The Vault was so much better than we imagined. I mean where did this place come from. You walk through a VIP vestibule off Fulton Street into this large room that was formerly a horse carriage staging area. Open the barn door and into the Vault you go with bar, lounge, billiard area that has this like 30' ceiling height. Kitchen area was fine to set up and an additional hidden bar area if needed is around the corner. Highly Recommended. Almost forgot the best part Free Parking for all our guests.

This is a really cool, intimate space and perfect for our 50 person event. Beautiful studio, with a small side room. Small kitchen with fridge to have refreshments. Also, Keke was so easy to work with and easily accessible. Much love!

About Chicago

Chicago is situated on Lake Michigan in the state of Illinois. It is the third most populous city in the United States with citizens of the Windy City numbering just under 3 million. One of the outstanding characteristics of Chicago is its architecture.

The Sears Tower (now known as the Willis Tower) is one of the most well-known buildings in the United States, let alone Chicago itself. The Chicago Tribune Tower is a neo-Gothic building that houses a world renowned newspaper. Chicago is also home to an Art Institute, which houses works from the classics to those from the Impressionist era.

Chicago is home to friendly people, and it is a great city for foodies. Lollapalooza is held in the Windy City, and each year is an annual blues fest. Sports enthusiasts may enjoy a Major League baseball game, and football fans can catch the Chicago Bears play in the fall.Any one of these activities would be a great theme for a fundraiser venue in Houston.

Pros and Cons of Fundraiser Venues in Chicago

All cities have their positive and negative characteristics. Let’s take a look at the good and the bad of hosting a fundraiser in the Windy City.

Advantages

  • The people
    Residents of Chicago state that the people of the city are some of the kindest they’ve ever met. Although Chicago is a large city with over 2 million residents, most citizens of are down to earth and friendly, meaning attendance at your function should be impressive.

  • One of the best cultural cities
    Chicago is home to people with roots from all over the world, and, any day of the week, you’ll find activities that involve all types of cultures. There are lots of museums and several theaters across the city, and Chicago has one of the best music scenes in the United States.

  • Foodie city
    Fundraisers typically involve a food offering of some sort. The multitudes of cultures as well as the lure of a large city have brought many entrepreneurs to Chicago simply to set up a restaurant. Chicago has been ranked the third best city in the nation for foodies. Plenty of vendors await the opportunity to cater your function.

Disadvantages

  • Crime
    Chicago has always been a city that has a bad reputation where crime is concerned. The good news is that the mayor and others at City Hall are making strides to make the city safer. It’s best to always travel in groups, and never go to parts of the city that you’re unfamiliar with.

  • Winter weather is brutal
    There’s a reason Chicago is called the Windy City. The wind off Lake Michigan – particularly during the winter when temps are at zero or below – will cut right through even the warmest of layers. Snow is common every winter, and it can affect air travel.

  • Traffic
    Chicago is third in another category – traffic congestion. Chicago ranks with Los Angeles and NYC as having some of the worst traffic in the nation. However, Chicago has a great public transportation system that can assist you in traversing town if you choose not to hire a private car service.

The Art Institute of Chicago is a permanent home to some Renoir works as well as the works of Monet. Many visitors to the city will recognize the sculpture of a “green” lion out front of the Institute.

  • The Navy Pier
    The Navy Pier is a great place to be entertained in Chicago. It is home to several restaurants, parks, and retail shops as well as a historic carousel and a Ferris wheel. An Imax theater is located at Navy Pier as well. The Chicago Children’s Museum is located at the Navy Pier, and, at multiple times throughout the year, visitors can attend festivals at the Pier.

  • The Willis Tower and Skydeck
