Exceptional Steak in the Historic LaSalle Powerhouse
River North, 500 North LaSalle Dr, Chicago, IL 60654
“One of the best steakhouses in the world has finally arrived in the Windy City.”
Robb Report
Since opening our first steak restaurant in 2006, we’ve set a high standard for steakhouse dining. Now we’re bringing everything we’ve learnt to the historic LaSalle Powerhouse in River North, Downtown Chicago. Built in 1886, this once bustling transport hub – and then Mr Michael Jordan’s restaurant – now represents everything we strive for: to serve the very best steaks and seafood in a restaurant that honors the amazing food and the building’s storied past.
All 16,500 sq ft of it has been refurbished, with care taken to preserve the charm of its barrel-vaulted ceilings and exposed timber joists, while adding tasteful touches that evoke the ‘Golden Age of Travel.’ A little low lighting, some tasteful music, and laid back service complete the offering.
Expect world-class dining, a buzzing bar with innovative cocktails, exceptional steak, our legendary Sunday roast, and exceptional private dining and event spaces. Let’s make your visit a memorable one.

Holiday Dining at Hawksmoor
We love the holidays, but the jingles, tinsel and turkey set menus aren’t really our thing. So, come the festive season at Hawksmoor Chicago – whether it’s Thanksgiving, Christmas or any celebration – things pretty much stay the same. You might spot a wreath on the door or a fundraising mince pie, but otherwise, it’s a Mariah-free zone, serving up exceptional steaks, seafood, and a few seasonal sides.
More than anything, we’re focused on making you and your family, friends, or colleagues feel properly looked after. Like hosting at home, but without the cooking, cleaning or chaos. Our advice? Book your holiday gathering early – things get busy around here.
Events, group dining & private dining in Chicago
So, you’re looking for a beautiful space for a special occasion? Maybe it’s a business thing? Either way, take a peek at our four private event spaces. Secluded and super versatile, they all come with dedicated servers and menus that make all our Hawksmoor classics event-friendly.
From 16-seat Lady Bird and 22-seat Big Mike (perfect for intimate private dinners) to the 100-standing Beef Stakes Room (weddings and cool conferences) via 150-seat Beef & Liberty (big birthdays), we have you and your event covered.
Need more space? Ask us about an exclusive-use booking for 384 seated guests or a whopping 500 standing. 16,500sq ft of space with the look and feel of the Golden Age of Travel. In a word? Memorable.
Hawksmoor Gift Cards: The Present They’ll Actually Want!
Let someone else get them socks or a smartspeaker this Christmas and give your favourite foodie something they’ll really enjoy. We like to think of our Christmas gift cards – starting at $50 – as a ‘safe bet’ stocking filler. That’s because you can be certain they’ll open the door to a memorable meal, in a place where the people you care about will be well looked after. You can buy a gift card in any of our restaurants or, if that’s not convenient, grab a digital version online.
Sometimes it’s nice to pair a more tangible prezzie with your gift card, which is where our two hardback recipe books and Hawksmoor Tributes come in (think ‘posh Rolos’ and you’ll be on the right track). Better than a satsuma, right?
Give the gift of Hawksmoor this Christmas.
Sunday Roast in Downtown Chicago
Available from 12-4:30 PM every Sunday
Our very British Sunday roasts are a Hawksmoor stalwart at our Chicago restaurant and have twice been voted the Best Sunday Lunch in the UK. A whole rump of dry-aged beef is cooked super slow, first on real charcoal and then in the oven. Or groups can choose to feast on a range of handsome sharing steaks.
It’s then served with our much-loved trimmings: beef-fat roast potatoes, buttered greens, carrots and a gigantic Yorkshire pudding (trust us, they’re great) – all ready to be doused in our bone-marrow gravy. Many who have tried it liken it to a Thanksgiving dinner.
“Hawksmoor’s Sunday Roast – beef is the star.”

Bring Your Own Wine Mondays
Have you heard of our Monday Wine Club? It’s a simple concept: bring any wine you like – doesn’t matter if it’s a first-growth Bordeaux or a bottle of Barefoot – and we’ll only charge you $10 corkage (for up to two bottles).
Not sure what to buy? Take a stroll over to our neighbors at the Aqua Wine & Spirits store (they’re literally on the other side of the street) and they’ll help you choose something to make your meal pop. You can even call us ahead of time and ask one of our somms what they suggest.
Cocktail Hour is our happy hour!
Cocktail Hour is kind of a big deal here at Hawksmoor. From 5 till 7pm, Monday to Friday, you can grab one of our world-class cocktails for a cool $12 – and we’re doing our freshly shucked Island Creek oysters for just $2 a pop.
Try Chicago’s coldest martini – we serve ours at a bracing 10°f – with spicy Scotch Bonnet Oysters or our Full Fat Old Fashioned with charcoal-roasted bone marrow oysters. The best bit? No reservations required – just swing by when it suits you. Of course, if you’d like to stay for dinner, you can book a table any time.
Why is our food so good
As a proud B Corp, we aim to be a company that everyone can feel proud of: you, our customers; our team members; local charity groups; and, of course, our suppliers. The result is that we get to show off the best produce the US has to offer. And you get to eat it.
That means menus featuring all-natural beef from ethically reared cattle, carefully cooked over live-fire charcoal; along with sustainable seafood, fresh local produce and artisanal cheeses. It’s all part of our goal to become one of Chicago’s best steak and seafood restaurants. But, of course, we’ll let you be the judge of that.
here for you, for every occasion.
Hawksmoor Chicago is the spot for every occasion – whether it’s a leisurely lunch, a family feast, a business meeting or a big celebration. With great steaks, sustainable seafood and a warm welcome, we make every gathering feel special.
Come for the food, stay for the good times – whatever the reason, we’ve got you covered.
