Craft workshops, pop-ups, coworking, events & a patio bar
"A co‑working space and social club in Avondale with a big pop‑up‑type kitchen and a large courtyard the founders felt was underutilized, it now has an anchor restaurant and a dining room that preserves the building’s industrial character with high ceilings, exposed brick, and garage doors that open onto a courtyard." - Jeffy Mai
"Opened five years ago by Jim Lasko and tucked off Elston Avenue, this multiuse venue combines a members-only co‑working space with a library, a cafe, a bar and event space; it has hosted private parties and a rotating lineup of food pop-ups. Since 2020 the site’s culinary roster has evolved—one pop-up brought Southern Indian fare, a nearby barbecue operator expanded toward the Chicago River, and a longtime neighboring brewery shut down—and the owners are now partnering with the team behind a respected Logan Square cocktail bar to add a permanent restaurant and expanded outdoor seating, with perks for members." - Ashok Selvam
"A collaborative seasonal patio bar that will open its membership-club bar and 100-seat patio to the public on nights and weekends, serving a concise menu of six po’boys, charcuterie and cheese boards, sides and snacks, plus soft serve in flavors like rhubarb-and-riesling and chocolate-and-buttermilk." - Ashok Selvam
"Avondale: Newish pop-up series Ommi Foods... will return on Sunday, May 19 with a Bosnian Sijelo, or ‘sitting party’ where family and friends gather over food and cups of coffee." - Ashok Selvam
"A coworking space in Avondale that served as the venue for her hands-on dumpling parties and classes, offering communal rooms and a casual, collaborative setting well-suited to teaching and social cooking events; it functioned as an ideal place to foster group participation, conversation, and the kind of intimate, shareable gatherings she promotes." - Jessi Roti
