About Cabaret At Royal George

Located at 1641 North Halsted Street in Chicago, the Cabaret At Royal George was a beloved cabaret space inside the Royal George Theatre Center, a multi-space complex known for intimate performances. The cabaret offered a warm, table-sharing setting across three levels with a full-service kitchen and bar, accommodating roughly 150 seats in cabaret style (with listings noting up to 190 seated capacity in some directories). While the venue permanently closed around 2020 due to the pandemic and was demolished in November 2025 for a residential development, its legacy as a vibrant Chicago cabaret hub remains a reference point for intimate live performance. This page provides a comprehensive guide to the former venue, including seating details, parking, transportation, and nearby hotel and dining options that continued to serve theatre-goers in the area.
