Chic art-filled spot for seasonal New American fare & cocktails.
"Cozy up to the fireplace indoors at the chic lobby restaurant and bar within the Sophy Hyde Park for smoked salmon deviled eggs, steak, and housemade pasta, or retreat to the Sanctuary, an outdoor space with couches and a fire pit perfect for sharing a flight of margaritas. The spot is popular for business meetings and weddings, but also brings in plenty of Hyde Park locals for brunch. Book a table through Resy." - Sam Nelson
"There’s a fireplace inside Mesler, but those who like to enjoy the crisp fall air can also visit The Sanctuary, the outdoor dining area outside Hyde Park’s Sophy Hotel. Trees give the space a secluded vibe for sitting on one of the bright purple couches by the fire pit and sipping cocktails inspired by the nearby University of Chicago. The restaurant also serves as a community hub where local artists and businesses show off their work. Book a table through Resy." - Sam Nelson
"The Sophy is a new boutique hotel in Hyde Park with a sophisticated vibe, so it’s a given they offer Botanist and tonics. It’s the kind of place that really elevates the clean simplicity of a gin and tonic by garnishing it with a slice of citrus or fresh herbs to the whole experience to the next level. Good thing we like fancy." - team infatuation
"Hyde Park’s reliable hotel bar gets into the spirit of the season with its own hot toddy, pumped up with Jack Daniels and passion fruit tea." - Naomi Waxman
"Dubbed the Sanctuary, the tree-lined outdoor space at Mesler features a fire pit, lounge seating, and lights strung from the ceiling. It’s a cozy space to enjoy a seasonal cocktail like a guava margarita or frozen rosé blended with passion fruit liqueur, and small plates such as chili-glazed chicken wings or shrimp cocktail." - Sam Nelson
