is some art events.With that being said House of Vans is an amazing indoor skatepark for all ages.

Great people but not a vast selection

Pretty good

This is a very open and prime space. Fantastic use of a building for the benefit of art.

Went to a free princess Nokia concert here. It was fun and pretty safe but still rowdy. There was a nice area outside to smoke

I’m giving this a 1 star because there’s no info posted about hours of operation. I heard this was a skatepark, maybe with a skate store in it that hosted concerts. Sounded cool, but when I got there it was just a dark locked building with no signage and a letter posted on the door that says they’re filing to be an amusement space. Hit us with some deets!

I came here on a work assignment from my employer. Cool spot. Go to a free show and bet you wont say different.

Art space + skate park. They host live music here, often free and often with an unlimited open bar and (paid) food trucks. If youre coming for a free event, come early. Capacity is ~500 and shows have to be over at 10 PM.

Big space. Sounded great.

There events give you free beer and capacity is huge. Definitely recommend

Extra cool spot. Amazing space! Excellent venue.

Awesome free t-shirt free Beer the breeders

Accessible bathrooms. Large open venue with outdoor smoking section.

One word describes this pace....AMAZING!!

Been here for three different shows, and its been amazing to see bigger bands at such a small venue. Always a great time!

Saw dead milkman. Very good sound great time.. security was kind of jerks but watever..

Interesting skatepark venue/concert venue. When I was there they were serving free beer from Goose Island, and had independent art dealers there selling their artwork. There was also a live wall spraypaining going on the whole time. They kept the right amount of people in the facility as well. There was a lot going on, but it was not overly crowded

...an indoor skateboard park, which hosts various events such as indie rock-shows, etc.

This place is sick, went there for the first time last nite to see iceage and the black lips. they gave out free vans shirts and sweaters, the show was free, and there was endless free beer. such a cool time.

They never pick up the phone, hours arent accessible.

Ive attended Create & Cultivate event there, cool and hip place

Everything was awesome

Great spot, lots of diverse shows and friendly team working there.

Very laid back, friendly people, good space to skate for sure.

Great size venue for music

Free Concert and Free Beer, whats not to like?

Nice sets at vans, drinks and foods.

Went here for an event called The Night Market. Very hip spot; the West Loop Hangout we often imagine buy rarely achieve.

Great space, great scene.

They put on the best free shows

Awesome space, awesome events!

Cool spot. Have great shows from time to to time.

Really cool music venue. Free tickets and drinks!

Excellent place. staff is great. Good place to chill

Love the space

Was here for a concert - way too loud and echoey for the number of people present. Had a good time and its a cool looking space, but the environment was hard to stand.

By far the worst skatepark/ Venue I have ever been to. The setup is astoundingly horrible and on open skate nights you have around 200 people trying to skate the area of a back yard. The security there is also brutal. My friend with a disability was kicked out for sitting on his board (because they wouldnt let him skate because if you are under 18 you are not allowed to skate unless you fill out a waiver which is understandable, but they make you do it EVERY time you come back. *facepalm) and when he was kicked out he was pushed to the ground and held by his neck by the security guard. During this his hearing aid fell and broke. The temperature was 16 degrees F and my friends were stuck outside for an hour before they allowed one of the park managers to be used as a middle man for communication. Please save yourself the time and just stay home because this place is for lack better words a shitshow. This all occurred on February 7th, 2018.

Great place for kids to skate

Great spot! Excited to have one open in Chicago

Great indoor place to be be nice respectful ppl

First time here i saw Joey Purp n Danny Brown... the spot and perks are dope af.
