Old Town Social, recently opened at the corner of North Avenue and Cleveland, offers rustic old world charm and a radically modest return to basics. The new neighborhood bar is not about trend chasing, rather interested in having a great time with friends or meeting new ones.

Old Town Social is the perfect place to relax and celebrate in true Gatsby-esque style. Private customized events can be held in the front parlour, holding up to 100 guests with a wood-burning fireplace. 75 guests can enjoy the private back area that boasts a 20-foot ebonized marble bar. The main area accommodates larger parties up to 250 guests and features 23 plasmas for sport viewing or branded special events that seamlessly disappear when not in use via electrokinetic lifts.

You can take pleasure in custom designed menus by Executive Chef, Jared Van Camp (Tramanto, TRU, Blackbird) including in-house cured meats from the charcuterie bar, a first for Chicago, and seasonal and limited edition beer selections including Charles Wells Bombardier, exclusive to Old Town Social. Nationally renowned mixologists work directly with guests to create personalized drinks and, with advance notice, charcuterie is available for purchase, custom branded as a take away gift.
