The Neighborhood
Mae District is seated at the heart of Chicago's Motor Row - considered to be the largest, intact early “automobile row” in the U.S., home to as many as 116 different makers of automobiles at its peak. Today, the Motor Row District hosts a variety of different attractions, dining, and nightlight - including Mae District!
Our Rich History
Mae District's storied past began in the late 1800's when the building was constructed by the Chicago Illuminating Company. Later occupied by Al Capone and his crew, Mae District saw the likes of the infamous gang's target practice in the upstairs shooting range. One of Capone’s many speakeasies was even located just across the alleyway. Hosting a rich, unique history that simply can't be manufactured, our venue is truly one of a kind.
