Beatnik on the River

Beatnik On the River takes guests on a journey with its boho-chic design and globetrotting dishes and cocktails. Stunning views of the Chicago River—from an expansive riverfront patio to the interior mezzanine—enhance the distinct experience, as does an entire vintage jewelry shop installed inside.
