Green Mill

About

The Green Mill sits at Lawrence and Broadway in Uptown, one block west of the Lawrence Red Line stop. Dave Jemilo opened the current version of the club on June 19, 1986, and in 2026 the club marked its 40th anniversary by adding late-night sets after 1 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. Live jazz runs most nights, with a Sunday poetry slam on the calendar. The club takes no reservations, sells no tickets and serves no food.
