Food That Works for a Group
Skip the sad party tray. Rec Haus offers buffet-style food packages designed for groups, with options that can be selected ahead of your event.
Buffet selections may include appetizers, sliders, flatbreads, wings, and sauces, with options such as pretzel sticks, cheese curds, fries, Wagyu beef sliders, chicken sliders, BBQ brisket sliders, buffalo chicken flatbread, pesto flatbread, bone-in or boneless wings, and more.
Your final food options can be planned with the Rec Haus team based on your group size, event type, and package.
Flexible Drink Options
Rec Haus can help you choose the drink setup that fits your event.
Options may include drink tickets, beer and wine packages, Haus bar packages, premium bar packages, hosted bar tabs, or guest-paid bar service. That means you can keep things simple, cover a set amount for your guests, or let guests purchase their own drinks during the event.
With 24 self-pour taps featuring local Illinois craft breweries, plus a full-service bar and handcrafted cocktails, Rec Haus gives your group more flexibility than a typical banquet room or restaurant party space.
A Private Party Venue That Actually Gives People Something to Do
Most event spaces give your guests a room, tables, and a meal. Rec Haus gives them a reason to move around, compete, laugh, and stay engaged.
Your guests can play arcade games, grab food, pour a beer, order a cocktail, shoot pool, watch the game, join a group activity, or just hang out. It works for kids, adults, coworkers, families, and mixed-age groups because there is not just one thing to do.
Rec Haus is a strong fit for:
- Birthday parties
- Corporate outings
- Company parties
- Holiday parties
- Team events
- Social gatherings
- Celebrations
- Full-venue events
