About the Space Welcome to a true piece of Chicago maritime history. Founded in 1938 on the former site of the Chicago World’s Fair, our venue is uniquely situated on Northerly Island within the Museum Campus. We offer the most sheltered harbor in the city, complete with panoramic, unobstructed vistas of the iconic Chicago skyline. Located along Burnham Harbor, this historic venue combines beautiful skyline and marina views with a warm, nautical atmosphere and versatile indoor and outdoor spaces. Whether you're planning a corporate gathering, private celebration, wedding-related event, cocktail reception, networking event, holiday party, or special occasion, the space can be customized to fit your vision. The spacious interior accommodates up to 100 guests and features expansive windows, hardwood floors, bar rail, high-top seating, comfortable lounge areas, and a dedicated dining room that can accommodate everything from seated dinners to cocktail-style events and presentations. A cozy indoor fireplace adds warmth and ambiance, making the venue equally inviting for events throughout the year. When the weather is beautiful, take the celebration outside onto our waterfront patio, where guests can enjoy views of the marina and Chicago skyline. The outdoor area hosts up to 50 guests and features comfortable seating, café-style tables, string lighting, a tiki bar, fire pit, and flexible open space perfect for cocktail hours, networking, summer celebrations, sunset gatherings, and more. ✨ Key Features 🌆 Stunning Chicago skyline and waterfront views ⚓ Waterfront location overlooking the marina 🪟 Expansive windows with scenic views 🍸 Full-service bar upon request and bar-rail seating 🥂 High-top and cocktail-style seating 🍽️ Dedicated dining room 🔥 Indoor fireplace and lounge seating 🌴 Waterfront outdoor patio 🍹 Tiki bar 🔥 Outdoor fire pit 💡 Outdoor string lighting 🪑 Flexible indoor and outdoor seating arrangements 🎉 Ideal for corporate events, private parties, celebrations, weddings, receptions, networking events, holiday parties, and more 📺 TV/AV capabilities 📶 Wi-Fi 🚗 On-site parking for approximately 50 vehicles available for an additional fee upon request 🛡️ On-site security presence to help ensure the safety and protection of the property Flexible Event Options Book the space your way.
