About Corcoran's Grill & Pub

Corcoran's Grill & Pub is an Irish pub in Old Town, Chicago, that hosts private parties, birthday parties and corporate events for 30 to 60 guests. It sits on Wells Street directly across from The Second City, so it works well for groups heading to or from a show.

Groups can book a private party in the pub's indoor spaces for 30 to 60 guests. In the summer months the outdoor beer garden behind the pub takes parties of up to 100 guests. The beer garden is semi-private and is reached through the back bar room, which has high-top tables and TVs.

Food and drink for groups come as packages that can be customized. Beverage packages run 2 or 3 hours at three levels, and a cash bar or a host bar charged on consumption is also offered. Food can be trays such as wings and sliders, a dinner buffet with or without passed appetizers, an appetizers-only package, or a weekend brunch buffet, with vegan options. The room has pressed-tin ceilings, dark wood booths and TVs for sports, which suits a watch party or a team happy hour.

Private events are planned with the Vaughan Hospitality events team, who set the food and beverage packages with each group. Minimums apply to the contracted time, food is charged on the final headcount given one day before the event, and package prices do not include tax or gratuity. The Sedgwick Brown and Purple Line station is a short walk away.
