"Circa-1937 bar with a revamped yet still retro space & a huge list of old-fashioned cocktails."

The California Clipper is a Chicago venue and live music bar located at 1002 N California Ave in Humboldt Park, established in 1937 and described as the neighborhood's longest-standing bar. The bar offers live music nearly every night of the week spanning jazz, DJs, country, electronic, and more, alongside a curated cocktail menu; a back room called the Lil Clip hosts late-night dancing on Fridays and Saturdays with a speakeasy vibe. The California Clipper has operated continuously since 1937, and the building itself has stood at 1002 North California Avenue since 1912, when it was first the L.L. Freeman Theater. Located at 1002 N California Ave, Chicago, IL 60622, in the Humboldt Park neighborhood. Reviewers highlight the vintage red-lit atmosphere, a dance floor, strong drinks including Malort, and frequent live music with a small $5 cover fee.

This vendor hasn’t completed verification

Verified vendors have uploaded credentials such as a business license or proof of insurance, and our team reviewed each document by hand. Verification is a trust signal, not a requirement: you can still reach out, and payments run through Stripe either way.

The California Clipper hasn't claimed their United Vows profile yet, but you can still reach them.

We don't have an email address on file for The California Clipper, so we can't forward an inquiry to them. The way to reach them today is to call (773) 384-2547. You can still send one here — we'll keep it on your inquiries list, and it will be waiting for them the moment they claim this profile.

Two things worth knowing before you transact:

If your booking happens on United Vows: A $100 United Vows welcome or favor credit, if you hold one — this credit comes off one booking here, in full, funded from our commission on it, once that booking is a booking of $2,900 or more, paid to them in a single payment of at least $1,500 — you get messaging, quotes and contracts in one place, your payment runs securely through Stripe against a signed contract, and if the vendor no-shows, cancels close to your date or delivers nothing you can file a claim from the booking, which they have seven days to answer.
If the booking happens off-platform: none of the above. Your credits don't redeem. We can't help if anything goes sideways.

The simplest move: when you reach out, ask The California Clipper to claim their profile. It's free and takes a few minutes. It keeps your booking on the platform where everything we built for you actually works.
