Chef's Special Cocktail Bar

Regular Hours today & tomorrow. Join us on the patio or unwind at the bar.

THE MINI SKIRT. Try one on for size 🎀 This month with $1 each sold going to where they empower kids ages 8-12 through cooking classes in under- resourced neighborhoods in Chicago.
In each 8-week session, the kids experience powerful life lessons firsthand - things like the importance of patience, that it’s ok to ask for help, how to course-correct when things aren’t going as planned. Each class follows the “5 Steps to Cook Anything” - a model that can be applied outside of the kitchen toward the kids’ challenges and goals in life.

Thank you 🌹 for including us on spots to hit up for a BIG NIGHT OUT IN CHICAGO. P.S. that is what we call a “Hollywood Dunk” of hot mustard purely for the fun of the photo. Beware and do not dunk that hard in real life.

Right This Way! We are excited to be joining in celebrating their 10yr anniversary by offering some goodies for our guests this week. Make a reservation or walk on in, we look forward to seeing you!
