FAQs/COVID
Question
Am I required to be vaccinated?
Answer
Yes. In the City of Chicago effective January 3, anyone age 5 and older will be required to show proof of FULL vaccination to dine inside venues where food and drinks are being served. This includes our venue. There WILL NOT be a testing exemption. Guests with previous medical or religious exemptions (from a doctor or employer) will be required to provide proof of a negative test administered by a medical professional within 72 hours AND must submit proof of this exemption to the venue at least one week in advance. Please note, at this time the CDC does not require a booster to be considered fully vaccinated. We will continue to make updates to this website as they are communicated by the city and the venue. Additionally, please consider taking a COVID test prior to the events. Please reach out to us with any questions or concerns.
