Chicago’s most delicious startup tradition is BACK – and it’s the tastiest way to kick off the year!

Join us inside the Hoste cocktail venue, a modern industrial cocktail taproom in the heart of Pilsen, for a high-energy night of food, drinks, and community as we showcase Chicago’s rising food & beverage startups.

You’ll sample some of the city’s finest bites and sips, meet the founders behind them, and hear a fireside chat with a special guest who knows what it means to serve up success.

What to expect:

• Premium welcome cocktail (Manhattan, Old Fashioned, Negroni, or Martini) courtesy of Hoste.

• Sample delicious bites and sips from 15+ food, drink (alc & non-alc!), and restaurant vendors (the ones you don't have on your radar yet!).

• Lively conversation with old friends and new friends.

• Energy worthy of getting out of the house on a cold January night.

Bottom line: Great food. Great Drinks. Great people who love food, new ideas, and startups.

Whether you're a foodie, a founder, or a food investor, The 6th Annual Great Chicago Food Bash is the place to be.

NOTE:

• This is our largest event of the year and we are likely to reach capacity. Don't delay on getting your tickets!
