The Green Mill is known as an old hangout for Al Capone and where Billie Holiday sang, and as a swinging jazz joint for generations of Chicagoans. For more than a century, this legendary nightclub was a melting pot of humanity and the music never stopped.
In 2024, owner Dave Jemilo and five longtime employees gathered to talk about working till dawn, about playing the music, pouring the drinks, and living the nightlife.
The Green Mill: A Real Chicago Joint shares stories profane, profound, absurd, and often hilarious, as told by a group of people who are clearly reverent of the special place that brought them together.
