City Hall 838 W. Kinzie Street Chicago
Enormous restaurant and event space City Hall opened around the middle of June with simple American dishes and an abundance of drinks named with civic puns. Owners hope the 18,000-square-foot space will cultivate a comfortable neighborhood feel with occasional DJ appearances and live music according to a news release.
Culinary director Michael Taus (Charlie Trotter’s, Zealous, Taus Authentic) designed a menu of comfort foods that draws on memories of his mother and grandmother’s classic dishes, according to a news release. These include a grilled cheese with poblano jam, applewood-smoked bacon, havarti, and white cheddar, and chili-garlic chicken wings served with yogurt mint sauce, buffalo-style, or with blue cheese dressing.
