The Underground Chicago

Let us customize a package to meet your needs.

Among the congregation of Chicago’s brightest and most talented you will always find a rotating “who’s who” of celebrities, international DJs and other bold-faced names at The Underground. Located in the chic River North neighborhood this stylized sanctuary has elevated Chicago nightlife to unprecedented heights and is recognized as Chicago’s premier, upscale, cutting-edge nightclub where every guest is a VIP. Host your next corporate event, social occasion, landmark birthday celebration, branding reception, holiday party, fundraiser, client appreciation party or even a trendy rehearsal dinner party in this avant-garde re-creation of a top-secret, military hideaway complete with hand-carved cocktail tables, a giant illuminated world map, lounge sofa seating, two bars, and lighting as soft and complimentary as it is dramatic.

Upscale American fare makes for mouth-watering, homemade party menu selections that mirror the cuisine of our sister restaurant Rockit Bar & Grill. Our in-house catering kitchen allows our event planners to customize your menu with passed appetizers, carving stations, buffets and sweets which pair with our specialty cocktails created by our award-winning mixologist.

Described as one of the sexiest places in the world” by Cosmopolitan Magazine, The Underground was also named “One of America’s Top Ten VIP Lounges” by Playboy. Call our event planners to assist you with every detail of your event including catering customized menus, flowers, linens, specialty lighting, logo incentive items, gifts and giveaways, step-and-repeat, red carpet, and more.
