If you work downtown and are looking for a happy hour spot or you’re catching a show, I’ve got a place for you to check out: 📍 The Grillroom Chophouse & Wine Bar (right across from the CIBC Theatre) @thegrillroomchi They’ve got a weekday happy hour Monday–Friday from 3–6 PM, and while it’s not a huge menu, it’s honestly perfect for what you need: a quick bite, a solid drink, and a relaxed vibe before the night gets going or you had a long day at work. So you have few good food options, a couple of go-to drinks, and a space thats more elevated than your typical after-work stop. And let’s talk about that wine list… because THAT is where they really shine. If you’re a wine lover, you’re going to be right at home here. Whether you’re heading to a show, meeting up after work, or just want a low key but classy spot to unwind, this one gets the job done ✔️ #planesandplates #Chicago #chicagosteakhouse #HappyHourChicago #ChicagoTheatreDistrict Food, foodie, Chicago food, travel, things to do in Chicago, Chicago restaurants, the loop Chicago, restaurants in the loop, content creator, traveling, wander, wanderlust, 312food, choose Chicago, food photography, food, foodies, the loop, content creator, influencer, Chicago influencer, travel creator, travel influencer, foodporn

Hey, Chicago! I’m a Chicago-based flight attendant and content creator, always on the lookout for the best spots around the city. I love helping locals and visitors discover their next go-to place. Tonight, I’m sharing one of my favorites: The Grillroom Chophouse & Wine Bar @thegrillroomchi Right in the heart of the Loop and Theater District. Bacon flights, wedge salad, perfectly cooked steaks, mac and cheese, Brussels sprouts… and crème brûlée for dessert. Your table is waiting at 33 W Monroe St. #chicago #chicagoloop #chicagosteakhouse #chicagorestaurants #chicagotheatredistrict

I got “loaded” the other night, a loaded baked potato that is… @thegrillroomchi welcomed myself and @gmomduke in for a pre-theater bite. There was no second guessing on ordering the @nueskes bacon flight with traditional, peppered and candied and “shell” always order oysters when they are on a menu. The cherry and goat cheese salad was topped with prosciutto and full of spinach and arugula. Pam is also a “sea-soned” ordered and had to have the branzino with arugula, artichokes and gremolata. Then my “stake” came with a head of roasted garlic (making sure I stay safe from vampires this spooky season) was topped with truffle butter and a side of béarnaise. While my companion sipped some Pinot I opted for the Golden Hour with @stoli vanilla, @chinola passion fruit liqueur, passion fruit puree, lime and prosecco then a Topical Storm with @bacardi , @campariofficial , pineapple, oj and passion fruit. 🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴
