About HIDE+SEEK

HIDE+SEEK hosts private dinners, cocktail receptions, birthday parties and corporate events for 6 to 185 guests on Randolph Row in the West Loop, Chicago. It is a two-level restaurant and cocktail bar, so a group can book anything from a 10-seat private dining room to a whole floor or a full buyout.

The Private Dining Room seats 10 off the first floor dining room, with full AV. The Second Floor is a private event space with its own white marble bar, audio booth and restrooms, seating 42 or holding 85 for a reception. The First Floor seats 40 or holds 100, and a full venue buyout seats 80 or holds 185. Semi-private options include the First Floor Bar for receptions of 20 to 40, the Second Floor Bar for 15 to 20, The Seventies banquette for 10 to 14 seated, and the Garden Patio on Randolph Street for 43 seated.

Group dining is family style: shared plates of creative American food with Spanish, French and Italian touches, served at seated dinner parties of 12 or more, or at a family style brunch with endless mimosas for 15 to 40. Cocktail receptions can add displayed hors d'oeuvres, with drinks on a consumption bar or an hourly bar package. The room has chandeliers, velvet seating and banquettes, and on Friday and Saturday nights DJs play on the second floor.

Events are planned with the restaurant's events team, who set the menu, bar format and setup with each group. Floor and full venue buyouts need at least 30 days notice and other private parties at least 7 days. A non-refundable deposit and a guaranteed guest count are due at booking, menu choices are approved two weeks ahead, and a service charge and administrative fee are added to the bill. Valet parking is at Green St and Randolph St.

Planning your event

A private party at HIDE+SEEK starts with choosing a space, from the 10-seat private dining room to a floor or full venue buyout, and a guest count. The events team then works out a family style dinner or brunch menu, hors d'oeuvres and a bar format with the group, and menu choices are locked in two weeks before the event.

Vibe: Comfortable elegance with playful design: crystal chandeliers, velvet seating and banquettes. On Friday and Saturday nights the second floor turns into a late-night scene with DJs.
Space layout: Two levels. The first floor has the main dining room and a long bar under chandeliers, with the private dining room off the dining room. The second floor has its own white marble bar, audio booth, restrooms and banquettes along windows over Randolph Row. The Garden Patio faces Randolph Street. The events guide also lists two smaller seated areas, Table Sixty and The Seventies.
Private events: Private options are the Private Dining Room, the Second Floor, the First Floor and a full venue buyout. The two bars, The Seventies and the Garden Patio are semi-private. Planning covers date and times, party size, event style (formal seated, cocktail reception or flexible) and menu. Floor and full venue buyouts need at least 30 days notice and other parties at least 7 days. A non-refundable deposit is due at booking and is applied to the final bill, along with a guaranteed guest count.
Food & drinks: Seated groups of 12 or more choose a family style dinner menu. The family style brunch menu with endless mimosas is for 15 to 40 guests. Standing receptions can add displayed hors d'oeuvres. Drinks run on a consumption bar or an hourly bar package for 15 or more guests. Custom menus, custom cakes, and floral and decor are offered, and most allergies and dietary needs can be handled with notice.
Group size: Table Sixty: 6 to 8 seated. Private Dining Room: 10 seated. The Seventies: 10 to 14 seated. Second Floor Bar: receptions of 15 to 20. First Floor Bar: receptions of 20 to 40.
