The Alderman is an award-winning, 16-seat cocktail bar in Pilsen, Chicago, that hosts private parties for up to 22 guests standing. Tucked behind closed doors inside Pilsen Yards, it won the 2022 Jean Banchet Award for Best Bar, which makes it a strong pick for a small birthday party, client drinks or a team night out built around great cocktails.
The whole bar can be taken as a private event space. The room seats 16 or holds 22 standing, with a plush velvet banquette and a 4-seat bar counter, so a group has the space to itself.
The Alderman is a drinks-only concept. Its cocktail list runs from riffs on American classics to a rotating seasonal selection, and events are charged on what the group drinks. The room is dark and candlelit, with a chandelier, framed art and a backlit back bar.
Private events are planned with the Pilsen Yards event coordinator. A food and beverage minimum applies and depends on the season, the day and whether the party starts before or after 7pm, and a deposit secures the date. The final guest count is due a week ahead, and glitter, confetti and anything nailed or stuck to the walls are not allowed.
A group books the whole of The Alderman as a private room through the Pilsen Yards events program. The event coordinator confirms the date and time, a deposit holds it, and on the night the group drinks from the cocktail list, charged on consumption against a food and beverage minimum.
