The Bassment

Why The Bassment matters in Chicago

The Bassment is one of the reservations Chicago regulars plan around, not past. On a peak weekend the room runs tight, the door tightens with it, and a confirmed table is the difference between an evening that lands and one spent hoping. MyRSVP handles that reservation end-to-end — the table tier, the bottle minimum, and the host who expects your name at the door.

How the night runs at The Bassment

The Bassment occupies the lower level beneath The Hampton Social at 353 W Hubbard in River North, operated by Parker Hospitality. The 1960s British Invasion-inspired design centers on a full stage and combines gold accents, exposed brick, velvet and leather seating, and mood-setting lighting accessed via a secret door and red curtain. The club runs Thursday and Friday 9:30 PM–2:00 AM and Saturday 8:00 PM–3:00 AM with a polished dress code enforcing elegant, trendy attire. Programming leans toward live music and bass-heavy electronic genres—deep house, techno, and contemporary hits—with Summer Thursdays featuring free RSVP entry and local and guest artists. The sound system handles the sonic demands of both live performers and DJ sets without compromise. VIP tables accommodate up to six guests with bottle service starting around $300, while table minimums range $500–$1,000 and include priority access, dedicated staff, and complimentary mixers. The handcrafted cocktail menu rounds out the experience. It’s compact and intimate rather than sprawling, which creates an energetic but contained atmosphere—ideal if you want engagement over anonymity, though operating hours are limited to Thursday through Saturday nights only.

What MyRSVP secures at The Bassment

What MyRSVP unlocks at The Bassment: pre-held table allocation on headline and holiday nights, direct-to-host communication on your arrival window, confirmed bottle minimums quoted in writing (no surprise uplift), guest-list pre-approval for names beyond the table, and the authority to re-seat your group if placement falls short of the tier you booked. For birthday and celebration tables, we coordinate in-room presentations with the promoter ahead of the night.

Hours, dress, and planning windows

Plan for The Bassment the way the regulars do. The room runs thursday–friday 8:00 pm – 2:00 am; saturday 8:00 pm – 3:00 am. closed sunday–wednesday — the hours in the venue info block are accurate but the prose matters for search. On the dress side: Smart and elegant. Tailored trousers or smart jeans, collared shirts or stylish tops, dress shoes. No sportswear, shorts or flip-flops. Minimum spend moves with the calendar rather than with a flat price sheet; expect peak uplift around the May–October outdoor season, plus NFL, NBA, and MLB game weekends year-round, sharpest on Lollapalooza, Bears, Bulls, Cubs, Sox, and Blackhawks game nights, quoted transparently up front on any reservation request. Flagship inventory on those weekends closes three-to-eight weeks ahead; weeknights and shoulder dates hold value.
