Thalia Hall was built in 1892 by saloonkeeper John Dusek and designed by architects Frederick Faber and William Pagels in the Romanesque Revival style.[2]

Its current owners are Bruce Finkelman and Craig Golde.[3] As of 2018, Bruce Finkelman and Craig Golde, through their firm 16” on Center, own, co-own, operate, and/or co-operate several music venues, including The Empty Bottle, The Promontory, Evanston S.P.A.C.E., Sonotheque (which closed in 2009), and Thalia Hall, all in and near Chicago. Finkeleman and Golde are similarly affiliated with several other restaurants and bars, both at those music venues and free-standing, including Bite Cafe, Dusek's, and Longman & Eagle.[4][5][6][7][8]
