Underground Neon Studio | Intimate Babe Cave

About the Space

Underground Neon Creative Studio | Private Events, Workshops & Content Welcome to Glow Up Art Studio, a woman-owned, speakeasy-inspired underground creative studio in Chicago designed for curated experiences, intimate celebrations, creative gatherings, and content creation. Our colorful, moody space is filled with neon lights, artwork, candle displays, photo-worthy décor, a lounge, billiards area, small stage, dressing areas, and multiple creative spaces that give your event something much more memorable than a traditional rental hall. ✨ PERFECT FOR Birthday experiences • Girls’ nights • Bridal & bachelorette activities • Date nights • Team-building events • Creative workshops • Content creation • Photoshoots • Brand activations • Influencer events • Networking events • Vision board parties • Candle-making experiences • Sip & Paint events • Small private celebrations We specialize in organized, creative and experience-focused gatherings. This is not a nightclub, open-party venue, or large late-night party space. If you’re looking for a place to simply bring a crowd, DJ and throw a wild party, Glow Up probably isn’t the right fit. If you’re looking for a unique space where your guests can create, connect, celebrate and actually DO something together, you’re in the right place. 🎨 ADD A GLOW UP EXPERIENCE Make your rental an actual Glow Up experience! We can provide creative activities for your guests, including: Sip & Paint — $45 per participating guest Includes painting supplies and a pre-printed canvas. Dessert Candle Making — $65 per participating guest Guests choose from dozens of fragrances and hundreds of colorful wax embeds to design their own custom dessert-inspired candle. For qualifying private events, we can create a private Eventbrite ticket link so guests can purchase their individual experiences. ✨ THE VIBE Glow Up is whimsical, artsy, sexy, colorful and intentionally different. Think underground creative hideaway meets neon art lounge — perfect for hosts who want something more interactive and visually interesting than a standard event room. The studio works especially well for small-to-medium groups where the experience, atmosphere and creativity are the focus. 🥂 BYOB + FOOD BYOB is welcome for eligible adult events. Guests may also bring food, snacks, desserts and non-alcoholic beverages. 💗 IMPORTANT HOUSE RULES The person booking the studio is responsible for their guests and must remain present throughout the reservation. We welcome celebrations, but uncontrolled parties, excessive drinking, unsafe behavior, overcrowding, fighting, throwing objects, damage to the studio, or disrespect toward staff will not be tolerated. Events may be ended early if guests become unsafe or disruptive. This is a creative studio — not a club. Weekday daytime reservations require reasonable noise levels out of respect for neighboring businesses. One to two Glow Up team members may be onsite during your reservation to assist with the studio and facilitate any booked creative experiences. We take pride in providing a safe, welcoming, well-maintained creative environment and want every group walking through our doors to have an amazing experience while respecting the space. Come downstairs. Create something. Celebrate something. Take too many pictures. Glow Up. ✨
