About Parlay River North

Parlay River North is a sports bar in River North, Chicago, that hosts birthday parties, watch parties and corporate events for up to 200 guests. It fills the first floor of Joy District, and planners pick it for game-day groups: big screens face the booths and the bar, and drink packages keep a large group simple.

Groups book semi-private spaces within the first-floor room, which holds up to 200 guests in total. Tagvenue lists the room at up to 80 seated and up to 200 standing. Large garage-door windows open the room onto the street.

A party here centers on the screens: multiple 100-inch LED TVs and a 200-inch projection screen, with booth seating and a long bar. The kitchen serves elevated American bar food and classic pizzas, with weekend brunch. Groups of 15 or more can add a 2 or 3 hour drink wristband package covering well mixed drinks, domestic beer and seltzers, and bottle service is available. Weekend nights bring DJs and a livelier crowd, and weekday happy hour suits an after-work team outing.

Parties larger than 8 go through a request, and larger private events are planned with the Joy District events team. Tagvenue shows a minimum spend per session for the space. The venue is 21+ with valid ID, has a dress code, charges a cake fee for outside birthday cakes and offers valet parking.
