Friday Nights Live February 5, 2010

Cutting-edge bands and music lovers are converging once a week at the new Montrose Room in Rosemont for Friday Nights Live, a rousing music showcase featuring some of Chicagoland’s most acclaimed bands. Located in the chic InterContinental Chicago O’Hare hotel (5300 N. River Road, Rosemont), The Montrose Room brings the high energy of the Windy City to Rosemont packaged in an intimate nightclub setting. Boasting a state-of-the-art acoustic design, ringside cabaret seating (think Park West – West) and the Ice Bar – a suave lounge that serves “Icetinis,” martinis in glasses made of pure ice, The Montrose Room is the suburb’s best kept secret for an unforgettable night of entertainment.
