Tack Room

"The venue, which was home to Dusek’s, also includes two bars, Punch House and Tack Room." - Ashok Selvam

"We love seeing concerts at Pilsen’s Thalia Hall. But when we want a low-key place where we can also grab some food, its adjacent piano bar, Tack Room, is the perfect spot. Most of their performances are solo piano, but occasionally they’ll have singers or a salsa trio when they open up their patio space during the summer. It’s small, but the candlelit space makes it perfect for a date night or anytime you want to be serenaded while you sip on a cocktail and eat a cheeseburger." - john ringor, nick allen

"This piano bar is a great option if you want to listen to live music and drink seasonal cocktails in a space that's only a little more "tastefully" decorated than that apartment across the hall from yours with the inflatable Santa at the door. Tack Room is part of Thalia Hall and shares a kitchen with Dusek’s, which means there are tasty things like confit duck leg, cavatelli with candied garlic, and a late-night menu." - veda kilaru

"The Thalia Hall piano bar is decked out with lights, tinsel, and ornaments through New Year’s. Performances include a Yuletide cabaret on December 15 and a Christmas Eve sing-along. Get some liquid courage before joining in by ordering a seasonal cocktail like spiked hot chocolate, a gin & tonic blended with house made cranberry syrup, or the Jingle Bird Julep (gin, pineapple, cinnamon, lime, sherry). There’s never a cover." - Naomi Waxman, Eater Staff

"Chicago drag star Queen Wanda will lend her talents to The Monster Mash Bash, a spooky Halloween sing-along at the Tack Room, a cocktail bar tucked inside Pilsen’s Thalia Hall. Croon along in costume from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Thursday, October 19." - Naomi Waxman, Ashok Selvam
