About Centennial Crafted Beer & Eatery

Centennial Crafted Beer & Eatery is a two-floor craft beer pub in River North, Chicago, hosting private events and parties for 15 to 90 guests. Planners pick it for its 36 rotating craft drafts, a beer-paired kitchen and a bar on each floor of a restored 1888 building.

Groups can book the first-floor Community Table or some or all of the second floor, in private or semi-private setups. Together these event spaces hold up to 90 guests. A third-floor private event space for up to 50 guests, or seated dinners up to 36, is listed as coming soon.

An event here feels like a warm neighborhood pub: brick, reclaimed wood, a long tap wall and, upstairs, a salvaged 1940s Brunswick bar with a zinc top. The bar pours 36 rotating craft beers from 56 taps, plus bottles, cans, craft wine and spirits, crafted cocktails and zero-proof drinks. The chef-driven kitchen pairs food with beer styles, with smoked, char-grilled and wood-fired dishes, house-made charcuterie and shareables that suit a happy hour or group dining. There is also an outdoor patio where dogs are welcome.

The venue lists work happy hours, rehearsal dinners, company events, birthday parties, alumni events and engagement parties among the private parties it hosts, and it welcomes large groups for football Sundays. Parties of more than six are arranged directly with the venue rather than booked online. A 20% gratuity is added to groups of 6 or more, and checks are not split individually. The pub is closed Mondays.

Planning your event

Groups of 15 to 90 plan their event directly with Centennial, choosing between the first-floor Community Table and some or all of the second floor, in a private or semi-private setup. Guests then share craft drafts and beer-paired food from the chef-driven kitchen, with a bar on each floor.

Vibe: A warm, casual craft beer pub in a restored 1888 building, with exposed brick, reclaimed wood, a long tap wall and a vintage Brunswick bar upstairs.
Space layout: Two floors, each with its own bar. The first floor has a wood bar and a Community Table built from the building's original floor joists. The second floor centers on a salvaged 1940s Brunswick bar with a zinc counter top and can be booked in part or in full. An outdoor patio sits alongside, and a third-floor event space is listed as coming soon.
Private events: Private and semi-private options run from the first-floor Community Table to part or all of the second floor, for 15 to 90 guests. Parties of more than six are arranged directly with the venue rather than booked online. A third-floor private event space for up to 50 guests, or seated dinners up to 36, is listed as coming soon.
Food & drinks: 36 rotating craft drafts from 56 taps, bottles and cans, craft-leaning wine and spirits, crafted cocktails and zero-proof drinks. The chef-driven kitchen pairs dishes with beer styles: shareables such as a Bavarian pretzel with beer cheese, house-made charcuterie, flatbreads, burgers and sandwiches, and mains like beer-braised short rib. Brunch runs Saturday and Sunday.
Group size: Event spaces suit groups from 15 to 90 guests. A coming-soon third-floor space is listed for up to 50 guests, or 36 seated.
