Tailored Spaces for Every Group Size
Whether you’re a small startup or a large corporation, we can accommodate groups of almost any size.
- Free Table Reservations: Perfect for more casual gatherings, we can often reserve tables for smaller teams (typically up to 30 people) at no charge. You can even run a cash bar!
- Paid Space Rentals: We offer various space rental options for dedicated reserved areas, guaranteed seating, or larger groups. These options give you more control over your event’s flow and privacy.
- Full Venue Buyouts: For the ultimate private experience, you can rent out an entire Emporium location, making it exclusively yours for the night! This is ideal for large-scale company celebrations, product launches, or a grand holiday party where you want complete control over the environment and guest experience.
Be sure to contact us to discuss capacities at your preferred Emporium location. We have venues in Chicago, San Francisco, and New Orleans. Each venue offers distinct vibes and layouts to perfectly match your event’s personality and scale.
Food & Beverage Freedom
While we don’t have our own kitchen, we offer maximum flexibility regarding food. You can bring outside food or arrange catering from your favorite vendors. This means you can customize your menu to fit your team’s tastes and dietary needs, from casual pizza to gourmet appetizers.
For drinks, our full bar offers:
- An extensive craft beer and cocktail menu featuring local brews and expertly mixed drinks.
- Flexible drink packages, including cash bar, drink tickets, or open bar wristbands. (Shots aren’t typically included with wristbands, and everyone in the group usually needs to participate in the wristband package for seamless service.)

The sheer variety ensures something for everyone, from competitive gamers to casual players looking to laugh.
