This historic theater is one of Chicago’s best equipped multimedia facilities. Park West has been an integral part of the entertainment scene since it opened as a vaudeville theater in 1916. Years later it became a neighborhood movie house and was transformed into Park West, the live entertainment and event facility in 1977.
Park West is the premier concert location for nationally recognized entertainers, the favorite meeting place for top corporations and a preferred celebration venue for social events, galas and awards ceremonies.
Our technical, hospitality and security professionals are ready to work together with you to execute an amazing and memorable event.
Park West’s 11,000-square-foot facility, with 5 tiered levels, 2 balconies/sky boxes, 7 bars and comfortable booth seating is practical in design. We can hold up to 900 people for concerts and can comfortably seat groups of 100 to 700. The flexibility of the space makes us the perfect location for meetings requiring heavy AV as well as for live entertainment, seated dinners and dancing.
