Private parties, birthdays and buyouts for 12 to 65 guests take place at Vol. 39, the library-themed cocktail bar in the Kimpton Gray Hotel in the Loop, Chicago. It suits a birthday, team happy hour or company holiday party that wants a polished, quiet room and serious cocktails rather than a loud party bar.
Groups can take a semi-private area for up to 12 guests or book a full buyout of the second-floor lounge for up to 65, seated or standing. The bar is also set up for intimate cocktail receptions and upscale dinners, and hosted tastings can run as a private event or among the bar's other guests.
The room evokes a dimly lit law library or a 1940s smoking lounge, with tufted leather couches in cognac and charcoal. Drinks lean on updated classics made with hand-cut ice and house-made bitters, plus fine wines, spirits and beer, with hors d'oeuvres and small plates for groups. For events the team can create a signature cocktail with themed appetizers, bring out silver-cart champagne and caviar service, run a two-hour sommelier-led wine and cheese tasting, or host a private two-hour Dalmore scotch tasting.
Events are planned with the venue's team, who help design each one, and the hotel provides on-site event coordination, setup assistance and customized catering. Garage and valet parking are nearby, the CTA Blue, Red and Brown lines are a short walk away, and ride-share drop-off is at the LaSalle Street entrance.
Vol. 39 hosts semi-private gatherings for up to 12 guests and full buyouts for up to 65 in its second-floor lounge at the Kimpton Gray Hotel. The team helps each group design the event, from a signature cocktail with themed appetizers to champagne and caviar service or a hosted wine, cheese or scotch tasting, with on-site coordination from the hotel.
