Chicago Dinner for 8-10

I'm heading to Chicago for a bachelor party the third weekend in May and am looking for a place that could accommodate 8-10; is lively but the food is great and preferably meat-centric. I was thinking maybe Publican but I haven't been to this great city since 2011 so I don't know what changes, what's new, etc...

Also, I'm looking at all you can eat/drink rooftops for a cubs game on Friday or Saturday. I can't remember the one I did a few years ago but it seemed like a good deal (around $100 or so) and it was a great time.

Thanks in advance for any input.
