This 2,200 SF space (plus full basement 1,800 SF) is ideally suited for an all-day concept from coffee and brunch to high-volume game-day and nightlife operations. The layout supports a dual-experience model with a bright, street-facing main level and a separate, more intimate lower-level bar/lounge.
The property features strong frontage, excellent foot traffic, and immediate proximity to one of Chicago's highest concentration of bars, restaurants, and year-round entertainment.
