With accolades from James Beard and Bon Appétit, Yardbird pays tribute to the craveable American classics that bring people together. Guests can indulge in brunch, lunch, dinner and a curated cocktail program highlighting a dynamic collection of bourbons. We are located in the heart of the River North nightlife and entertainment district, steps from the Magnificent Mile.

Yardbird takes guests on a culinary journey through a menu of unapologetically indulgent dishes and heady bourbon cocktails. Serving up nationally acclaimed comfort food for more than a decade, it’s no secret our restaurant has garnered global fanfare.

At the Yardbird bar, bourbon is king. From small batch and experimental releases to exceptional, hard-to-find classics, we pride ourselves on having one of the country’s finest curated collections with over 60 standouts. The cocktail program highlights fresh fruit juices, herbs, spices, and, of course, bourbon, bringing the bar program to the forefront of mixology. Our program is fresh, fun, a little bit familiar, and unabashedly American.
