Athena

Food + DrinkGreektown · Greek Community-sourced, unverified
📍 212 S Halsted St, Chicago, IL 60661

Athena's real flex isn't on the menu — it's the retractable-roof patio out back, a waterfall-adjacent space that seats nearly 300 people and claims one of the largest outdoor dining footprints in the city, usable in literally any weather since the roof closes over rain or snow.

$$

The food backs it up with a modern-meets-traditional Greek menu built around six signature spreads and a cocktail list deep enough to be called out on its own.

It's the kind of Greektown spot built for a big group night out rather than a quiet two-top dinner, and free valet parking removes the usual excuse not to go.
