Great News! The Kibbitznest you’ve come to know and love since 2016 is here to stay!

Following an outpouring of love and support from our community, we’ve found the people who will carry forward Kibbitznest into our next chapter. More on that to come, but for now, a huge thank you is in order!

You all made it clear that Kibbitznest is beloved and needed here in Chicago. So many of you reached out with stories of the connections you’ve made here over shared laughs, discussions, and drinks. Thank you!

We especially want to thank the many parties that came forward to meet with us to offer their visions, expertise and passion in running Kibbitznest as we know it; it was a very tough decision as it was narrowed down to just three parties. Most importantly, they each wholeheartedly shared a loyalty to the nonprofit’s mission of balancing digital with face to face communication.

THANK YOU!

And by the way, this means we are now able to resume bookings for private events, parties, meetings and just to hang out! Please reach out to store@kibbitznest.com for more information about hosting your event.


Cheers to many more Kibbitz years!
