First Draft is a beer bar and grill in Printer's Row, South Loop, Chicago, hosting birthday parties, happy hours, watch parties and casual group events. Planners pick it for a relaxed sports-bar setting with a long draft beer list and set party packages that keep food and drinks simple.
Groups gather in First Draft's bar and dining room, a single space with brick, wood and old timber beams. The venue's published party details focus on food and drink packages rather than named party rooms, so where a group sits is settled when the party is scheduled.
Food for groups comes as set packages, from apps-and-mains sets to a barbecue buffet with a smoked brisket carving station where a chef slices brisket tableside. Drinks come as hourly open-bar packages in three tiers: well, premium and import, and top shelf. Chicago sports memorabilia and plenty of TVs make it an easy pick for a game-day watch party or a team happy hour, and the kitchen also has a gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan menu.
Planning a private party here means choosing a food package and a drink package with the venue when the date is set. The kitchen closes before the bar, so late events should plan food for earlier in the night. First Draft is close to several El lines and bus routes.
Holding a party at First Draft starts with picking a date and one of its set food packages, from apps-and-mains sets to a barbecue buffet. Groups add an hourly open-bar drink package, and the party takes place in the bar and dining room with the games on TV.
