There’s something alluring about Old Chicago. It’s tough to define, as it’s not linear. It’s not black and white. However, it’s affectionate and it’s sexy. It makes you feel comfortable yet curious, engaged, and focused, without feeling the need to explain to you what it is. Grapes and Grains in West Loop understands that and delivers an intimate atmosphere suited for the most memorable of experiences downtown Chicago has to offer.
GG’s is the complete social experience for those looking to indulge in an intimate evening that exudes exclusivity and the underground thrill of 1920s Chicago. From the vintage chandeliers, the exposed brick, and intimate lighting that accompany a sexy drink menu and luxurious bites, GG’s is perfect for date night, happy hour, after-hours work dinner, or simply a get-together with close friends.
The main dining floor features 2,500 square feet that resemble that of a fancy lounge. The wine cabinet and bar were all custom-crafted and featured, and there is even a sabrage room where you can take a large sword and a bottle of bubbly and pop that thing open like you just won the World Series.
Additionally, GG’s is also the ultimate destination in the West Loop for those looking to enjoy live music to accompany their drinks and food. The baby grand piano is a focal piece of the main floor, sitting majestically off-center from the bar. Every seat in the house is designed to marvel at the piece and the talent gracing it at that moment.
In fact, you can enjoy live music at GG Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 8:00 PM – 11:00 PM. Thursday night has no minimums and no live piano fee. Friday & Saturday nights, the piano fee is $10 per person.
Editor’s recommendations at Grapes and Grains include the Back in Black featured cocktail for whiskey lovers. If whiskey isn’t your thing, the Cocoa Butter Kisses cocktails are perfect for those who want a pivot from the wildly popular espresso martini. The Beef Carpaccio and Cheese & Charcuterie Board make for perfect sharable plates as the music and drink program takes center stage.
In all, Grapes and Grains is the old world speakeasy reimagined in a fashion that has the ability to stop time while inside.
