We are a group of music lovers. We are educators. We are promoters. We are preservationists. We are protectionists. We love music. We love the Fox River Valley of Illinois.

At The Venue, we are proud to book nationally-recognized talent in all genres of music from blues and big band, to rock and world music, and everything in between. Frequently, our opening acts feature regional and local musicians and songwriters.

In addition to musical performances, we also host lectures, workshops, and films on the subject of music from time to time. It is our mission to promote music from every angle.

We offer a menu of local craft beers, cocktails, seltzers, wine, and soft drinks. Try our Crooked V Red Ale or our local Seasonal Cocktail collaboration!

We serve limited concessions, but you are welcome to bring snacks in with you. For a more robust meal, visit one of our local restaurants! A list of their names with locations can be found here.
