For this week’s episode of Chicago clubbing history we’ve got some footage from a local TV show called House Countdown. The show was recorded in 1990 at the Riviera Theatre in Uptown (known to locals as the “The Riv”) during its stint as a nightclub. Riviera Nightclub ran from the mid 80’s through early 90’s before switching back to a concert hall under new owners. Did you ever dance at The Riv or catch House Countdown? Let us know in the comments.
