Black Briar

Fulton Market · American Community-sourced, unverified
📍 201 N Morgan St, Chicago, IL 60607

Black Briar took over the old Bar Takito space in Fulton Market and replaced it with something a lot more serious — a coal-fired American restaurant from Jimmy Papadopoulos (Bellemore, Bohemian House) and his former Bellemore colleague Tim Anderson, with a raw bar built around chilled seafood and oysters.

$$$$
The raw bar's oyster treatment — horseradish ice and roasted kombu instead of a standard mignonette — alongside a coal-fire menu that runs meat, fish, vegetables, and grains through the same live fire.

The kitchen runs everything — meats, fish, vegetables, grains — through the same live coal fire, and the oyster program gets a genuinely different treatment than the standard mignonette: horseradish ice and roasted kombu instead. It's dinner-only, Monday through Sunday from 4 p.m., smart casual, cash not accepted, with valet at the door one block south of the Fulton Market strip.

OpenTable puts it at the $50-and-over tier, which tracks with a coal-fire-and-raw-bar restaurant from two Boka-family alums rather than a neighborhood spot. No happy hour or oyster discount turned up in research, despite oysters being the obvious hook — this reads as a full-price destination room from the day it opened, September 26, 2026.
