A beach club of this scale might be the first (and most popular) that Chicago has seen yet.<\/p>\n<p>The Patio, open for lunch and dinner, is a more informal space that takes walk-ins, while the more upscale Restaurant will require reservations, showcasing floor-to-ceiling glass views of the lake.<\/p>\n<p>Each portion of the Shore Club will offer a special menu. Although the dinner menu for The Restaurant hasn&#8217;t been revealed yet, it will focus on Mediterranean cuisine, and the brunch menu lists a cold and pastry station, carving and hot station, omelette station, jumbo crepe station, and sweet table for $35 per person. The space has capacity for 200 and can also be booked for guest speaking or charity events. The Oasis&#8217; menu offers shareable small plates, ideal for groups, with items like Fish Tempura Lettuce Wraps and Cabana Skewers. The Patio&#8217;s bar will offer house cocktails such as the Mag Mile Mule and Gold Coast Colada.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mworksa.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MWorks Architects<\/a>, a local firm, led all aspects of design for the Shore Club. Typically, Chicagoans flock to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.castawayschicago.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Castaways<\/a>, the beach&#8217;s party destination, to enjoy the annual <a href=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/taking-flight-with-the-chicago-air-and-water-show\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Air &amp; Water Show<\/a>. However, those looking for a more elevated experience might be interested in special packages that the Shore Club is offering to view the popular aerial event.<\/p>\n<p>This place will undoubtedly draw in major crowds this summer, so hurry and make your reservations now!<\/p>\n<p><em>Image Credits: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mworksa.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MWorks Architects<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As if North Avenue Beach isn&#8217;t the most popular summer hangout in Chicago already, now there&#8217;s even more reason to have a beach day in the city.
