One of the most anticipated openings of the year — Time Out Market Chicago — is now open in the West Loop. The new food hall brings together some of the city’s most revered chefs, restaurants, and mixologists all under one roof, for a one-of-a-kind food and culture experience.
Time Out Market will feature an impressive culinary lineup of 18 eateries serving cuisine from the city’s top restaurants, with everything from cult-favorite burger joints to Michelin-starred spots. The food stalls are a mix of new concepts exclusive to Time Out and extensions of existing Chicago favorites. There will also be a rooftop bar, a hidden speakeasy, a demo kitchen, event space, and more.
The market is located in the heart of Fulton Market, one of the city’s hottest dining destinations. Guests can sample fare from a variety of chefs to get an of-the-moment taste of the city’s acclaimed dining scene. The current lineup includes:

Time Out Market boasts three bars — a massive bar on the first floor, an indoor/outdoor rooftop bar serving Chicago-inspired cocktails, and a hidden speakeasy from the team behind Lost Lake. To find the speakeasy, just look for the bell on the second floor. Give it a ring, and a window slides open to reveal a secret tiki bar with a full menu of tropical drinks.
Along with all the food and drinks, there’s also an entertainment area with bleacher seating for live performances and a demo kitchen that will host chefs and events.
The Chicago location is one of several Time Out Markets around the globe, joining locations in Lisbon, New York, and Miami. The fifth location to open this year, Chicago now claims the title of largest Time Out Market in North America with 50,000 square feet and three floors.
