The Big Mike Room
The largest of our two private dining rooms seating up to 22 people or 32 standing. Named after a Champion Shorthorn bull born in 1919. It’s also a subtle nod to Michael Jordan, the mightiest of all Chicago Bulls whose restaurant once occupied this building.
The curved ceiling is inspired by the railroad cars the building powered, and the walls are covered in Chicago cattle history, mixed in with vintage menus from Michael Jordan’s and other iconic restaurants from Chicago’s past.

Our food & drinks menus
Our events menus are perfect for standing style receptions or seated dinners. We feature a range of options that can be tailored to suit a variety of dietary requests. We feature sharing menus which offer a range of classic Hawksmoor dishes and our dictionary-thick steaks. All are served family style – with the steaks cooked to order, sliced, and served in cast-iron skillets with our legendary sides and sauces.
All menus can be accompanied by matched wines selected by our team of sommeliers, as well as a variety of cocktail packages showcasing an aperitif to start and a digestif to finish your meal. If you prefer to order drinks à la carte once in the restaurant, that’s no trouble at all.
We can cater for vegetarians or any other dietary requirements you or your guests may have.
