Hackney's on Lake

We've been in this business for over 79 years. So believe us, we know how to throw a great party. We make it simple for you, easy on your budget, and lots of fun for your guests. (And you too.)

We can accommodate parties from 20 to 200. We have years of experience hosting wedding rehearsals, wedding and baby showers, cocktail parties, birthdays, reunions, holiday parties, sports banquets, business meetings, memorials, retirement parties and more

There are two ways to contact us to book a party: You can call us at 847.724.7171. Ask for Mary Corby, Hector Avila, or Sally Landri. You can also contact us by email at hackney724@aol.com. Check out our room photos at hackneys.net

We offer a wide range of options from tasty hors d'ouevres to full course meals. We also provide a variety of choices for guests with gluten-free and other special dietary needs. Don't see what you have in mind? Let's talk. We're very flexible

A non-refundable deposit of $100 is required to secure your reservation. It will be deducted from the final bill. Cook County Sales Tax of 9.75% will be added. Suggested gratuity of 18% and 20% will be shown on the final bill

20 guests minimum required for a private room. The menu must be decided upon one week in advance of the party. The guest count must be guaranteed 24 hours in advance. Room is subject to change depending on the size of your party

We'll make sure your guests have a great time without getting your budget hammered

we can even supply your own private bartender with your own private mahogany bar

With the open bar option, all drinks served by our severs and/or bartender are added to the bill

With a cash bar, our servers collect the price of each drink from your guests

A popular way to offer your guest something to drink while keeping costs down is a beer and wine table. We set up a table with beer and wine on ice, with glasses on the side. Your guests help themselves. At the end of the party, we tally how many bottles of beer and wine were consumed and add it to the bill. Bottles of house wine are $22.95 (You can take home any leftover wine)

If your party is booked in the Shillelagh Room, which has a full service bar, we can staff that bar with a bartender ($40 fee on a cash bar). As the bar often becomes the center of the party, this option is highly recommended
