Located in Chicago’s historic Uptown Theater district, at the intersection of Racine, Broadway, and Lawrence, the Riviera Theatre is a central part of Chicago’s past and present. Completed in 1917 by architects George and C.W. Rapp, it was built as a movie Theater for the Balaban & Katz chain. Transformed into a private nightclub in 1986, the Riviera Theatre is now one of Chicago’s premier concert and special events venues.
