678 North Orleans Street, Chicago, IL, 60654, United States
Attire: Casual Attire: Anything goes, from sundresses and sandals to jeans and tees.
Let's kick off the wedding celebrations with some of our favorite foods from our favorite dive bar. We know most of you have traveled all day to be here, therefore this will be a casual event with heavy appetizers and cocktails of your choice.
Fun Fact: During Prohibition, this bar was a popular place to get illicit libations. Because the front door is green, this color became a symbol for a speakeasy.
Thank you so much for coming, we can't wait to start celebrating with you all!
