Sweetwater Tavern & Grille (Michigan Plaza - Chicago)

Events are planned with the venue's events team, who settle the space and details with each group. Groups choose between a private dining room for 25, semi-private event space for 125 or a full buyout for up to 300. Food and drink come from the tavern's own menu and craft beer bar.

Vibe

Casual and lively, with TVs throughout and a long craft beer list. Time Out describes it as a crowded downtown after-work spot.

Space layout

About 9,000 square feet of dining space: a glassed-in dining room with booths and high-top communal tables, a bar with a wall of taps, and a patio. Events use the private dining room, a semi-private area or the whole restaurant.

Private events

The private dining room is fully private; the semi-private event space is an area of the restaurant set aside for one group; a full buyout closes the whole venue to the group. Parties of 15 or more are planned with the events team.

Food & drinks

Groups order from the modern American menu, with scratch cooking across starters, salads, burgers, handhelds and entrees. The bar offers around 80 craft beers, seasonal cocktails, wines on tap and zero-proof drinks. Weekend brunch runs until 3 pm on Saturday and Sunday.

Group size

Up to 25 guests in the private dining room, up to 125 in the semi-private event space, and up to 300 for a full buyout. Parties of 15 or more are planned with the events team.
