Park West

This historic performance and event space has been a vital part of Chicago’s entertainment scene since it opened as the Lane Court vaudeville & movie theater in 1916. In 1977, a complete renovation produced Park West, Chicago’s iconic concert and special event facility. The facility accommodates up to 900 guests for receptions and can comfortably seat groups of 100 to 700. Our versatile space includes high ceilings, 5 tiered levels, balcony, 7 bars and concert-quality sound and theatrical lighting.

All seating elements are movable & removable, and we work with you to customize a floor plan. Our permanent stage can be adjusted to add up to 8 feet of depth or various runway, stage thrust and/or riser configurations using our existing decks. Park West is exclusively yours on the day of your event to accommodate early set-up or late load-out. We adjust to your schedule and can draw from a pool of production talent for any event from a business presentation to a major brand activation with heavy branding and A-List talent.
