Where to Entertain Near McCormick Place Convention Center
Holding events near McCormick place convention center in Chicago just got easier. There are a lot of options within blocks of Chicago’s McCormick Place. Choose from the following restaurants with private dining, group spaces and event spaces in Chicago\’s South Loop for your next private party, client event or corporate party:
Zapatista
Zapatista is one of Chicago’s best authentic Mexican restaurants. Favorite dishes include the made-to-order guacamole and the fajitas which are served sizzling hot in a molcajete or lave stone. The menu also boasts excellent steak and seafood dishes and a seemingly endless list of tequila choices. And our guests will love al fresco dining in late spring through early autumn, with our grand outdoor dining area on the sidewalk.
Zapatista is located at 1307 S Wabash Avenue in Chicago’s South Loop, a short cab ride from McCormick Place Chicago and The Hyatt McCormick Place. Zapatista is a great location for any special event. Our family style menu, “Mesa de amigos” (table of friends), encourages an interactive experience in a casual restaurant setting for groups of up to 250.
Room 21
If you’ve got out-of-town guests who want to get an authentic Chicago experience, you could take them to one of the many joints claiming to be the home of Chicago-style pizza or to one of the city’s many steakhouses. But if you want something really authentic, head over to Room 21, a remodeled warehouse with a colorful background. The building housing the eatery is also the location where Elliot Ness first busted Al Capone during Prohibition. In fact, it gets its name from a door labeled “Room 21” found at the end of an escape tunnel during the building’s renovation.
The décor in Room 21’s dining room can best be categorized as upscale brothel, which is fitting in that the famous Everleigh Sisters ran their house of ill repute not far away. The upscale American menu holds its own against the lush décor. Though the prices are so hefty that you might expect that a visit with one of the Everleigh’s employees was included in the meal, you do get a lot of bang for your buck. Room 21 is located at 2110 S. Wabash and within walking distance of McCormick Place Chicago Convention Center.
