Double Door was a concert hall and nightclub in Chicago, Illinois that first opened on June 12, 1994, and was co-owned by Andrew Barrett, Sean Mulroney and Joe Shanahan (who also owns Metro). Six days later, Billy Corgan's side project Starchildren played their final show at the Double Door. Through 2009, the venue was also played by The Smashing Pumpkins, Zwan, Jimmy Chamberlin Complex and Tinted Windows.

Other notable artists to perform here include fellow Chicago acts Wilco, Liz Phair and Cheap Trick, along with national and international talents like The Rolling Stones, Cypress Hill, Sonic Youth and The Killers.

Double Door closed their doors due to eviction in 2017.[1]
