Plumbers Hall

“Grand events don’t just happen,” a seasoned event planner once told me, “they’re crafted.” And nowhere is that crafting more evident than at Plumbers Hall. Plumbers Hall isn’t just a building. It’s a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the Chicago Journeymen Plumbers Local Union 130. Located in Chicago’s West Loop, Plumbers Hall, also known as the Stephen M. Bailey Auditorium, stands as a beautiful Beaux Arts complex. It showcases the elegance of Art Deco architecture. Imagine stepping into the magnificent 9,000 square foot Main Hall. Picture the natural wood floors gleaming under the glow of chandeliers. The built-in stage, a generous 30 by 30 feet, beckons performers and speakers. Above, a wide balcony offers a unique perspective on the grandeur below. Plumbers Hall isn’t just about aesthetics. It’s about functionality too. This venue boasts a complete A/V system, podium, microphones, and a large projection screen. Need a smaller space? The Lower Hall, a 250-seat dining area, offers a more intimate setting. It even features a beautiful antique wooden bar. Plumbers Hall has hosted galas, fundraisers, and even seasonal markets. From intimate gatherings of 20 to grand celebrations of up to 2,000, Plumbers Hall adapts. Its versatility is truly remarkable. While the union reserves the right to approve all events, the hall’s doors are open to corporate and organizational events. So, the next time you’re looking for a venue that blends history, elegance, and practicality, remember Plumbers Hall. It’s a place where grand events are not just held, they’re made.
