You may have heard of Revival Food Hall, the dining hall in the middle of the Loop that opened in August 2016. The brains behind the tasty operation decided to take it up a notch, with Revival Café Bar officially launching a new program called “Overtime.” Basically, if you work in the Loop, you and your work posse now have another place to wind down after hours.

From your morning coffee stop to your after-work happy hour, RCB promises to offer some of Chicago’s best drinks all under one roof, and some pretty unique programming to get you through your work week. Here’s what to expect:
