KEY THINGS TO KNOW

Our dress code is cocktail attire. Dress to feel great and ready to hit the dance floor! Bonus points if your outfit makes you feel like a million bucks.

As a nod to Chinese tradition, we kindly ask our guests to avoid wearing black.

If you are taking public transit, the venue is just a 5 mins walk from the Western Blue Line at Milwaukee Ave.

If you are driving or taking a uber, estimated drive times from:
Oak Park - 30mins
Downtown Chicago - 30mins

We recommend adding 15-20 mins of buffer time for traffic and parking, especially if you need to get on I-90.

For our out-of-town guests, we recommend staying in Wicker Park or Logan Square, the neighborhoodS where our venue is located. There are plenty of Airbnb options, full of great restaurants and fun things to do. Plus, it’s an easy trip to get to the O’hare airport.

If you prefer a hotel, the Robey and Hyatt Place Chicago / Wicker Park are the 2 closest options in the area.
