Lounge Ax

Lounge Ax

The Lounge Ax was a music venue in the Lincoln Park neighborhood of Chicago. It was an important venue for live rock music -- especially indie rock. The club was opened in 1987 (Parnell, 2003) by Jennifer Fischer and Julia Adams, who were joined around September 1989 by Sue Miller, previously the booker at another Chicago rock club, the Cubby Bear. (Wyman, 1989) For most of the club's existence, it was owned by Adams and Miller. On Saturday night, January 15 2000, the final show at Lounge Ax was headlined by the Coctails, who reunited for the show. Dianogah and M.O.T.O. opened. It was located across the street from Wax Trax Records.

Lounge Ax was featured prominently in the Chicago-based movie "High Fidelity" as the site where John Cusack's character, Rob Gordon, and the staff from Championship Vinyl first encounter Marie DeSalle, played by Lisa Bonet. Its location across from the Biograph Theater plays an important part in the dialogue leading up to the Lounge Ax scenes.
