An exotic neighborhood escape with globetrotting cuisine, tropical cocktails and bohemian interiors in Chicago’s Lincoln Park.

Beatnik is a collection of Mediterranean restaurants and bars from Bonhomme Group, inspired by the bohemian spirit of the 1950s and ’60s and those who have chosen creativity, curiosity and self-expression over convention. With locations in Chicago’s West Town, along the Chicago River and in Lincoln Park, each Beatnik is distinctly its own while sharing a sense of escapism, discovery and joyous hospitality.

Beatnik’s globally inspired menus follow a philosophy of “Mediterranean with a passport,” traveling through the Eastern Mediterranean, North Africa and beyond, alongside tropical cocktails and a wine program built around discoveries from lesser-known regions and producers. Conceived by Daniel Alonso and Maison Bonhomme, each Beatnik layers lush interiors, collected objects, abundant greenery, music, food and drink into an escape from the everyday—worldly, romantic and a little unexpected.
