About this restaurant

Neighbourhood gem
Good for groups
Good for special occasions

Speak easy vibes set the feel of this old school Chicago tavern. Mix in live music Thursday through Saturday and your environment is cool and complete for a great dining experience. Think Supper Club. Dinner at the bar is also an option with the full menu available. Ribs, Steaks and Seafood front the fare along with fantastic sides and soups. Don't sleep on the Burgers... served with fresh cut fries. The Baby Back Ribs take top billing and you can pair them with your choice of seafood including fried shrimp, steamed crablegs or half a chicken. Quality and consistency in both food and service are worthy of your dining dollar. A recent make over of our side room has inspired Club 45. A perfect private room with a mix of seating arangements for lunch, brunch or dinner affairs. Let us host your next gathering of 20 to 50 guests. Free parking is available right next to the restaurant in the Huntington Bank lot.
We thank you in advance for joining us,

Love the ribs and friend shrimp. Au gratin potatoes, salad with garlic dressing. Waitress was fabulous but never gave her name. Platinum blonde. It’s like a speakeasy no outside windows or TV’s .

The food and service were great. I had the ribs and shrimp combo which was amazing. The ribs fall of the bone and the sauce is zesty and full of flavor. The shrimp are hand breaded and are filling. Overall, a wonderful dining experience at The Gale Street Inn.
