Queen Mary

Cocktail bar buyouts in Ukrainian Village

Cancellation policy
Free cancellations for 48 hours after booking, unless the booking is within 48 hours of the event.

Queen Mary is a maritime cocktail tavern in Ukrainian Village, Chicago, that hosts private parties as full bar buyouts. Planners pick it for a restored 1940s barroom on Division Street, a backbar built around gin, rum and Scotch whisky, and a covered patio open year-round.

What a group can book is the whole bar. The barroom has a long bar that is double-sided at one end, which gives a larger group a place to sit together, plus small tables and booths. The covered, heated patio is part of the tavern and closes at midnight.

Drinks are the focus: house cocktails, classic cocktails and highballs, custom drinks made to order, maritime spirits and fortified wines. Food comes from a small galley kitchen, and Motorshucker runs a raw bar happy hour on Sundays and Mondays. The room is low-key and wood-paneled, with ship, mermaid and sea captain artwork.

Buyouts are planned with the bar at least one month ahead, starting from the date, hours, approximate number of guests and occasion. Buyouts are generally available most days during normal business hours, except Sundays and Mondays. Queen Mary is 21+ indoors and outdoors and sits near the Blue Line Division stop.
