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 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. 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. We accept check, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover Card.
What does your menu consist of?
Our rooftop has its own personal chef that grills your food on site. He takes a lot of pride in providing you with the tastiest meal possible. Here is what our menu consists of: 1/4 pound gourmet hamburgers and cheeseburgers (American or Pepper Jack cheese), hot dogs, Italian Sausage with grilled onions and peppers and marinara and shredded mozzerella, Polish Sausage, 6 oz. chicken breast sandwiches, and veggie burgers with all the fixings. Our caterer prepares fresh potato salads, pasta salads, fruit trays, veggie trays (with dips), chocolate chip cookies, our famous “Brixen Ivy Brownies”, and lemon bars each day. Our chip selection includes Ruffles original, Ruffles Sour Cream & Cheddar Chips, Fritos, Doritos, Cool Ranch Doritos, Cheetos, and regular Lays potato chips. If you would like something you don’t see, please ask.
We serve Miller, Budweiser, and Coors products as well as Heineken, Heineken light, and Corona beers. We carry two different red wines (merlot, cabernet, or a blend) and two white wines (Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay). Our non alcoholic beverages include regular and diet soft drinks, lemonade, club soda, and bottled water. If you have a specific beverage need, please ask. We will do our best to accommodate your needs.
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.
Is there a place to leave my bag?
Brixen Ivy does not have a private and secure closet that can accommodate your personal belongings, therefore it is best not to bring anything of value to the rooftops.
