Frequently Asked Questions

When does my Brixen Ivy Wrigley Rooftop Party Start?
Your party begins one hour before the Cubs game time, and ends one half hour after.

What does the Per-Person Price Include?
Everything! All the food you care to eat, all the beverages you should drink, and a fantastic view of the game.

What rules apply to the consumption of alcohol?
Chicago city ordinances pertaining to responsible drinking apply – we are required to stop serving alcohol to anyone we believe is “overserved” at our discretion. Beer and wine are served.  Alcohol service concludes at the end of the 7th inning.  Plenty of non-alcoholic beverages are available throughout the entire game.

How long will the catering last?
Our grill is turned off in the top of the 7th inning, but the food trails off into the 8th inning. Desserts are served in the 5th inning.

What happens if there is bad weather?
Don’t worry, there is plenty of fun indoors, and we have enough indoor space for everyone! There will be a full refund if the Chicago Cubs cancel the game before its scheduled start time.  There will otherwise be no exceptions.  If your group has assembled on the roof and wishes to stay after the scheduled start time has past, no refund will be issued.

Once the game has started, there will be no refund regardless of rain delays, postponements, or cancellations.  If the game is rescheduled or postponed, the lessee has 14 days to rebook the make-up game date (and the make-up game date only) for a $40.00 per person inclusive fee for up to the original number of guests booked.

Can my group hang banners or signs?
Unfortunately, as per our agreement with the Cubs, no banners or signs facing the park will be permitted.  Only banners and advertising completely visible from the confines of the facility will be allowed for display.

How does payment work?
A 25% deposit is due immediately upon the signing of our contract.  The balance is due two months before the event.  Once the season begins, we change to a 50% deposit and the balance due one month prior to the game. We accept check, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover Card.

Does your rooftop have an elevator?
Yes.  If you need an elevator, please tell our doorman.  He will escort you down our west alley to the rear of the building where our elevator is located.  We have bathrooms on the 3rd and 4th floors that are ADA compliant.
