Chicago Rock Cafe: Can you see yourself in our archive pictures from former venue?


Have you seen our archive pictures from the golden years of Chicago Rock Cafe in Middlesbrough?


As our pictures show, the venue hosted the likes of JLS and Olly Murs during its time.


As we reported this week, the former bar and club could be brought back into life.


The site opened as a Chicago Rock Cafe in 1999, after £2.9m was spent renovating the site formerly known as the Venue.


It boasted an island bar in the middle of the building and another underneath a raised stage with an 800 person capacity.


An American-style restaurant seating 80 was also opened in the building.


The upstairs at the premises was originally known as Liquid, but a £500,000 investment saw it reopen in 2005 as Lava and Ignite.
