About CH Distillery | Jōtō Sushi

Joto Sushi at CH Distillery hosts private dinners, corporate events and birthday parties for up to 138 standing guests in the West Loop, Chicago. It is a dry-aged sushi and omakase restaurant inside CH Bar & Table, the home of Jeppson's Malort, so a group gets a sushi dinner and a distillery bar in one place.

Groups can book three connected event spaces. The PDR is a fully private, closeable private dining room with its own bar, for up to 36 seated or 54 standing. It opens into the Backroom for larger parties, up to 92 seated or 138 standing. The Front Room is a semi-private bar and dining area for up to 35 seated or 60 standing, and a full buyout takes over all three.

Event menus are built around the dry-aged sushi program: passed small bites for receptions, family-style spreads, or a chef-led omakase, with cocktail and sake pairings. Grill and cooked dishes cover guests who skip raw fish. Every space has Wi-Fi, and a projector and PA system are available for presentations.

Private parties are planned with the venue's events team, who shape the menu, drinks and room setup with each group. Each space is booked on a food and beverage minimum with no separate room rental fee, and gratuity and taxes are added on top. Paid street parking is available around the block, with lot parking through SpotHero and BestParking.

Planning your event

Events are planned with the venue's events team, who build each one around the date and guest count rather than set packages. The space is held on a food and beverage minimum, the menu is planned around the dry-aged sushi program, and gratuity and taxes are settled on the final bill.

Vibe: A sushi and omakase restaurant inside a distillery bar: lantern-lit dining, a long backlit bar, and an izakaya-style back room with string lights.
Space layout: Three interconnected spaces. The PDR is a fully private, closeable room with its own bar. It opens into the Backroom for larger groups. The Front Room is a bar and table setup suited to receptions and after-work drinks. A full buyout covers all three.
Private events: Private option: the PDR, alone or with the Backroom. Semi-private option: the Front Room. A full venue buyout covers all three and is priced on inquiry. Every space is booked on a custom food and beverage minimum with no separate room rental fee; gratuity and taxes are extra. The events team plans the menu, drinks and setup with each group.
Food & drinks: Three group formats: passed small bites for mingling, family-style spreads, or a full chef-led omakase of dry-aged sushi. Custom beverage pairings with cocktails and sake. Grill and cooked dishes are available for guests who don't eat sushi.
Group size: The Front Room takes up to 35 seated or 60 standing. The PDR takes up to 36 seated or 54 standing. The PDR with the Backroom takes up to 92 seated or 138 standing.
