Thalia Hall

"This giant Pilsen music complex is home to one of the city’s best restaurants, Dusek’s, on the ground floor. There are also three bars inside. The 131-year-old building is named for the Greek muse of poetry and comedy. This is a mid-sized venue that brings in artists from all around the country." - Ashok Selvam, Naomi Waxman

"Nestled beneath Dusek’s Tavern & Dining Room within Thalia Hall is the Beer Cellar, which is accessed through a revolving bookcase. The retro space features exposed brick walls and vintage lounge furniture, offering room for natural wine tastings and dinner parties focused on wood-fired fare. Larger parties can combine rentals of the Beer Cellar and Punch House basement bar. Number of guests: 25-45." - Samantha Nelson, Eater Staff

"Organizers first launched the initiative last year and included all kinds of small businesses, including Pilsen venue Thalia Hall." - Naomi Waxman

"Located on the ground floor of music venue Thalia Hall, the restaurant encompasses a unique neighborhood history dating back to the 1890s. Concerts are also back at Thalia Hall." - Ashok Selvam

"Bruce Finkelman, co-founder of 16” on Center, the company behind Thalia Hall in Pilsen, expresses concerns about the mental state of customers as restrictions ease. He predicts a 'training-wheel phase' for customers who haven't properly socialized in over a year." - Ashok Selvam
