Wine-focused Chicago restaurant featuring Midwestern takes on Mediterranean dining classics. avec has been a Chicago favorite for over 19 years.

Originally conceived as a wine bar, avec is the second concept from celebrated One Off Hospitality. While wine still remains at avec’s core, the rustic menu features ingredients from valued local purveyors for weekend brunch and dinner service seven days week. The wine list, while extensive, remains moderately priced and draws primarily from boutique vineyards in Southwestern Europe.

did you know avec west loop has a third floor? because it does, and it’s ready for your event.

keep it cozy in the blackbird room (8–14 guests, big windows, perfect for intimate dinners)
go bigger in the loft room (17–24 guests, private bar included)
or take over the whole floor (up to 55 for a standing party)

basically: whatever level of dinner party energy you’re bringing, we’ve got a space for it.
