The Riviera Theater, along with the Vic and the Metro, is part of what many refer to as the holy trinity of Chicago's concert venues. The capacity of the Riviera tops out around 2,500 music lovers, making it larger than the Metro but smaller than the Aragon Ballroom, allowing the Riviera to maintain an air of intimacy.
