Oz was one of the oldest and most popular clubs in Chicago for the punk and alternative scenes. There were at least three different incarnations of Oz, as the venue was routinely getting shut down by the city. Oz had no liquor license, would ignore past mandatory closing and typically had no sign out front. Because of this, Oz was a club for the dedicated, hardcore fans of the scene.
