Hangar 9

By Gus Bode

511 S. Illinois Ave. 19 to enter; cover charge. Hours: 3 p.m. – 2 a.m. Hangar 9 features the most diverse musical lineup in town. Everything music plays at the Hangar, including jazz, reggae, ska, hip-hop, bluegrass and rock bands. Don’t feel like waiting to have a drink served? Skip over to the cash register for faster service. A new lounge area was built to prompt bands and “VIP” patrons to mingle. Hangar has a large dance area, a great crowd, but not the best ventilation. The sound system makes conversation very difficult. Entry prices are steady, but can be expensive on weekdays.
