Bavette's Bar & Boeuf

Iconic/NotableRiver North · Steakhouse Community-sourced, unverified
📍 218 W Kinzie St, Chicago, IL 60654

Bavette's Bar & Boeuf has played 1920s speakeasy since opening in River North in August 2012 — exposed brick, mismatched hanging light fixtures, leather Chesterfield sofas, and a lower-level lounge decorated with papier-mâché animal heads.

Tourist Friendly
Dish Gem$$$
The chocolate cream pie is the dessert people specifically save room for, rich and properly set, not just an afterthought on the menu.

Dry-aged steaks are the actual draw, and it's picked up a Michelin Guide mention every year since 2014.

It's also a Hogsalt restaurant — the same company behind Au Cheval and Bub City — a lineage that's since spun the speakeasy-steakhouse format out to Armitage Alehouse, Trivoli Tavern, and Ciccio Mio.
