Welcome to Hawksmoor Chicago, where we bring our acclaimed steakhouse experience from the UK to the iconic LaSalle Powerhouse in River North. Our ethos is simple: ‘Buy the best and let it shine.’ We serve all-natural, pasture-reared, dry-aged beef from US family-run farms, cooked over charcoal and seasoned simply with sea salt. Our seafood, sourced from trusted Northeastern fishermen, is prepared with equal care.

In our 16,500 sq ft space, featuring barrel-vaulted ceilings and touches from the Golden Age of Travel, Hawksmoor is perfect for any occasion. Whether you’re stopping by for cocktails, a casual lunch or a special celebration, we make sure you leave full and happy. We also offer private dining for groups of 10 to full venue buy-outs for 500—ideal for birthdays, anniversaries, weddings and corporate events.

And don’t miss our Sunday Roast: dry-aged beef, beef-dripping potatoes, Yorkshire pudding and bone marrow gravy—something like a Thanksgiving dinner every Sunday.

Sunday roast
Multiple dates available
Sundays at Hawksmoor are all about our Sunday Roast: all-natural, dry-aged, slow-roasted Rump served with crispy beef dripping potatoes, Caraflax cabbage and carrots, gigantic Yorkshire puddings, lashings of bone marrow & onion gravy and the option for a side of cauliflower cheese or slow-roasted bone marrow and onions. Sunday Roast dates back to the 15th century where large joints of meat were roasted on a spit over an open fire; to achieve a similar flavor, we start ours on our charcoal grill and finish them in the oven. Many who've had a Sunday Roast equate it to a Thanksgiving dinner – a comforting, filling meal that is best in the company of loved ones. And, should a Bloody Mary, or two, be consumed alongside it, who are we to judge?

Cocktail Hour
Nov 4, 2024 - Mar 28, 2025
Mon - Wed - 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM
Cocktail Hour is kind of a big deal here at Hawksmoor. From 5 till 7pm, Monday to Friday, you can grab one of our world-class cocktails for a cool $12 – and we’re doing our freshly shucked Island Creek oysters for just $2 a pop. Try Chicago’s coldest martini – we serve ours at a bracing 10°f – with spicy Scotch Bonnet Oysters or our Full Fat Old Fashioned with charcoal-roasted bone marrow oysters. The best bit? No reservations required – just swing by when it suits you. Of course, if you’d like to stay for dinner, you can book a table any time.
BRING YOUR OWN WINE Monday Club
Multiple dates available
Mon - 5:00 PM - 9:30 PM

Not sure what to buy? Take a stroll over to our neighbors at the Aqua Wine & Spirits store (they’re literally on the other side of the street) and they’ll help you choose something to make your meal pop.

The meat was good. Drinks were very good: not overly sweet, and tasty. Out fish was awful: overcooked, tough and smothered in a heavy sauce. Our oysters were excellent. Sides?The potatoes were impenetrable and tasteless. (Hard to cut through even with a steak knife). Creamed spinach was very good. The fries were unbeatable and the tastiest part of the meal. The Yorkshire pudding was likely 3 days old. Looked very good on the plate but was hard and stale. The gravy: amazing! The service was good, and our waiter was attentive.. However long wait time for entrees

Hi Marcy, thank you so much for the review. Please let us know how we can make it a 5 star experience next time! I'm so sorry you missed out on the Sunday Roast. However, due to popular demand we will be extending our Sunday Roast times to 8pm from This Sunday. Best, Hawksmoor Chicago

Meat was tough/fatty, potatoes not to our liking. Overall, for a meat & potatoes place, pretty disappointing. Sides and service were good. Not what we had hoped for.
