Capitol Event Theatre

This three-floor former cinema now provides a blockbuster space for high energy private parties. The main room no longer has a movie screen, but the stage remains; a secondary bar occupies the space where the balcony once was. High ceilings work to balance a packed house (800 standing; 550 with dinner stations and reception; 300 for dinner or 220 with a dance floor), making events feels spacious even when there’s a crowd. Catering is now under the domain of chefs Richard Andino and Andrew Edney (of upscale Yorkville resto Flow), elevating meals from standard banquet fare to more inspired cuisine.
How much:
$1,750–$3,750
Catering:
in-house by Richard Andino and Andrew Edney; rates vary
