About Chez Paree

Chez Paree pays homage to Chicago’s legendary nightclub era while offering a modern event space at Chez Event Venue in Streeterville. Located at 247 E. Ontario St, this central downtown venue honors the original 1930s-1960s club that welcomed icons like Nat King Cole, Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra, Lena Horne, Ella Fitzgerald, and Tony Bennett. Today, the space provides flexible configurations for concerts, presentations, and private events, with comfortable seating, standing room, and professional event services. Whether you’re planning a corporate gathering, a intimate concert, or a memorable party, we’ve got you covered with straightforward ticketing, reliable logistics, and proximity to hotels, dining, and transit.

Getting here is easy via public transit, bus and rail, with two blocks to Michigan Avenue and abundant dining and lodging options in Streeterville and the Gold Coast. Parking is convenient with discounted options at Erie Ontario Self Park (330 E Ontario St) and nearby garages; valet is available at select events, and vouchers help reduce costs. For places to stay and eat nearby, we highlight trusted partner recommendations to simplify planning. Remember, the original Chez Paree is no longer a nightclub, but the current venue carries the legacy with a modern, welcoming space for events that honor its storied past. Secure your seats and plan ahead—we’ve got you covered every step of the way.
