Hey guys! Although we are so very fortunate that you love us so much!; we kindly ask you to refrain from posting a social media party invitation for all your closest friends & relatives to come party at the Nest, without making a reservation in advance! We really want your kibbitznest experience to be awesome; so we want to be prepared to accommodate you. In addition, there are spending minimums, a service charge for the staff, and the City of Chicago legal maximum occupancy to consider plus we have limited space for large parties.

That being said, please make a table or space reservation if you have 5 or more people in your party. We cannot accommodate large parties without a reservation.

So, to reserve space for a simple friend or family get together, to hold a book club, a large group party such as a birthday party, engagement party or going away party or any other group activity such as a board meeting, a business meeting, to do an art project, and any other activity that is normally done in such places as someone's home, office, coffee shop, restaurant, a public building or school, please email store@kibbitznest.com for the availability and cost to do so. We will not be able to accommodate your group walk-in without a reservation.

General Provisions for all reservations:

  • If there is anyone under 21, we must know in advance

  • There will be a refundable deposit due to confirm the reservation

  • There is a minimum spending per person OR a rental rate for the Party Room or the Reading Room where ALL purchases are deducted from, not in addition to (in most instances).

  • When requesting a reservation please include the specific date or the day of the week, the time of day and the number of people; this information will determine the spending minimums and rental fees.

  • Please respond in a timely fashion to confirm your reservation as requests are taken throughout the day.

  • For table reservations only: Please know within 1-3 people (depending on total number) how many people will be in your party. For example, if you think 10-15 might come, the reservation cannot be confirmed until you narrow it down to 9-10 or 12-15 or 12-14.

    Thank you so much for your understanding and cooperation.
