Taking its cue from a neighborhood saloon, this casual, checkerboard-floored eatery from the folks behind Gibsons Steakhouse and Hugo's Frog Bar ups the ante by serving classic, craft cocktails made from fresh-pressed juices to patrons perched on leather and wood barstools at linen-topped tables. Attracting a buttoned-down, professional crowd to its Gold Coast confines, LUXBAR’s menu delivers all-American, feel-good foods in a modern-minded fashion, whether it's Buttermilk-Fried Chicken with hand-cut fries or a hand-formed Kobe Burger slathered with truffle butter. Oversized salads, sliders on housemade buns, eggs (available all day), and a selection of steaks and seafood round out the selection. LUXBAR offers an exceptional weekend brunch, and as a testament to the restaurant’s commitment to high standards, ingredients often are local, natural, or organic. Be sure to check out the second-floor balcony, which offers a great glimpse of bustling Rush Street.
