The Bristol
EST. 2009
This is where you go to show off if you're celebrating in Chicago.
Where else can you take in a private art gallery while snacking on must-try dishes, according to Zagat, GQ, and the Chicago Tribune? Seat 130 for a grand dinner of lively conversation or invite 160 of the finest drinkers you got to stand around and gawk at the cocktail line-up. It doesn't hurt that the restaurant has a reputation for high-quality ingredients coming from a network of sustainable farmers, foragers, and artisan craftsmen.

Gatherings

With an abundance of loft spaces, warehouses, boutique hotels and access to some of the country’s best restaurants, Chicago is one epic city to host a holiday party in. Gather your company’s top performing employees for an intimate dinner in the city or rally the troops from every branch of the organization and hit the town for a posh night of celebrating the season. Pop champagne around a fireplace or have your very own award show in a local theater. We’ve got all the ideas, you just need to bring the team along for a good time.

Chicago is one of those cities that turns getting lost into not only an art form, but an incredible adventure. A sprawling city with many neighborhoods that still maintain that old school urban vibe, Chicago is bustling with amazing restaurants and bars, cool event spaces, breweries galore, an art scene that’s pretty impossible to conquer in just a weekend, and a whole lot of history and character.
Rather than booking the cliché trip to Vegas for a bachelor party, or to Sonoma for wine tasting with a bachelorette party, you may want to consider adding this great old American city to your list of weekend getaway possibilities. There are party spots in every neighborhood, whether you’re looking for a great bar to have a seat and unwind from a day of sightseeing, a restaurant with food as good as your grandmother’s, or a warehouse space to throw an epic party.
Oh, and be sure to stop by Millennium Park if you get a chance, it’s truly impressive and packed with tons of cool art installations. The Museum of Contemporary Art and The Field Museum are also worth a gander if you’ve got the time. So much to see!
