This place was perfect! There is plenty of room for activities and places for people to gather. There is a full un-stocked bar with sinks, an ice machine, and refrigerators. There are large speakers that work through Bluetooth so you can play music directly from your devices. And the huge TVs are great for showing games, movies, or presentations. The best part was the host, Annabelle, who was super responsive leading up to the event, and super helpful during. This will be our new annual meeting spot!

The place was amazing! The store is super cute, and the area behind it is gorgeous. We had our wedding here and it was truly beautiful. Jeremy and his mom were spectacular, helping us out at every turn and helping make this special day for us magical. We were simply in love and this made our day unforgettable!

About Chicago

Chicago is the city where you could get lost in taking in the sights or exploring the economic landscape. It's even described as a cosmopolitan playground because The Windy City truly knocks you off your feet in diverse ways.

Chi-Town is a city built on innovation and it's best displayed by the Chicago River. The city famously reversed the flow of the water body so that instead of Lake Michigan, it empties into the Mississippi River. The City That Works is even credited for coining the term jazz and Chicago still has a profound appreciation for the arts. You'll find 255 music venues, an estimated 200 dance companies, and about 250 theaters within the city limits.

The Windy City is equally the perfect place to make new connections or foster pre-existing ones. That's why you should think about locking down a networking venue in Chicago for your forthcoming function.
