City Winery Chicago

"A neighborhood music venue located down the street from the new Wild Hare location in the Fulton Market District." - Serena Maria Daniels

"The dynamic event space at City Winery in the West Loop can cater to nearly every nuptial need, from an intimate ceremony for 50 or a reception bash for 400. Wines are fermented on-site from grapes imported from the East and West Coasts and South America and are available on tap." - Naomi Waxman, Eater Staff

"Stumble into this Center City spot on any night of the week and there’s a good chance that you’ll catch some great R&B singers, pianists, and rock acts on either stage in the venue. They also have a massively long wine list and food options like fig and pear flatbreads topped with bleu cheese, burgers, and cavatelli pasta with spicy succotash. Just make sure you grab a reservation for the big acts since it gets pretty crowded for those." - Candis R. McLean

"Prince’s last Chicago show was at City Winery and that alone serves as this West Loop venue’s claim to fame. Yes, it’s hosted many other famous artists, but no one on that level. This place showcases every genre under the sun, and the most popular shows are by neo-soul, jazz, blues, and folk artists. The food menu in the music hall is just as varied albeit an abbreviated version from the restaurant. There’s burrata & prosciutto flatbread, plus steak frites, duck tostadas, and mushroom and goat cheese risotto balls. They’ve made the task of choosing simpler for finicky diners by adding a prix-fixe food and wine pairing option." - Audarshia Townsend

"City Winery will soon require customers to take a $50 onsite COVID-19 test before entering the restaurant." - Tanay Warerkar
