About

Bernard’s is a landmark cocktail lounge built upon precise cocktails that pay tribute to the past through moments grounded in the present. Returning after an extended hiatus, the resurrection of Bernard’s takes root in the heart of Chicago’s Gold Coast, offering unforgettable experiences guided by knowledgeable staff, refined cocktails that each have a story, and exceptional plates of nosh. The aesthetic is inspired by the men in Coco Chanel’s life, with an equestrian influence that creates a room that wraps itself around you like a tweed riding jacket worn in the Scottish Highlands. Masculine yet soft, textured and warm, dark but welcoming. Let’s raise a glass to honor the past, live in the moment, and appreciate what the future brings.
