Thalia Hall Commissioned by the city's Bohemian population in the 1890 -- it was modeled after the grandiose Opera House in Prague -- this multi-story structure in the Pilsen neighborhood has been reborn, reimagined in 2013 by Bruce Finkelman, owner of the popular Empty Bottle music club, as a bar/restaurant/performance space. The original stage and stonework now play host to concerts as well as Dusek's restaurant and the subterranean Punch House bar. Photo 14 of 14 in Open House Chicago: The City Behind Closed Doors
