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 our 14,500sq ft patio. Awash in natural light, the dining room is anchored by a 40-foot wooden bar where Alec Pignotti’s beverage program takes a bright, ingredient-driven approach with cocktails both classic and original. Chef Amanda Salas’s menu taps into the cravings of everyday life, offering casually elevated dishes with playful Chicago swagger.
Named one of the best bars in Chicago “Finally, a governmental entity you can drink at” Thrillist, 2019.
