About Jefferson Tap & Grille

Jefferson Tap & Grille is a West Loop sports bar in Chicago that hosts private parties, birthdays and corporate events for up to 150 guests in its upstairs Loft. The bar has been in the Fulton River District since 2002, in a 19th-century timber loft building with two floors and two full bars. Groups get a room of their own with TVs, a pool table and a bar, and late hours if the night runs on.

The event space is The Loft, a private party room on the second floor above the main bar. It has its own entrance, its own bar and its own restrooms. It seats up to 70 at the bar counter, tables and booths along a brick wall, and holds up to 150 for a standing party.

Food for Loft events comes as stationed hot appetizer packages, buffets (pizza, chicken and burgers, Southwest, Italian and brunch) and trays of sliders, skewers and wings. Drinks run as 2 or 3 hour beverage packages, from beer and wine up to a luxury tier. The room has six TVs, a drop-down projector and an AUX hookup, which suits game watch parties, presentations and corporate meetings.

Events are planned with the venue's events team, who give tours of The Loft, hold dates and set the food, bar package and floor plan with each group. Events using audio, a microphone or TV streaming need a tech check at least 24 hours ahead. No events are held on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, and rates rise for major sports events and some holidays.

Planning your event

A private event at Jefferson Tap & Grille takes place in The Loft, the upstairs party room with its own entrance, bar and restrooms. The events team gives a tour, holds the date and works out the food package, beverage package and room setup with the group. Events with A/V get a tech check at least 24 hours before the party.

Vibe: A casual neighborhood sports bar and grill in an old brick-and-timber loft building, with TVs throughout and late hours.
Space layout: The main floor has the main bar and dining room, with a patio out front on Jefferson Street. The Loft is on the second floor, overlooking Jefferson Street, with a private bar, booths along a brick wall, tables, a pool table and private restrooms.
Private events: The Loft is the private event space and has its own dedicated entrance. The venue's events team gives tours, holds dates and plans the menu and bar package with each group, and the room can be set up to suit the event's floor plan. Audio, microphone and TV streaming are add-ons and need a tech check at least 24 hours before the event. No events are held on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, and rates go up for major sports events and some holidays.
Food & drinks: Groups choose stationed hot appetizer packages, buffets (pizza with Caesar salad, chicken and burgers, Southwest fajitas, traditional Italian, or brunch) or trays such as sliders, skewers, wings and platters. Beverage packages run 2 or 3 hours in four tiers: beer and wine, premium, super premium and luxury. Specialty or welcome cocktails are extra, and packages do not include shots.
