Science Cocktail Party

There will be interesting people, and smart people, and beautiful people (often the same people), delicious food, beer, wine and our signature “Pop-Rock Cocktail,” raffle prizes, plus very cool hands-on science experiments. This is definitely the most delicious and fun way to support science in Chicago. 

You will absolutely be talking about this party afterward!

SCIENCE COCKTAIL FAQs – 

Attire – Cocktail party but weather appropriate.  Meaning, if you want to wear your cute party dress or cool new shirt – fantastic. But if it’s rainy cold and you can’t imagine changing out of flannel-lined jeans and a wooly sweater, that’s fine with us! Just no snuggies, please. Ditch boots at the door – the drinks and conversation will warm you right up!

Public Transit – Easy! Event is right across the street from southeast doors of Merchandise Mart. CTA brown line stops on 2nd level of the Mart. (Tip – there is no down escalator in the Mart; use stairs next to ATMs outside CTA turnstiles.) Or, the #156 LaSalle bus stops one block east at 320 LaSalle. Follow the narrow sidewalk on the north side of the building west toward Wells, then turn left. For other options, check TransitChicago.

Dinner before? – If you want a special dinner before the party, there are lots of great restaurants in the River North area. Nearby options include: River Roast or Chicago Cut Steakhouse on LaSalle; or Moe’s Cantina or Highline on Kinzie, or Prime & Provisions just across the river. For many more options, and reservations, try here.  

This is a 21+ event.

Handicap accessible – Yes, DIRTT  is accessible.
