Clandestino hosts corporate events, holiday parties and birthday celebrations for up to 90 guests in a hidden speakeasy bar in River North, Chicago. The cocktail social club sits beneath Matilda on N Wells St, close to downtown hotels and the Merchandise Mart.
The venue specializes in full venue buyouts, so a group takes the whole bar. It seats up to 50 guests, or holds up to 90 for a cocktail-style reception, which suits both an intimate gathering and a larger after-party or networking event.
The room is inspired by vintage speakeasies and Latin hospitality, with low lighting, rich textures and a long backlit bar. Events can be built around curated cocktail menus and welcome drinks, and buyouts can add passed reception bites from Matilda's kitchen, a choice of three or four bites per round of passed service.
Events are planned with Clandestino's events team, who talk through availability, the event format and a customized package with each group. Food service is available only for full buyouts. The team can accommodate many dietary restrictions when they are shared ahead of time.
Private events at Clandestino are full venue buyouts of the hidden bar beneath Matilda in River North. The events team works out availability, the format (seated or cocktail reception) and a customized package of cocktails, welcome drinks and passed bites with each group.
