Celebrating in Uptown
Where Uptown hosts use games & kids
The lakefront is the other half of Uptown. Montrose Beach and Montrose Harbor, with its wide lawn and skyline views, are a popular place for picnics and large family parties, and the nearby lakefront paths are popular for walking and gathering. Everything out there is managed by the Chicago Park District, so permits and rules come first. Lake wind is a real factor, so we'll steer you toward heavier chairs for anything near the water.
Uptown is also home to a deeply international community, with Vietnamese, Chinese, Ethiopian, Latino and other cultures along Argyle Street and Broadway. Banquets, weddings and New Year celebrations often fill restaurants and halls with long rows of round tables. If you're laying out a big room, send us your headcount and the floor plan and we'll build a table and chair count that matches how you want guests to sit.
Montrose Harbor and lakefront lawns
Skyline views and open grass for large family parties, subject to Chicago Park District permits and lake wind.
Games & kids here: Parks usually require permission for inflatables and often a generator, since there is no outlet nearby.
Historic theaters and ballroom-style rooms
Uptown's old entertainment buildings host concerts and special events, often with their own furniture and load-in rules.
Games & kids here: Venues may require proof of insurance from the inflatable company and limit where units go; ask before you book.
Argyle Street banquet rooms
Restaurant and hall banquets for weddings, Lunar New Year and milestone birthdays, usually with large round-table layouts.
Games & kids here: Venues may require proof of insurance from the inflatable company and limit where units go; ask before you book.
Vintage courtyard apartment buildings
Courtyards and rooftop spaces suit smaller parties, with stairs and narrow entrances to plan for.
Games & kids here: Measure the yard: most bounce houses need a flat space about 5 feet larger than the unit on each side, an outlet within 50 feet, and no overhead wires.
