Be sure to bring business cards for swapping! Tickets include admission, snacks from AJ’s Bakery, and your first drink. Space is limited and tickets typically go fast—register soon to secure your spot!

About Long Room Chicago

Located in Chicago’s Ravenswood Community, the Long Room’s roots as a friendly neighborhood tavern were established in January 2000. Being one of the leaders in the growth of the Chicago craft beer scene, the mission to always respect the dynamic nature of tavern culture has led to an ever-evolving authentic approach to hospitality.

The Long Room offers service from early morning until late night, delivering a thoughtfully curated full scale coffee program, a playful ever-changing beer list, and a well rounded collection of spirits and classic cocktails.
