The Ramova is the most interesting new room on the South Side: Spanish-revival plasterwork, an atmospheric ceiling and a 1,500-capacity floor, all restored after a long closure. An Afrobeats bill at 9 PM on a Saturday is the kind of night the room was rebuilt for, and it is a short walk from the Halsted and 35th corner rather than a trip to a club district.
What to expect
A late-doors show in the main theatre room with DJs and a dance floor rather than a seated concert. The building also holds a brewery, beer garden and grill, so there is somewhere to go before doors.
Good to know
- Ramova lists a 9:00 PM door time for the Theatre room.
- Tickets are sold through Tixr from the venue's calendar.
- The venue sits at Halsted and 35th Street in Bridgeport; the Sox-35th Red Line stop is a short walk east.
- A second Ramova show, Bandapalooza, runs the night before in the same room, so check the date on a resale ticket.
- The brewery, beer garden and grill are in the same building.
Going? Keep it.
