The victim was taken in critical condition to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center.
Green Dolphin Street is located at the intersection of Ashland and Webster avenues just west of the north branch of the Chicago River.
The nightclub specialized in jazz and big-band music, and also included the pizzeria and wine bar Oriveto.
Last year, the restaurant closed and the jazz and other music shows were canceled, but the nightclub has remained open for concerts, private parties, and the weekly "Boom Boom Room" house music nights.
Grand Central Area police detectives are investigating the shooting.
