Brings the same warm hospitality and soul-warming rustic Mediterranean-inspired cuisine Chicagoans have come to love on Randolph street to the river north neighborhood.

A Chicago favorite for 20 years, originally conceived as a wine bar, avec is the second concept from celebrated one-off hospitality.

Located on the 8th floor of 640 N Lasalle Drive. Inspired by the leisurely style of dining and imbibing found at casual seaside diners in coastal Spanish & Portuguese towns, bar avec combines that charm with sweeping rooftop views of Chicago’s downtown skyline.
