Bordel // Parisian-inspired speakeasy with nightly music & entertainment. Through a hidden door and up the leopard-print stairs, you will find yourself inside Bordel, appointed with pink velvet sofas and drapes, tasseled chandeliers, vintage bronze “cherub” sconces, Persian Bokhara hand-knotted rugs and walls covered in custom, handcrafted wallpaper inspired by 20th century American pulp cover artistry. As the sun sets on Wicker Park, Bordel’s sumptuous candlelit interiors beckon with nightly entertainment on stage, offering a premier cast of jazz musicians and burlesque performers. The soul of Bordel lies in its spectacle. Be seduced by the sights, sounds and flavors of Bordel as you are transported to the licentious quarters of the City of Light with Chicago’s sexiest cabaret shows. Since its founding in 2014, Bordel has been Chicago’s leader in coupling high energy nightlife and creative craft cocktails. The originator of the “cocktail porrón”, a playful blend of our Spanish roots and indulgent love of great drinks, and our oft-imitated “World Famous Spanish Coffee”, the award-winning beverage team, continues to create unique “bordel-ed” twists on classic cocktails; matching the fun, irreverent spectacle of the venue with tipples that are as delicious in the glass as they are photogenic in your hand. When your downstairs neighbor is one of the city’s best Spanish restaurants — Mama Delia — event dining gets a major upgrade at Bordel. A delicious selection of dishes from Mama Delia's Event Menu is available at Bordel. Event Capacities: - Private Event // 130 Guests, Cocktail Style - Semi Private Event // 60 Guests, Cocktail Style
