Snorkelbox

Planning starts with the food hall's events team, one point of contact who sets the space, drink package and food with each group. On the day, dedicated servers, bartenders and an event manager run the party at Snorkelbox Bar or across the food hall.

Vibe

A travel-themed cocktail bar with a sleek counter and comfortable seating at the entrance of a food hall in the historic Old Post Office. The drinks are taken seriously and the tone stays relaxed.

Space layout

Snorkelbox Bar holds 100 guests at a reception and can be booked whole or as a semi-private area. A full buyout of the 18,000 sq ft food hall, which includes the bar, holds 275 seated or 350 at a reception.

Private events

Semi-private options and buyouts of the bar are available, as is a buyout of the whole food hall. Events have one point of contact and are staffed by dedicated servers, bartenders and event managers. Each private event carries an administrative charge and tax, with event staff fees applied as needed.

Food & drinks

Drink packages from the Snorkelbox bar, with seasonal cocktails, Chicago craft beer, wine and non-alcoholic drinks, paired with small bites and local food from the food hall's chefs. All food and drink must come from From Here On.

Group size

Happy hours from around 15 guests, receptions of up to 100 at Snorkelbox Bar, and up to 275 seated or 350 standing for a full food hall buyout.
