The Hungry Post Sit at the Bar Dinner Series in Chicago is presented by: 

After the huge success of our Sit at the Bar Dinner Series in Miami and LA last year—we’re thrilled to introduce for the first time ever The Hungry Post Sit at the Bar Dinner Series in Chicago presented by Mastercard, spotlighting some of the best restaurant bars in the city.

If you believe the best seat in the house is always at the bar, then this series is for you. We’re taking over some of the city’s hardest-to-book restaurant bars for an intimate dining experience where you’ll not only enjoy incredible food but also connect with fellow diners, bartenders, chefs, and the restaurant teams behind it all.

From August to November, we’re hosting four exclusive Sit at the Bar dinners at some of Chicago’s most sought-after spots: MatildaAkiro Hand Roll BarKayao, and Crying Tiger.

In a city known for its dynamic dining scene, this series stands out for its access to some of Chicago’s most talented chefs. You’ll experience exclusive, one night only crafted menus paired with cocktails, all while taking in the bar’s energy, where the best stories (and drinks) are shared.
