Renowned for their exceptional craftsmanship and design prowess, Navillus Woodworks was selected to build the bars for The Salt Shed, a highly anticipated music venue and entertainment hub that has already begun to reshape the city’s cultural landscape.

The Salt Shed, located in the vibrant heart of Chicago, is more than just a music venue; it is a multifaceted entertainment hub that promises to become a cornerstone of the city’s cultural scene. This unique venue combines indoor and outdoor spaces, offering a dynamic environment for concerts and events. The outdoor section, known as “The Fairgrounds,” is nestled along the picturesque Chicago River and Goose Island, boasting a capacity to host 5,000 attendees.

Previously the site of Morton Salt’s facility, The Salt Shed has transformed the historic location into a modern entertainment destination.
