Located in Chicago's West Loop, Recess Bar and Patio serves up good times and zero red tape. Retractable glass-paneled garage doors open directly onto the patio. Awash in natural light, the dining room is anchored by a 40-foot wooden bar offering signature cocktails (including CBD and spirits-free options) as well as a menu of elevated American dishes. Check out the daily lineup of events - live music, trivia nights, NFL on the big screens, etc. Even in Recess, we've got a lot going on.Named one of the best bars in Chicago "Finally, a governmental entity you can drink at" Thrillist, 2019. Just next door you will find City Hall, our 10,000-square-foot event space.
