This is one of our favorite spots in downtown Chicago. Country music, BBQ, and good drinks...what more could you need? Fun Facts: One of our first real dates was at Bub City, and it’s also where we had brunch after getting engaged! Their signature drink, Back Porch Tea, even makes a cameo as a doodle on our wedding invitations. Note: We won’t be providing brunch for everyone, but we’ll reserve a space based on RSVPs. This will be a fun, casual hangout for anyone who wants to join us!

Arrival Instructions: If you are staying at the Radisson Blu Aqua... Take the hotel elevator to the 3rd floor. The Club Suite will be on your left when you exit the elevator. If you are NOT staying at the Radisson Blu Aqua... Enter the building through the condo entrance, not the hotel entrance. The condo entrance is off the drive located between the Aqua building and the fire station. When you get to the front desk, tell them you are there for “Ryan and Kelli’s Welcome Party” in the Club Suite and give them your name. They will direct you to the elevator. Once on the 3rd floor, go to the end of the hall, opposite the pool. We will have a sampling of Chicago food staples, as well as beer, wine, and other assorted alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. The party will be open house-style, so feel free to arrive whenever and stay as long or as short as you’d like.
4:30 pm - 10:00 pm
