About Fatpour McCormick: Ultimate Chicago Sports Bar

Fatpour Tap Works McCormick is a two-floor sports bar in the South Loop, Chicago, hosting private parties and corporate events for 9 to 300 guests. It sits steps from McCormick Place, Wintrust Arena and Soldier Field, so it is a natural pick for post-convention receptions, pre-game parties and game day watch parties.

Groups can book the main floor and indoor bar for up to 125 guests cocktail-style or 60 seated, the 2nd Floor Event Space for up to 150 cocktail-style, or the outdoor patio for up to 75 cocktail-style. The 2nd floor can be taken in sections or as a whole floor, and a full venue buyout takes up to 300 people. Each area can be set up for a private or semi-private event.

Events run with full service bars and dedicated servers. Groups of 15 to 35 can order family style platters that each serve 4 to 6, from wings and pretzels to wood-fired pizzas, alongside a long draft list, cocktails, wine and mocktails. The 2nd floor event space has multiple large flatscreens, floor to ceiling windows, built-in audio/video and in-house DJs, and the bar has a 165 inch video wall and a keg wall.

Groups of 9 to 14 reserve a large table, and groups of 15 and up plan their private event with the events team, who can also arrange a DJ, entertainment or a team-building activity. Parties can be booked up to 12 months ahead, with 4 to 6 weeks recommended, and last-minute groups can often be fit in. A birthday party can bring a cake from a commercial bakery; no other outside food is allowed.

Planning your event

Holding an event at Fatpour McCormick starts with choosing an area: the main floor, part or all of the 2nd floor, the patio, or the whole venue. Larger groups plan the menu, bar and setup with the events team, ideally 4 to 6 weeks ahead, and the night runs with dedicated servers and its own bar.

Vibe: A polished casual sports bar with game day energy: big screens on both floors, a 165 inch video wall, Bears games with the sound on and house DJs during commercial breaks.
Space layout: Two floors and a patio. The main floor holds the indoor bar and dining room. The 2nd Floor Event Space has its own full service bar, multiple large flatscreens, floor to ceiling windows and a customizable floor plan, and can be booked in sections or whole. The outdoor patio has north and east side dining areas across the street from Wintrust Arena and McCormick Place.
Private events: Events can be private or semi-private; semi-private events share the space with other guests but have dedicated staff. A group can book a section, a floor or the full venue as a buyout. Groups of 9 to 14 reserve a large table, and groups of 15 and up plan with the events team, who can also arrange a DJ, entertainment or a team-building activity. Bookings open up to 12 months ahead, 4 to 6 weeks is recommended, and last-minute groups can be accommodated.
Food & drinks: Full service bars with dedicated servers. Groups of 15 to 35 can order family style platters that each serve 4 to 6, such as wings, nachos, pretzels, salads, wood-fired pizzas, mac and cheese and chimichurri steak. Drinks include local and imported draft beers in pint and larger pour sizes, cocktails, wine and mocktails.
Group size: From 9 guests up to a 300-person venue buyout. Patio: up to 75 cocktail-style. Main floor and indoor bar: up to 60 seated or 125 cocktail-style. 2nd floor: up to 150 cocktail-style.
