A landmark Chicago setting with serious scale for events.
Set across three floors of the historic LaSalle Street Cable Car Powerhouse in River North, Hawksmoor Chicago combines the character of Chicago’s industrial past with Hawksmoor’s world-class food, cocktails and warm hospitality.
For DMCs, event agencies and corporate planners, Chicago is one of Hawksmoor’s most versatile event destinations: intimate private dinners, presentations and networking receptions through to major brand events and exclusive parties for up to 500 guests. Its downtown location also puts it within easy reach of the Loop, Merchandise Mart and many of Chicago’s leading hotels.
As a UK Certified B Corp and purpose-driven business, Hawksmoor is committed to doing business the right way – from supporting our people and communities to working with responsible farmers, ranchers and suppliers. Hawksmoor has also been ranked the No. 2 World’s Best Steak Restaurant in 2026.
Menus celebrate some of the best American beef and produce, with dry-aged steaks from carefully selected farms and ranches, sustainable seafood cooked over charcoal, seasonal local produce and artisanal cheeses. Drinks are equally important, with Hawksmoor’s award-winning cocktail and wine programmes bringing another dimension to receptions and events.
