THALIA HALL

This beautiful building, opened just before the 1893 World's Fair, housed a cinema for many years. When the cinema closed, the place stood empty for 40 years. In 2013, it was bought and renovated by a group of Chicago restaurateurs. It is now a concert hall with an eclectic program that will delight music lovers. The venue also hosts shows and performances. There's something going on almost every night! In the basement, you'll find the Punch House bar and John Dusek's Tavern restaurant.
