Rent a cocktail party venue in Chicago, IL

Cocktail parties are a great way to unwind in a classy manner with friends to kick off a weekend. Or to make new friends over fun conversation. Or to hold meetings and happy hours without things feeling too formal. Themed cocktail party locations add an immersive element as well, like Three Dots And A Dash, in River North. Tropical and Polynesian aren't a vibe you'd expect to find in downtown Chicago yet it's entirely accessible here. Look to their Bamboo Room for intimate gatherings or book their Luau Room if you have an event for hundreds in mind.
Chicago has a number of excellent cocktail bars scattered throughout the city. Look to River North, the West Loop, and Wicker Park for speakeasies, live music bars, and other venues. There's no beating Time Out Market Chicago for the cocktail and snack variety. Tony's Rooftop Bar is located here, named after Tony Elliott, the founder of Time Out. Polished wood, twinkling lights, and skyline views offer guests a quintessentially Chicago cocktail party experience.

Many places strive to look historic but Chicago has a long history as a major American city. Why settle for faux-history when you can have the real thing? Kick off your cocktail party at The Green Door Tavern, in River North. Established in 1921, the memorabilia and cheerful atmosphere are as much a part of its identity as the city itself.
Right below The Green Door is The Drifter. Accessible via a speakeasy entrance, the cocktail bar offers more than 100 drinks, printed on custom tarot cards. The staff holds a nightly card selection as well, drawing from the deck for a fun time impossible to find anywhere else in the city.

VU Rooftop Bar in the Southside is a crowd favorite, sitting 22 stories high adjacent to McCormick Place. Lake and downtown views in a chic, classy setting are their specialty. As are the drinks; beverage and food options abound to satisfy any palate. Be sure to visit and enjoy the views before renting the venue out for a corporate or private cocktail party. Because you certainly will fall in love with a spacious 13,000 square feet of fire pits, karaoke, club lounge, boardroom, and outdoor terrace.
That said, VU is just one of many rooftop venues in the Windy City. Whether you're looking in the Near Southside, River North, or elsewhere, you are truly spoiled for choices here.
