About this venue
An Exotic Neighborhood Escape with globetrotting cuisine, tropical cocktails, and bohemian interiors in Chicago’s Loop. The aesthetic of Beatnik is a bold fusion of three destinations that inspire us deeply: Morocco, with its opulent colors and artistic flair; the Mediterranean countryside, offering rustic splendor; and Italy, adding a touch of polish and seductive sophistication. Take us over! From intimate happy hours and jubilant milestones to company buyouts and special occasions, our passionate and skilled events team is ready to help you plan a perfect event.
