Hospitality is certainly my passion and now a profession. I have started Art Room Events, back in 2015, an event production of unique social opportunities in the Chicagoland area for corporate and team building activities, residential & hotel entertainment, and private celebrations. Our experiences are best described as interactive, creative, social, and fun! They are great to work as a team, improve communication, unplug creativity, connect, and laugh.
One of the first experiences we have introduced was an interactive, 1920’s styled Speakeasy Murder Mystery Improve Cocktail party that was inspired by the historical figures residing in Chicago during the prohibition era. The Dil Pickle Club was a site of cultural interchange in 1920's, full of socialites, brothel owners, bootleggers, radicals, mobsters, activists, artists, and even hobos.

Where you'll be
Located in the historical mansion, designed in 1883, originally constructed as a boarding house, this piece of property has seen an array of businesses come and go. In 2002, an Irish lawyer from Ireland purchased the buildings to open The Galway Arms. The historical design of each of its rooms still resembles old 19th century look and creates a perfect atmosphere for our Dil Pickle Club Speakeasy Murder Mystery cocktail events.

Let me start off by saying my super shy Fiancé is the one who set this up, so I wasn't sure how everything was going to go at first. Not only did they match our characters to our personalities EXACTLY, they made it so easy to really get immersed. The location is beautiful, the drinks were cheap and tasty, and the costumes added the perfect flare! We will definitely be trying to find one of these back home to do more often!

Super fun experience! It may not be unique to Chicago, but I highly recommend you do this while visiting. I was nervous before hand but it ended up being laid back and enjoyable. There were a lot of people participating, although a big group of them were late (not Aly’s fault). Everyone got into it which made it even more fun. She gave in depth character descriptions and really set the scene well. Definitely check it out!
