The opening of Pendry Chicago in May 2021 marked Pendry Hotels & Resorts’ Midwest debut to downtown. Now, Pendry has officially introduced two brand new dining and drinking concepts at the hotel, located in Chicago’s Loop Neighborhood at 230 N. Michigan Avenue.


Château Carbide - Offering a hidden escape to the French Riviera 24 stories above the the city, Château Carbide offers Chicagoans and travelers an opportunity to experience the art deco-style building. Indoors, two adjoining rooms encased in glass windows offer seating in velvet banquettes for up to 80 guests. A gold-trimmed bar houses bottles of specialty rosé by Chateau d’Esclans alongside an open-view sushi station. Outdoors, guests can visit a Cote d’Azure-inspired garden oasis overlooking Chicago’s skyline, which serves as an all-day menu. By day, guests can soak up the sun and relax on soft seating and striped loungers while sipping on an array of summer drinks, including a curated selected of rosé available by the glass, bottle, magnum or jeroboam (3 liters), as well as craft cocktails, champagne, frosé and more. Accompanying the pours and designed for sharing, the Carbide Picnic features an assorted basket of artisanal cheese and charcuterie, market crudité, locally-brewed spiked kombucha and optional Siberian Osetra caviar. At 5:00 p.m., Château Carbide transitions into a nightlife scene complete with rotating DJs spinning French house music, rosé and champagne-forward bottle service, oversized rattan lanterns and a plethora of candles along with light bites and a menu of hand-rolled sushi from Chef Tony Kim (The Peninsula) such as Crunchy Tuna with Fresh Truffle Mushroom Maki, Smoked Lobster, Maguro Caprese, and more. Château Carbide is open Friday – Saturday from 2:00 p.m. – 12:00 a.m. and Sunday from 12:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m. Walk-ins are accepted and reservations are via OpenTable. 

Bar Pendry - Recently opened in tandem with the hotel on May 26th, Bar Pendry is an homage to the classic Chicago cocktail bar. Tucked behind a heavy floor-to-ceiling curtain adjacent to the lobby, the space boasts a dark and moody atmosphere with leather sofas, oversized armchairs, custom banquettes, and a curated collection of art. Centered around a double-sided fireplace, the 54-person bar focuses on specialty and seasonal cocktails crafted with locally-sourced ingredients as well as a selection of wine and local beers. Through the afternoon and evening, Pendry Chicago’s Executive Chef Jeff Vucko (The Langham, Public, The Wit) presents a menu of bar bites including Turkey Bacon Jam Burger, Tuna Tartare, and Pomme Frites with Malt Vinegar Aioli. Bar Pendry is open Monday – Thursday from 3:00 p.m. – 11:00 p.m., Friday – Saturday from 12:00 p.m. – 12:00 a.m., and Sunday from 12:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m. Walk-ins are accepted and reservations are available via OpenTable.
