Put the kids away and lock your doors because the Lockdown Bar and Grill is finally opening its doors on January 25, 2010. Get ready to rock out with bestial screams and embolism-popping guitar riffs as this heavy metal bar satisfies your most carnal desires. The menu has been painstaking crafted with starters, sandwiches, and 12 supreme burger creations, like the Cruelty to Animals (a 10-ounze Angus burger topped with every type of pork product known to man) or The Big House (a burger rubbed down with spices covered in cheddar cheese and slathered in BBQ sauce).

This is more than just a metal bar with amazing food though. This is Chicago’s premier Virtual Venue. You will able to Rock in Rio with Iron Maiden or Binge and Purge with in the front row with Metallica. The biggest and best metal and hard rock concerts play every minute we are open on the wall of flat screens in this metal cage of a bar. Smoke machines, a laser show, and concert footage played at an obscene volume take you away from this Ukrainian Village hideout and put you in the center of the front row mosh pit before the gods of rock themselves.

Quench your thirst while rocking out with an amazing beer list with everything from PBR cans to Chimay Blue bottles. Our perfectly chilled taps flow six wide with Miller Lite, Guinness, Blue Moon, a Goose Island Seasonal, Sierra Nevada, and Fat Tire. We have the whiskey for the hard rocking concert veterans as well as every other liquor alcoholic beverage a rock star could want.

We are getting the word out there with our website, twitter, email, and reviews on sites like UrbanDaddy and Thrillist. We want the unwashed (or washed) masses lusting for the unmatched style and power of glam and thrash metal to course through their bodies. We want blood thirsty carnivores ransacking the Chicago bar scene for the most tantalizing burgers. We want those people because we are those people and now we own a bar.
