Live music event space and bar buyouts in River North
Cancellation policy
Free cancellations for 48 hours after booking, unless the booking is within 48 hours of the event.
Bub City hosts birthday parties, corporate events, happy hours and full buyouts for 15 to 375 guests in a barbecue and live music bar in River North, Chicago. It is a Lettuce Entertain You restaurant with a stage, two bars and north and south patios, so a group gets a ready-made party with music and barbecue built in.
Groups can book semi-private areas from 10 to 100 guests: Stage Right for 15, The Corral for 20, The Wild West and Midwest for 30 each, the Main Dining Room for 40 seated, the Whiskey Bar for 40 and the Main Bar for 60. Areas combine, such as the Whiskey Bar and Corral for 50 or the Main Bar, Stage Right and The Wild West for 100. A half room buyout takes 120, the patio buyout 90, and a full buyout of the private event space takes 120 seated or 280 standing, or 375 with the patio.
Event food is barbecue served for groups: passed bites, family style lunch and dinner, food stations such as smoked meats and a taco bar, a buffet reception package with a premium bar, and weekend brunch. Bar packages run by the hour and include soft drinks, coffee and tea. The room is loud and lively, with live bands on Friday and Saturday nights, Live Band Karaoke on Wednesdays, a DJ Sing-Along on Thursdays and about a dozen TVs that can show games or presentations. For a buyout the team can add a live band on the stage, a carving station or a sweets table.
Planners pick an area, half room, patio or full buyout at Bub City, then choose a food format and an hourly bar package from the parties packet. The parties team plans each event with the group and can add extras like a live band for a buyout.
