FAQ
How many people can your space accommodate?
Our occupancy limit is 50 guests at one time. For larger events of 75+ people, we can accommodate based on the event type and guest flow, such as a 3-4 hour open house where guests arrive and leave throughout the event.
What types of events do you host at The Captain's Room?
All of our events are private and scheduled by appointment. We also host our own curated private parties and events, which are occasionally open for reservations on a limited basis. These events are listed on our calendar and promoted via email and social media on a first-come, first-serve basis.
For bespoke food and wine events, we start with a "blank canvas" approach—literally a piece of butcher paper, a sharpie, and a glass of wine. Together, we’ll craft the perfect menu, wine and cocktail service, and ambiance tailored to your specific preferences and vision.
Our typical events include high-end dinner parties, chef- and sommelier-led tastings, and wine events with some of Napa Valley's finest vineyards. We partner with renowned chefs, caterers, and VIPs from fine dining restaurants to hold very special, private one-of-a-kind gatherings that leave a lasting impression.
We also host corporate events, offering high-speed Wi-Fi, comfortable meeting spaces, and catering options to create business events that seamlessly blend productivity with exceptional food and beverage service.
Additionally, we serve as an elite co-working space for those visiting Chicagoland who seek a swanky, secure home base between downtown and O’Hare Airport. Our location is just 10 minutes from O’Hare and 16 miles from the heart of Chicago. Luxury and secure transportation services are also available through our vetted third-party partners.
Are you a full-service restaurant with a liquor license?
Yes, we have a full liquor and package license. While our menus are bespoke and tailored to each event, guests who find something in our collection that they love can purchase bottles or cases to take home.
Can I order wine or can you source wine from the vineyards or distributors you partner with?
Yes, we can source exclusive wines for friends and family on a case-by-case basis (pun intended). We also have a wine club model in development and will be sharing more details about it in early 2025.
Do you rent the space like a banquet hall where we can bring our own food and liquor?
No, we are not set up for unsupervised events of that nature. We are a full-service venue where every detail is handled for you, including set-up, service, and clean-up. If you're looking for a space where you can bring in your own food and drink, we’re happy to recommend other venues in town.
