At the Underground, we produce showstopping private events for corporate buyouts, holiday parties, birthday celebrations, and all the special occasions in between! Conveniently located in the trendy River North neighborhood and steps from Michigan Avenue, two unique spaces within the venue provide an expansive playground for up to 450 guests. With in-house catering provided by our award-winning sister restaurant, Sunda New Asian, private events at the Underground feature an incredible assortment of passed cuisine and sweets, as well as chef-attended action stations and buffets. Offering a full portfolio of premium spirits, champagne, wine, and beer, the Underground’s food-and-beverage program is second to none.
