Deadheads Rejoice: Jerry Garcia’s New Venue Finally Opens in Chicago
The West Loop neighborhood’s 300-seat concert venue and restaurant known as Garcia’s, which was initially proposed in 2019, will finally open its doors this coming Friday, six years later. This venture is a collaboration between the estate of Garcia and Peter Shapiro, a seasoned concert promoter who has owned Brooklyn Bowl and Capitol Theatre, and famously promoted the Dead’s renowned Fare Thee Well concerts in 2015.
