Getting Here

Address. Hey Nonny is located at 10 South Vail Avenue in downtown Arlington Heights across from Harmony Park.

Transit. It’s more fun not to drive…take a rideshare, or better yet walk, bike, skateboard, or take public transportation to Hey Nonny. The Arlington Heights Metra station is two short blocks away (Union Pacific Northwest Line).

Parking. Street parking is available and free in the evenings, but can be hard to find. The pro move is to park in the parking garage immediately South of Hey Nonny. The garage offers free evening parking on the 1st, 4th, and 5th levels. Please read signs closely!

Tickets

  • Purchasing. Tickets are available at HeyNonny.com or in-person at the host stand. The usual ticket service fee applies either way, so for your own convenience, buy online in advance.
  • Seating Categories. For most shows, tickets are sold in three sections:  Premier, Cabaret, and General Admission, Limited Seating.  These sections are described below.  Tickets in the Premier and Cabaret sections are for specific seats at specific tables.  Your seats will be waiting for you whenever you arrive.  General Admission, Limited Seating tickets are not assigned seats and when the limited seats are taken, ticket holders will be standing.  If seats are important, it is best to arrive when doors open.
    • Premier Seat: Seating at high top tables along the window with great stage views. Full food service is available at these seats before and during concerts; you do not need a dining reservation if you have Premier Seats! We’ll do our best to keep your party all at one table, but it isn’t guaranteed
    • Cabaret Seat. Seating at cocktail tables arrayed close to the stage with four seats per table. Servers offer drinks and limited snacks at these seats (if you would like to have dinner before the show, make a reservation in the Bistro!)
    • General Admission, Limited Seating Seating without tables available in the back and on the sides of the venue with great stage views. Seats are first come, first served; standing room is available when seats are filled. GA Limited Seating does not guarantee a seat

    FAQs

    What Does “Hey Nonny” Mean?

    Old English songs and verse use “Hey Nonny Nonny” to describe a state of cheerful bliss you feel as you let go of your cares. In Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing, the song “Sigh No More” reminds women that “men were deceivers ever.” What to do about it? “Be you blithe and bonnie, converting all your sounds of woe into Hey Nonny Nonny.” We also love the Violent Femmes’ 1991 song “Hey Nonny Nonny” in which the singer tries to suppress his “wanton thoughts” inspired by a “beauty bathing” into . . . “Hey Nonny Nonny.”

     

    What Kind of Live Music?

    Hey Nonny presents all kinds of live music: rock, pop, reggae, jazz, blues, folk, bluegrass, country, classical, and more. Hey Nonny isn’t defined by particular styles or genres, but by the intimate nature of the listening experience and the virtuoso creativity of the performers. Because Hey Nonny focuses on creative music, there won’t be a lot of cover bands or tribute bands on our stage.

    Can I Just Pop In For The Music?

    Hey Nonny shows are all ticketed concerts, with tickets available online at HeyNonny.com. Hey Nonny is small and many shows will sell out, making it hard to "pop in". For a sold out show, you can wait in the Bistro and we’ll let you know if we can make a few extra General Admission tickets available.

     

    Can I Eat In the Venue?

    Inside the venue, the Hey Nonny dinner menu is available only at Premier Seats. A limited snack menu is available at Cabaret Seats.

    Is The Music Quiet Enough That I Can Talk To My Friends?

    Hey Nonny is a “listening room,” which means the music is central to the experience. We hope that conversations are kept to a minimum out of respect for the performers and audience members.

     

    How Long Are The Shows?

    Most shows last about two hours with a short break between sets.

    Can My Cousin Stevie Play There?

    Hey Nonny presents the very best Chicago-based musicians and the greatest up-and-coming touring musicians out on the road. If Stevie’s one of those, she’s in! If you know a great professional musician or band, send info to Contact@HeyNonny.com. Please do not call or drop off materials at Hey Nonny.
