Named by Robb Report as one of the Top 10 Best New Restaurants in the country, Brasero combines South American passion with midwestern grit and brings Chef John Manion's talent for wood-fired Latin cooking to West Town’s bustling restaurant row. This sultry 120-seater draws inspiration from across Latin America, honed through Manion’s decades of experience. Think flame- roasted, whole young chickens slicked with garlic-chili oil, steaks cooked over an open fire alongside chimichurri, and moqueca teeming with mussels, shrimp & Mahi Mahi with coconut-scented rice—all washed down with quenching caipirinhas, locally brewed, Latin-inspired beer and 100 bottles of wine under 100 dollars.

An exotic neighborhood escape with globetrotting cuisine, tropical cocktails, bohemian interiors, and a great place to watch sports in Chicago’s West Town.
Named after the Bohemian freethinkers of the 1950s and ’60s, Beatnik West Town channels the Beatnik generation’s sense of style, aspiration, and rebellion to create an exotic escape with maximalist interiors and lush gardens.
Mirroring our design-through-storytelling whimsy, Beatnik’s culinary team takes guests on a globetrotting journey that starts in the Eastern Mediterranean, moves westward across Northern Africa and finishes across the Atlantic with the flavors of Mexico.
Beatnik’s beverage team makes tropical cocktails that are savory and fresh, with inventive recipes that follow a no-waste sensibility. Our wine list is a compact attaché that contains the story of winemakers who make wine in lesser-known regions of the Mediterranean and the Americas.

Tabu’s interiors combine a certain sophistication and playfulness, with a ceiling adorned with nearly 10,000 individually cut ropes, enigmatic pop art murals, and a sunken cocktail lounge that begs you to order just one more round. Tabu’s food offerings were designed to pair perfectly with its tantalizing beverage program, which is set to boast the largest collection of Mezcals and Tequilas in Chicago.

Tuck away your phones and create a moment where time stops, and new memories are born through intimate experiences.

Welcome to Oggi Trattoria!
Family owned and operated, Oggi makes every guest that dines here feel like they are part of the family, too.
In Italian, Oggi means “today,” and there’s no time like the present to be in the moment, enjoying a meal of fresh and delicious Italian food in the company of loved ones. The menu offers un classics like Grilled Octopus, Calamari, or Baked Clams as starters to whet the appetite. Pastas include favorites from house-made Gnocchi to Spaghetti Carbonara, Fettuccini Alfredo, and Lasagna. Meat dishes range from seafood and pasta dishes (try the Gamberi Alla Diavolo, linguine with a spicy shrimp and tomato sauce) to Saltimboca made with chicken or veal. Oggi’s menu features a wide range of pizza: both stuffed and thin crust, build-your-own or traditional. And it wouldn’t be an Italian family dinner without their homemade Tiramisù and Cannoli to finish off the meal. Come prepared to eat, and enjoy like you’re truly one of the family.

    We’ve been hesitant to visit the Walnut Room due to food allergies but decided to give it a try. From the moment we sat down, Jesus, our waiter, was so attentive. He noticed our allergen card in the table and immediately addressed it, letting us know he find out anything we needed to know and would talk to the chef personally to see what our son could eat. We’ve always wanted to visit this beautiful restaurant but never did out of fear of allergies. But Jesus helped to make this experience amazing for our whole family. Thank you for taking the time to understand our allergies and walk us through the menu. It was a great start to the holiday season. We will be back again!

    I was celebrating my daughter's 24th birthday. From start to finish the service was impeccable. My daughter is a pescatarian and loves korean food which is one reason I choose this restaurant. Although being a prefixed menu, they were very accommodating in offer alternate no meat plates. The drinks were very good. The staff was very attentive through out the evening. Overall, was a very satisfying evening. Would highly recommend.
