There are bars and lounges all over Gary. The trouble is, they're all shuttered, having closed or burned down in years gone by.
Chops Lounge, 3100 W 5th Ave, ☎ +1 219 949-1810. Notable for being open, and it may offer live musical performances. �
The Palace on 5th, 529 E 5th Ave, ☎ +1 219 886-9346. Music usually starts after 9:30PM. The place to go for live music in downtown Gary. Music is near and dear to Gary locals, and their blues and jazz acts are of a quality very rare in small cities. (And, as you might imagine, Gary is a natural incubator for the blues.) Since there are so few real venues for musicians, the caliber of local performances here can be really high. Other acts include the occasional (Chicago-style) steppers dance night, as well as regular R&B karaoke on Wednesdays. �
