Since opening in 1991, Kinzie Chophouse has remained a cornerstone of Chicago dining. Rooted in the energy of River North, Kinzie pairs the traditions of a classic Chicago steakhouse with the warmth of Mediterranean hospitality–woven into everything from the welcome at the door to the menu itself. On the plate, Kinzie showcases both wet- and dry-aged prime cuts from longtime purveyor Meats by Linz, served alongside fresh seafood and timeless steakhouse sides. Complemented by tableside steak presentations and an award-winning wine program, Kinzie Chophouse is the kind of restaurant where regulars return and newcomers feel at home–a neighborhood steakhouse that is unmistakably Chicago.

Connection. Creativity. Chaos (the fun kind). Available all over the USA! Forget the icebreakers and trust falls.

Here’s What You Get: • 🎸 Live Music that kicks like a drum solo at Wembley • 🎤 Storytelling that hits the heart (and the funny bone) • 🎶 3-Part Harmony Choir — no singing skills required, just good vibes • 🤘 Audience Improv — spontaneous, unforgettable, and never awkward • 📝 Custom Song Creation that ties your event together with a chorus your team will hum all the way home Perfect for: • 🚀 Launching big ideas • 🔋 Energizing the middle of a long agenda • 🎉 Ending on a high that actually gets remembered We’ve done this with 10 people. We’ve done it with 2,500. Either way, we bring the same stadium-worthy energy. We’re fronted by Grammy-nominated INXS frontman Ciaran Gribbin, backed by world-class musicians, and powered by pure rock ‘n roll spirit. This isn’t “team building.” It’s a shared experience that gives your people goosebumps, grins, and genuine connection. Ready to shake things up? Let’s talk. "Best Team Building I've ever booked.
