The Bassment · Nightclub · Chicago
A live music cocktail lounge behind a secret door beneath The Hampton Social on West Hubbard Street.
The Bassment hides on the lower level beneath The Hampton Social at 353 W Hubbard in River North, a live music cocktail lounge you reach through a secret door and a welcoming greeting room.
It is when the red curtain is pulled back that the room opens up: a large yet comfortable modern lounge designed with the 1960s British Invasion in mind. Gold accents run throughout, set against brick walls, a mix of velvet and leather couches, and a full stage at the center of the night.
Live music is the reason to come. Guests can take a front-row seat for the performers or hang back where the cocktails are flowing, and the bar pours a menu of handcrafted cocktails. The room also books private events, with customizable floor plans, a DJ or live band, and A/V with a projector for groups that want the space to themselves.
With The Hampton Social directly upstairs, dinner and a live set downstairs fit into one River North address. Tell us the night and your group size, and our Chicago team will arrange the table.
Address: 353 W Hubbard St, Lower Level, Chicago, IL 60654, Chicago

Frequently asked about The Bassment
How do I book a table at The Bassment in Chicago?
Submit the reservation request on this page and our concierge team confirms your table, quotes any minimum spend in writing, and coordinates arrival before you commit. Your host opens the door on arrival so you walk straight to a ready table.
How much is a table at The Bassment?
A table at The Bassment depends on the night (weekends and event dates price highest), your group size, and where the table sits relative to the DJ booth and dance floor. Rather than a price that changes weekly, MyRSVP quotes your exact minimum spend in writing when confirming, so you know the cost before you arrive.
What is the dress code at The Bassment?
The Bassment keeps an upscale nightlife dress code: stylish, dressed-up attire. Avoid athletic wear, gym shoes, and overly casual looks. Your host manages the door with your table, and we confirm the current policy with your booking.

Table guests generally arrive as the room fills, with the peak on weekends. Your MyRSVP host coordinates a specific arrival window so you are not waiting in line.
