great dj's, great soundsystem – While the old lava lounge was bigger, cheaper and a lot more fun, the new lava hasn't lost all it's good times. Every wednesday they do seminar ( a night devoted to drum n bass) and different genres of music on different nights of the week. The new lava has a very swanky look to it. I love this place cuz they support many different types of music besides top 40 and house music (which is overplayed in chicago clubs.)

The Underground lives in a nightclub in Wicker Park! – LAVA is a great place.

dull dull dull – not at all like the old Lava Lounge. such a shame. no more punk rock. more like punk wanna-be's with way too much unnecessary attitude. i mean, really, bartenders with attitudes is no different than the idiots at McDonald's with an attitude.

Relocated, revamped, but not reformulated Wicker Park electronic music hub. – In Short Digs sport a similar intimate, insidery vibe, now rendered with dark slate, custom pendant lighting and a groovy, red-glowing light and panel installation running the length of the narrow room. A raised back DJ booth is small, but the sound is big, perhaps too big for the tight space, although the young, bohemian-chic crowd doesn't seem to mind. Canned regional domestics and imported bottled beer are preferred two-to-one over cocktails.
