About this venue
Cermak Hall at Radius is a multi-purpose hall within the Radius complex, housed in a converted former steel factory. Covering approximately 10,000 square feet, the venue retains a distinctive industrial character, while a capacity of up to around 1,350 guests makes it a more compact alternative to Radius' main hall. Its open floor plan, dedicated stage and separate entrance allow the space to adapt to concerts, electronic music performances and a variety of special events.
Inside, the focus is on keeping the audience close to the stage. The industrial structure is combined with modern sound and lighting production, while the open floor can be configured differently depending on the event. The hall also features its own full bar, placing key event-day services directly within the space.
The venue is located at 640 W Cermak Rd, Chicago, United States. Cermak Hall has its own entrance within the Radius complex, making it easier to identify the correct access point when different spaces are operating at the same time. Drivers can find parking lots and garages in the surrounding area, while the information further down the page provides a broader overview of public transport around Chicago.
About the city
Chicago, the legendary city on the shores of Lake Michigan, blends big-city energy with an entertainment culture that thrives year-round. As one of America’s most recognizable hubs for concerts and sports, it offers a wide range of arenas and stadiums, plus an atmosphere where every night out feels like an event. Visitors often highlight the unique mix of architecture, musical heritage, and urban momentum that makes it easy to stay longer than planned.
A major advantage of Chicago is its practical connectivity: through the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) network, including the iconic CTA “L” and buses, getting to the main event areas is straightforward. For rail travel, the key gateway is Chicago Union Station, where Amtrak and Metra services meet, keeping the city well linked to the region. If you’re flying in, O’Hare International Airport (ORD) and Midway International Airport (MDW) provide numerous connections toward downtown, and from there public transit or taxis get you quickly to arenas and stadiums.
When you’re not at an event, Chicago is perfect for “before and after” plans: stroll through The Loop and along the lakefront, stop by Millennium Park, or unwind on the Chicago Riverwalk with skyline views. Photo lovers often choose Navy Pier and the waterfront promenades, while those chasing a classic city rhythm frequently end up on the Magnificent Mile. That mix of top-tier entertainment and sightseeing is what makes Chicago a destination where the experience doesn’t end when you leave the venue.
