I've seen security act completely ridiculous at House of Blues Chicago. They are aggressive for no reason on patrons who are much smaller and causing no trouble. It's like they are just waiting to get their pent up aggression out. I was at a concert there last week and witnessed security push a guy from behind and he just went flying across the room. Seeing it was really scary and made me really sick to my stomach. Besides security sucking, unless you are right in front of the stage you can't really see anything. I've been in the balcony, in the second row and haven't been able to see the stage at all. And that was for a show that wasn't even sold out. I see a lot of concerts, but I will do everything possible to avoid House of Blues Chicago. THEY ARE THE WORST. I hate that place. House of Blues in West Hollywood on the other hand is totally awesome.
Pros: It's in an awesome location, right on the river.
Cons: abusive security, horrible, disorganized staff. Lack of concern for their patrons. Horrible sightlines.
