The Whiskey-focused spirits and cocktail list offers eight house cocktails, four Proper Whiskey drinks, four versions of Old Fashions (including a bacon-infused Jim Beam), and spirit free options.
“Our unwavering passion for food has built Yardbird into the award-winning restaurant it is today. Everything we do is from scratch, and I know the people of Chicago will appreciate the time we’ve taken to master such an unforgettable experience,” said Kunkel. He adds, “I look forward to making Yardbird Chicago an unmissable destination in the food and drink capital of the world.”
The Chicago opening will mark the brand’s seventh location.
